Philippine mythology is the body of myths, tales, and superstitions held by Filipinos, mostly originating from beliefs held during the pre-Hispanic era. Some of these beliefs stem from pre-Christian religion that was specially influenced by the Hinduism and were regarded by the Spanish as "myth" and "superstition" in an effort to de-legitimize precolonial faith by replacing those native beliefs with colonial Catholic Christian myths and superstitions. Today, some of these precolonial beliefs are still held by Filipinos, especially in the provinces.
Filipino myth is incorporated from various sources, having similarities with Indonesian and Malay myths, as well as Christian traditions, such as the notion of Heaven (kaluwalhatian, kalangitan, kamurawayan), Hell (impiyerno, kasamaan), and the human soul (kaluluwa). Filipino mythology attempts to explain the nature of the world through the lives and actions of gods, goddesses, heroes, and mythological creatures. A majority of these myths were passed on through oral tradition.

Blood of Forgotten Gods
Blood of the Forgotten Gods By Velastrea For centuries, the world believed the old gods simply vanished. That they faded into myth under the shadow of colonization and the rise of religion. But the truth was buried-literally. The Spanish conquest was not just a thirst for land or souls-it was a secret mission ordered by the Vatican to hunt down the ancient gods, goddesses, and anitos of the world. One by one, they were captured, chained, or forced into hiding, their names erased from prayers and pages. Their temples burned. Their stories silenced. But the blood of the divine cannot be killed. Mayari, a quiet Filipina girl from a remote province, was born with power humming in her veins. At two, she healed the dying. At ten, she made the crops bloom in a dying land. At eighteen, her eyes glow like the moon when she prays. Her family has hidden her gifts all her life, but destiny can only be delayed, not denied. Now, haunted by visions of gods in chains and guided by whispers of a past buried in the roots of her bloodline, Mayari must journey into the heart of the enemy-the Vatican itself. To awaken the imprisoned, to reclaim the forgotten, and to ignite the divine war long overdue. Because the gods are not dead. They are waiting.

Worse, she's supposed to learn the "ancient art of torso-separation" before her 18th birthday or lose her family's powers forever. With a talking pet tiktik, a TikTok-famous kapre, and a best friend who's a half-duwende barista, Luna's about to find out that being supernatural doesn't make high school any easier-especially when a mysterious boy who hunts aswang enrolls as the new transfer student.Terminé

The blue moon oath
When Pavin, a quiet half-Thai boy, returns to his late father's ancestral home in Chiang Mai after his mother's death in China, he expects only loneliness in a strange land. But fate has been waiting a hundred years for his return. Inside the decaying mansion of his father's legendary bloodline, Pavin breaks an ancient seal - freeing a sorcerer spirit once imprisoned by his family through a sacred relic: the Jyothirlinga, a divine stone said to carry the light of Lord Shiva himself. The spirit awakens and seizes his father's body, seeking the divine power now hidden within Pavin. In a final act of love, Pavin's father sacrifices himself - embedding the Jyothirlinga into his son's heart and casting him into the river below the Himmapan Forest, home of the mythical Vasuki Naga. Pavin survives, rescued by Ohm, a calm but mysterious forest explorer who hides his own secret - he is the descendant of the monk who once sealed the same spirit. Guided by an aged monk, they uncover the prophecy: "When the Blue Moon Eclipse rises again, the Jyothirlinga must be returned to the Naga's statue in the sacred cave. Only then shall the balance between heaven and earth be restored." As Pavin and Ohm journey through the enchanted forest, Pavin discovers strange powers awakening within him. When he wishes for rain, the heavens obey. When he touches the wounded, their pain fades. Soon, villagers call him Phra Dek - the Holy Child, believing he is a god reborn. But every miracle steals a fragment of his humanity. Each wish brings him closer to becoming divine - and farther from the boy he once was. Meanwhile, the spirit - wearing his father's face - grows stronger as the Blue Moon Eclipse nears, hunting Pavin across the mountains. And amid the curse and chaos, love begins to bloom between the boy who carries the light of the gods and the man fated to protect him. When gods, curses, and destiny entwine - will their love save the world... or be its final sacrifice?Terminé

Disclaimers: -Everything narrated is purely fictional and should not be perceived in a serious manner -this book contains mentioning of: war, gore, trauma, delusions, and other controversial topicsTerminé
