荒魂与和魂，是指日本神道信仰中神的灵魂。

The Japanese word mitama(御魂・御霊・神霊,honorable spirit) refers to the spirit of a kami or the soul of a dead person. It is composed of two characters, the first of which, mi(御,honorable), is a simply an honorific. The second, tama(魂・霊) means "spirit". The character pair 神霊, also read mitama, is used exclusively to refer to a kami's spirit. Significantly, the term mitamashiro(御魂代,mitama representative) is a synonym of shintai, the object which in a Shinto shrine houses the enshrined kami. British Japanologist William George Aston (1841-1911) believed the mitama to be comparable as a concept to the Jewish Shekhinah.
