You have some really synchronistic art, very beautiful as well.
Thank you very much
I was in a sort of trance when I did many of my works, as I knew these would have messages that would resonate more to some viewers that what I felt it would mean to myself
Hi! matanong ko lang po about mythology; can we safely assume the entity "Diwata" is our version of celestial maidens/apsara?
Diwata is a term derived from the Hindu term Daeva or god. The term in both Filipino and Hindu context can be used for male or female gods. However, the feminization of the Diwata grew from the adopting of local female gods into nature spirits during the Spanish era. Example is the goddess Makiling became Maria Makiling. The concept of nature gods are now nature spirits, such as the European fairies, spites, pixies and nixes. Modern translations of Diwata have further enforced the feminine imagery.
Only one true God and Grand Master of Puppets of this little puppet show:
he was talking to me, not you.
