Confer Shamanism in Japan by William Fairchild, Chapter 2 (6. Descent of the Gods & 7. Concept of Possession) on possession and Chapter 4 on Miko.

Also, note that the infamous "Himiko" is thought by Japanese (well, at least those who gives more credit to local sources than Chinese ones), to actually be a shortening of "Hime-Miko no Mikoto". I do not recall Fairchild mentionning it in his thesis, though.
