| outline of philippine mythology: Outline of Philippine Mythology F. Jocano, 2018-11-27 This book is a collection of Philippine myths and tales of wonder grouped under a few large headings and strung together with a minimum of unobtrusive commentary by an outstanding Filipino scholar, Dr. F. Landa Jocano. The stories are drawn both from previously published materials and from Dr. Jocano's own researches, especially in the interior fastnesses of his native Panay. While there is no attempt at comprehensiveness, one is struck by the richness and variety of these Philippine stories of gods, spirits and heroes. The variety is such as at times to induce confusion, especially where the same proper name is given to different divinities or variants of the same narrative are used. These gleanings from the traditions of our animistic forefathers reveal some strands which they may have had in common with some of the major world religions. For example, Dr. Jocano tells us that the early Tagalogs believed in the transmigration of the soul. One would surmise a common culture trait with Indian civilization. Likewise, some details remind one of Biblical lore, such as the flood story, and the use of clay in the making of man as found both in Igorot and Bagobo traditions. The Bisayan divinity Magyan and the Manobo spirit Manduyapit, both of whom ferried the souls of the dead to the afterworld, bear a strong resemblance to Charon of Greek mythology. Some stories may suggest conditions prevailing at the time. For example, there is an extremely interesting reference to lending money at high interest in the Sambal legend of the shark, possibly an indication that the story arose in the early phases of the introduction of money into a subsistence economy. Clearer still are indications of the prevailing ethos among certain people. For example, the Panay epic of Hinilawod narrates the matrimonial exploits of some of its heroes. Labaw Donggon, on his way home with a new bride, hears about another beautiful woman and promptly leaves his wife with his mother and proceeds to court and win a second wife. However, his try for a third bride, a married woman, is not as successful. His brother Humadapnon wins a bride with a feat of strength and magic and then, hearing during the wedding feast about the beauty of another goddess, goes forth to woo and win her. Later, it appears that he also takes a third wife. Perhaps these stories are meant to show that in mythological times men were men, and they may also help to explain the marital behavior of their modern day descendants! Other stories lead one to question whether they antedate the coming of the Spaniards, or whether post-Magellanic traditions have been added to the pre-Hispanic accounts. For example, the Bisayan story of Hari-sa-bukid refers to the planting of tobacco on the slopes of Mt. Kanlaon. Since tobacco is an American plant and was unknown in this country before the coming of western explorers, one wonders what part of the story is pre-Hispanic, if any. Likewise, the Ilocano legend of Lam-ang, while apparently pre-Hispanic in its framework, makes reference to various introduced features such as tobacco, Christian names like Juan, Marcos, Pasyo and Ines, and a church wedding with a nuptial mass followed by feasting where the Fandango is danced. Some of these tales have been analyzed by scholars, both Filipinos and foreigners. Others remain to be collected and collated, as Dr. Jocano's own work demonstrates. Some day it is hoped that we can have an encyclopedic work on Philippine mythology, similar to those available for Greek, Roman, Germanic and Scandinavian folklore. In the meantime, this book may serve as an introduction for laymen to this highly interesting phase of our people's culture. |

| outline of philippine mythology: Diccionario mitológico de Filipinas Ferdinand Blumentritt, 2021 Many authors, ancient and modern, native and foreign, have been preoccupied with 'primitive' religion, or even better said, the paganism of the Natives of the Philippines; however, their writings about the religion of the natives, non-Christianized or from the mountains, who until now keep their ancient practices, are always reduced to form a chapter indistinct from the other historical or ethnographic notes of their published works. There exists no work, [major] or minor, dedicated specifically and especially to the study of the religion of all the indigenous races of the Philippine Archipelago. The purpose of this dictionary is to put together the religious groups of the Philippines, and removing those of Christian or Mohammedan origins. This work will provide an opportunity to make comparative studies and give an idea of the wealth of names that are in the mythologies of this country. |

| outline of philippine mythology: The Creatures of Philippine Lower Mythology Maximo D. Ramos, 2019-11-30 IMAGINARY CREATURES depicted in a people's lower mythology are one of the most important phenomena in their belief systems. This is because the common folk in particular must strive to maintain harmonious relations with these creatures, a continuous process that permeates many aspects of their everyday lives and requires the intercession of a special person in the community who acts as the medium of communication between them.The subject of Maximo D. Ramos's work is the creatures of Philippine lower mythology, as this level of folklore is called. In undertaking this study, Dr. Ramos directed his efforts to two principal tasks: (1) making a taxonomic classification of all the beings which in his opinion fall within the framework of the problem as found in Philippine folk beliefs, and (2) correlating the implications of these beliefs, in terms of these classifications, to education, particularly on the elementary level.The taxonomic classification is intended to help clear up the confusion that attended earlier studies of these creatures. This is indeed the first attempt to systematize the identities of these Philippine mythological beings for the benefit of folklore scholarship. More specifically, Ramos writes: Where names, traits, and functions appear to have become confused ... through the process of transfer that constantly occurs in traditional lore, it was thought fruitful to point these out and then attempt to account for them.In spite of the very extensive Christianization of the Filipinos-particularly the lowlanders-these mythical entities still persist in their traditional belief systems, hence the student of folk traditions cannot ignore them if he is to achieve greater relevance in his studies. Little by little the perspective from which these creatures have been traditionally viewed is bound to change until they are accepted as part of our cultural heritage. This change is bringing about an understanding of these creatures' function in our society.The present work is primarily taxonomic in nature but it sheds light into many of the dark corners of Philippine folklore studies and brings to the reader a fuller understanding of the most maligned inhabitants of the Philippine other- world. Herein lies the major contribution of Dr. Ramos-a basic recognition and a deeper insight into the cultural heritage of the Filipino. |
| outline of philippine mythology: Philippine Folk Tales Mabel Cook Cole, 2016-08-21 The folk-tales in this volume, which were collected in the Philippines during the years from 1908 to 1914, have not appeared in print before. They are given to the public now in the hope that they will be no mean or uninteresting addition to the volumes of Oriental Märchen already in existence. The Philippine archipelago, from the very nature of its geographical position and its political history, cannot but be a significant field to the student of popular stories. Lying as it does at the very doors of China and Japan, connected as it is ethnically with the Malayan and Indian civilizations, Occidentalized as it has been for three centuries and more, it stands at the junction of East and West. It is therefore from this point of view that these tales have been put into a form convenient for reference. Their importance consists in their relationship to the body of world fiction. |

| outline of philippine mythology: The Ruin of Kasch Roberto Calasso, 2018-01-02 An “erudite” translation of a classic work on violence and revolution as seen through mythology and art offers “unsettling observations on civilization” (Kirkus Reviews). The Ruin of Kasch takes up two subjects—“the first is Talleyrand, and the second is everything else,” wrote Italo Calvino when the book first appeared in 1983. Hailed as one of those rare books that persuade us to see our entire civilization in a new light, its guide is the French statesman Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand, who knew the secrets of the ancien régime and all that came after, and was able to adapt the notion of “legitimacy” to the modern age. Roberto Calasso follows him through a vast gallery of scenes set immediately before and after the French Revolution, making occasional forays backward and forward in time, from Vedic India to the porticoes of the Palais-Royal and to the killing fields of Pol Pot, with appearances by Goethe and Marie Antoinette, Napoleon and Marx, Walter Benjamin and Chateaubriand. At the center stands the story of the ruin of Kasch, a legendary kingdom based on the ritual killing of the king and emblematic of the ruin of ancient and modern regimes. Offered here in a new translation by Richard Dixon, The Ruin of Kasch is, as John Banville wrote, “a great fat jewel-box of a book, gleaming with obscure treasures.” |

| outline of philippine mythology: Philippine Folk Literature Damiana L. Eugenio, 2002 Philippine Folk Literature: The Legends constitutes Volume III of the author's eight-volume Philippine Folk Literature Series. The present volume focuses on the legend, which may simply be defined as an account of an extraordinary happening believed to have actually occurred. The Introduction gives a more detailed characterization of the legend, distinguishes it from the folktale, offers a system of classification, and gives a detailed description, with examples from the collection, of the different types of Philippine legends. Five types of legends are given : heroic/historical legends, about epic and culture heroes, historical personages, and persons with extraordinary powers; religious legends, recounting miracles of God and His saints; legends narrating encounters with supernatural beings (aswang, cafre, duende, etc.); miscellaneous legends--about sunken bells, buried treasure, etc.; and place name legends. Within each category, the legends are arranged by geographical regions--Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao. As in the other volumes in the series, the selections are given in English translation. Like them also, this collection is intended to be national in scope. Care was tfore taken to make it as widely representative as possible of the different types of Philippine legends and of the different ethnolinguistic groups in the country. |
