Babaylan Stories

A modern-day female psychiatrist, descended from a line of powerful babaylan, wants to end her lineage by never marrying or having children. Meanwhile, the heir of a cursed, elite family must marry a babaylan or die before his 30th birthday. Their lives intertwine, triggering a reckoning with ancestral betrayal, spiritual power, and forbidden love.

Three years after the events of Book One, Raia has finally begun to live peacefully as a young babaylan. The voices of the dead have disappeared, and she believes the terrible events surrounding the First King are finally behind her. But that peace ends when the dead suddenly rise from their graves. A mysterious black shell appears in the river. An eighth symbol begins appearing on Raia's body. Ancient seals begin breaking. And Raia encounters beings older than the gods worshipped by the people of Himalaya. She learns that the world has deliberately forgotten an ancient civilization known as the First World-a civilization that existed before the Seven regions were established and before the spirits became known as gods. At the center of that forgotten history is Amahara, an ancient being who calls Raia her child. Raia eventually discovers the horrifying truth: She was not chosen by the spirits. She was returned to the world. And someone has been preparing for her return for centuries.

Ang kwentong ito ay kathang-isip lamang ng may akda, hango sa ating mga ninuno bago pa man dumating ang mga Kastila. Ito ang kwento ni Era-iya, isang makapangyarihang Babaylan na isinilang na may dalawang katauhan - katawan ng isang lalaki, diwa ng isang babae. Sa panahong ang mga katulad niya ay iginagalang at kinatatakutan, siya ang tulay sa pagitan ng tao at ng mga anito. Ngunit nang dumating ang mga mananakop, ang mga Babaylan ang unang pinuntirya. Hinuli, pinahiya, pinutulan ng buhok, at pilit na binura sa kasaysayan. Namatay man ang katawan, hindi ang diwa. Apat na raang taon ang lumipas, muling isinilang si Era-iya sa ibang panahon. Maalala pa kaya niya kung sino siya? At sa mundong pilit pa ring nagdidikta kung paano dapat maging isang lalaki o babae, maibabalik pa ba niya ang kapangyarihang minsang kinuha sa kanya? Isang kwento ng kapangyarihan, Pag ibig pagkakakilanlan, at muling pagsilang.

Lason ang pag-ibig. Sa isang mundong ang mga espiritu ay pinaniniwalaan at ang bawat lihim ay may kapalit, isang babaylan ang namuhay para sa kanyang bayan tagapamagitan ng mga ninuno, tagapag-ingat ng mga ritwal, at babaeng hindi kailanman dapat magkamali. Hanggang sa dumating siya. Si Elena, isang guro mula sa hinaharap, ay hindi sinasadyang napadpad sa nakaraan. Sa mundong walang kuryente, walang teknolohiya, at ibang-iba ang mga paniniwala, kailangan niyang hanapin ang paraan upang makabalik sa kanyang panahon.

🩸 DARK SECRETS When forbidden love awakens the secrets of the night. Sa isang mundong pinaghihiwalay ng dugo, lahi, at matagal nang galit, dalawang nilalang na hindi dapat magkakilala ang unti-unting nahulog sa isa't isa. Isang lobo na lumaki na naniniwalang ang mga bampira ay kanilang kalaban. Isang bampira na may lihim na maaaring tuluyang magbago sa mundong kanilang ginagalawan. Sa bawat pagkikita nila, mas lumalalim ang damdaming pareho nilang pilit tinatanggihan. Ngunit habang unti-unting nabubunyag ang mga lihim ng kanilang mga pamilya, napagtanto nilang maaaring hindi lang kanilang pag-iibigan ang nakataya. Dahil may mga lihim na mas mabuting manatiling nakatago. At may mga pag-ibig na kahit bawal, hindi kayang pigilan ng kadiliman. Two worlds. One forbidden love. Too many dark secrets.

Siquijor. Alas-dose ng gabi. Sabi ni Lola Ising, wag na wag akong sisilip sa balon sa likod. Pero may kumakanta. Boses lalaki. Pag silip ko, may nakatayo sa tubig. Gwapo, maputi, basa ang buhok - pero hindi lumulubog ang paa. "Matagal na kitang hinihintay, Luna," sabi nya. Akala ko multo. Mas malala pala. Sya si Alon. Ang Bantay. At ako ang ikapitong henerasyon ng Babaylan na isasakripisyo para isara ang lagusan. Pero paano kung ayaw kong maging alay? Paano kung gusto kong mahalin ang Bantay na dapat kong katakutan?

Before the Philippines were colonized by foreign countries, Filipinos have Babaylan who is equally ranked to the status of a chieftain (Datu). The Babaylan guided her people with her knowledge in food, animals, clothing, medicine and other ways of life. Sooner or later, the name of Babaylan was changed into ambularyo, manghihilot and other practitioners. They have expertise in healing with the use of herbs, amulets and other traditional medicines. Today we still have ambularyo and other medical practioners and they are focused to heal the sick and to treat various diseases. #herbal plants #cure #treatment #health #medicine

The war didn't begin with monsters. It began with people. When a foreign nation invades the Philippines, millions are forced to choose between survival and resistance. Among them are Aether, a first-year Marketing student, and Jace, a young licensed teacher whose only goal is to protect the life they've built together. But as the country falls into chaos, something impossible begins to awaken. Strange abilities emerge from ordinary people. Rumors spread of miracles that defy reason. While some use these newfound gifts to protect others, many discover that power can be just as dangerous as war itself. With their home reduced to ruins, Aether and Jace set out on a journey across a broken nation in search of family, answers, and hope. What begins as a desperate fight to survive slowly unravels an ancient truth buried deep within the history of the Philippine archipelago-a truth that could unite the world... or destroy it. As humanity stands on the edge of extinction, one question remains: What if the greatest power was never meant to be a weapon... but a choice?

Tala is a 21-year-old first year medical student at the University of the Philippines Philippine General Hospital. Unbeknownst to most, she hails from generations of babaylans, Filipino shamans tasked with appeasing, harnessing, or communicating with spirits of the dead and of nature. While groomed to practice the ancient traditions of her forebears, she must also make her way into the world while protecting her family's legacy, both financially and socially. Though her sheltered youth makes her naive and inexperienced, she is eager to explore. Narciso is a 28-year-old pathology resident trying to juggle work and a family secret that has only barely evaded escape. He is the youngest in a family of aswangs, ordinary humans by day, monstrous shapeshifters by night, able to hide their true nature through stealth, as well as wealth accumulated through generations of assimilation with society through a booming family-owned sugar conglomerate. Narciso is torn between the vagaries of his origins, unwanted family obligations, and his medical vocation. Tala and Narciso eventually meet at the Philippine General Hospital. Narciso has become weary of the world and Tala's enthusiasm, compassion, and innervating conversations are like a breath of fresh air. Despite having different backgrounds and values, the two are inexplicably drawn to each other. Tala quickly discovers that Narciso is far more complex than she initially assumed. As their unlikely friendship grows deeper, Tala begins to understand how fear and ignorance can cause people to be unforgiving, judge others harshly, and make careless, life-altering decisions. Along with this newfound understanding comes a greater appreciation for her own heritage.

Five teens. One ancient legacy. A battle for Ma'i's soul. In the scattered islands of Ma'i, where jungle meets city and myth hides in the cracks of everyday life, stories of gods and guardians have faded into superstition-forgotten relics of a time when the divine walked among mortals. But not all myths stay buried. When long-dormant deities rise again-vengeful, powerful, and determined to reclaim a world that has moved on-five teenagers are thrust into the center of a war they never saw coming. Each one is the descendant of a forgotten babaylan line, carrying within them gifts they never asked for, bound to a heritage they were never taught to understand. As chaos begins to ripple across Ma'i-storms that defy science, creatures thought to exist only in folklore, whispers of war in both the mortal and spirit realms-these teens must come together. They are strangers from different walks of life, with fractured pasts, clashing beliefs, and wounds that run deeper than they know. To survive, they must uncover the truth of their bloodlines, unlock their ancestral power, and confront the gods-old and new-who would see the world burn to remake it in their image. But power alone will not be enough. They must learn to trust each other, forgive what they find in themselves, and fight not just for survival, but for the soul of Ma'i itself. Will they rise as protectors-or fall as pawns in a war older than time? The fate of their world may depend not on their strength... but on their courage to remember who they truly are.

Noong 1593, isang sundalong Kastila ang biglang nawala sa Maynila at nagising sa Mexico. Sa paghahanap niya ng mga sagot, nakilala niya ang isang dalagang nagngangalang Claudia at magkasama nilang natuklasan ang isang nakalimutang mundo ng mga Babaylang tagapagbantay, mga nakatagong lungsod, mga sinaunang tawiran, at isang hula na may kaugnayan sa kapalaran ng dalawang mundo. Habang unti-unting humihina ang isang sinaunang selyo, kailangan nilang malaman ang katotohanan bago muling maulit ang kasaysayan.

Takot ang siyang madarama sa pagtuklas ng mga bagong bagay na hindi kapani-paniwala ngunit siya'y hindi natitinag sa mga bagay na 'yon. Tunghayan ang paglalakbay ng isang Babaylan sa mga pook na hindi niya pa nagagawang suyurin ng kaniyang tingin. Mga bagay na hindi niya pa nagagawang paniwalaa ngunit ang hiwagang dala ay nagdadala ng kakaibang dama sa kaniyang diwa. Sa pagdating ng bagong yugto ng kaniyang pag-iral, mababago niya kaya ang tadhanang nakarugtong sa kaniyang buhay? O tatanggapin niya ito ng taos puso?
