Translating an omikuji 2013/10/10 17:29
I went to the Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto recently, and got a slip of paper called omikuji. Unfortunately, everything is in Japanese, and I can only make out a few words. I asked my student guide too, but she couldn't help me translate the poem that came with it. I would be so, so, thankful to anyone who can help me translate this. Thanks in advance! ^^

This is the omikuji that I received:
