In stock
A Visual Guide to Philippine Folklore is a colorfully illustrated collection of the Philippines' richest folkloric traditions, featuring tales, epics, and legends populated by eerie spirits, powerful deities, and uncanny creatures. The book explores the cultural and historical contexts of Philippine folklore and how it has been passed on through generations. Beliefs and customs that are still practiced in modern Philippine society-including superstitious rituals, the use of anting-anting (amulets), and the continued reverence for traditional healers--are also detailed. A Visual Guide to Philippine Folklore invites readers to an enchanting and imaginative journey into mythological landscapes conjured by Filipino communities ancient and modern-striving to make sense of the mysteries of the world around them.
