Building a Dambana

Feb 01, 2023

Tabi tabi po. Bato bato sa langit, tamaan ay huwag magagalit. I can't help my self in sharing this to everyone as this is part of our Filipino Magick Practices. I know and acknowledge the warning that says that our Vegan Brothers and Sisters would get offended if I post this but this is the works of our Ancestors and this has been practiced thousand of years ago even before there was a Vegan Culture.

Though I will not show here how I offer this Chicken but what I want to share here is the construct that I made for the Shrine Altar which is made of fallen branches from the trees nearby that is tied up together with a vine. It is said that Shrine construct in the old times are just temporary specially if erected during a public ritual such as this which is a graduation ceremony that will serve as a focal point such as a stage where the graduate will march through. Permanent Shrine are always found within the home and we can see that our old religion is home based that is why every Filipino home is sacred as we live among our Gods.

Enjoy this post?
