92 Babaylan Whispers: for the colonized Filipino mind w Puki Maanawhari
from Integrated Awakenings with Maria
With our returning guest Puki Maanawhari @pukifromearth we get a potent preview of the upcoming book “Babaylan Whispers for the Colonized Filipino Mind”, a very vital but also direct treatise on a Philippine Babaylanic Lineage. In this book Puki has channeled from the foremothers not only accounts of famous babaylan revolutionaries, but also vital invitations and specific languages of native living practices hailing from negros but also adapted and explained to modern times. Plenty of modern texts on babaylans come from an observer’s perspective, talked about in the past tense rather than engaging with it in the present era. Puki and the babaylans of her coven share generously the very personal work of writing down and even translating, the very heart of their spirit and practice. Covers:Why they came to write the book?Babaylanic lineage like a hardy grandmother, souls that are people not non-humansDifferent roles of babaylans like Taga Bantay (protector)Enerhiya and Dunggan (Life Essence) difference with KarmaSocial Work aspects and typical features of a authentic babaylanOral and non-standardized manner of calls and ritualsWhy knowledge and wisdom is earnedWhat’s important is not always convenient---References:Babaylan Sing Back by Grace NonoFirst puki ep:https://shows.acast.com/integrated-awakenings-with-maria/episodes/58-puki-maanawhari-philippine-babaylan-lineage-and-indigenouConnect with Puki:InstagramTiktokBinabaylanInstagramTiktokIf you appreciate this kind of work send tips here: paypal ,You can support monthly here: patreon Book a session:mariamison.io Hosted on Acast.
