Probably because there are only two foreign instructors that I know of who have made a serious study of the subject, and neither of them posts around here
. This has nothing against foreigners, very few Japanese spend much time on it either.
OTOH, I would note that both of the people I mentioned above are fluent in Japanese. Kotodama is tightly tied to the Japanese language, and to Japanese mystical texts that are not available in English, so I would be would take commentary on the subject by people not both fluent in Japanese and conversant with the material with a large grain of salt. FWIW, I include myself in that category, not because I am not bilingual, but because I don't have the background necessary to delve into that topic in depth.
Best,
