The Spread Shot of Minoriko Aki from the world where mountain gods cause an uproar (a Touhou LW original). She uses Hayagriva's power in this attack. Given that they have the head of a horse, it's speculated that Hayagriva originated via some sort of syncretism with a horse god. Horses played a vital role in plowing fields, so they were likely worshipped as gods that brought abundance. (They were also recognized as victory-bringing war gods owing to their frequent use in battle.) In many ways, a happy horse was the key to a happy harvest.

The Focus Shot of Minoriko Aki from the world where mountain gods cause an uproar (a Touhou LW original). She uses Dakini's power in this attack. Dakini is known for the deep resentment they bear, but because of their connection to the agricultural deity Inari, they are also believed to be a god of rice. This connection derives from Dakini's history with foxes. Back when humans lived in the mountains, they worshipped wolves because they hunted crop-eating animals. However, after the wolves descended from the mountains, foxes hunted those animals in their place. It's theorized that this is the reason foxes came to be worshipped as servants of Inari.

A Spell Card of Minoriko Aki from the world where mountain gods cause an uproar. She uses the power of the autumn gods in this attack. The weather in the mountains is unpredictable. Changes in temperament lead to changes in spirit energy, and since the mountain gods are spiritual beings, they've grown accustomed to constant change. It's often thought that faith is unchanging and everlasting, but the subjects of faith, i.e., the gods, have undergone enormous changes throughout history. This phenomenon is pronounced enough in religions with sacred texts and scripture, let alone in those that rely on their teachings being passed on verbally from generation to generation. At one point, there weren't even places like shrines where believers could gather.

A Spell Card of Minoriko Aki from the world where mountain gods cause an uproar. She uses the power of the wheat god in this attack. Faith in food is said to be both fundamental to humanity and its most persistent form of faith. With food, humans can survive. Without it, they cannot. In ancient times, humans traveled the world in search of food. Swelling populations and a lack of food transformed humans into globe-traversing adventurers. If humans ever leave Earth to live out among the stars, it will inevitably be a lack of food that spurs them on.

The Last Word of Minoriko Aki from the world where mountain gods cause an uproar (a Touhou LW original). She uses the power of the abundance gods who gather on the Youkai Mountain in this attack. It is the job of the abundance gods to provide food for humans and fill their bellies. Gods take pleasure in watching over humans who show their gratitude after a satisfying meal and then work hard to ensure the next set of crops can thrive. However, they despair at humans who show no gratitude, only pray when they are in need, constantly complain, and, ultimately, abandon their faith. Food requires effort to be made. Even food that you may stumble upon unexpectedly didn't simply appear out of thin air. The gods blessed those who had faith and worked hard while providing for those incapable of work. However, access to food eventually became the default, and humans lost their gratitude, leading to discontent, prejudice, and a rapidly increasing population. All of that was inevitable from the moment they started seeking abundance, which occurred at the very birth of humanity.
