Executive Pagan

I have recently begun studying Aikido, which I have wanted to do for years. The following links are to sites that I have found useful, informative or interesting.

Aikido and Shinto do not *have* to go together, particularly in the US, but for me they very much do, so I have included my favorite Shinto sites as well (in a separate section).
