Background / Content | Inim is a ritual that is also known by its other name Diwata from the Tagbanua of Central Palawan. It features an elderly female babaylan assisted by lesser baylanes as they perform several trance dances. While in that state, on her head she balances various props such as a porcelain bowl with a lit candle, a small sword, and or a plate and a glass as she sways to the rhythm of two brass gongs. While doing so, she flutters bundles of dried Buri leaves (Ugsang) that she holds on each hand. These dances vary from gentle to violent depending upon the spirit that overcomes her. The reason for the dance is to be possesed by the mighty Magindusa, God of all Gods whose spirit slides down to earth from a mythical boat symbolically passing between two bamboo poles lit with candles. The conclusion of the ritual is the drinking of the ceremonial wine (Tabad) which symbolizes the acceptance of the offering. |
Hey there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble
with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I
ended up losing several weeks of hard work due to no back up.
Do you have any methods to protect against hackers?
I wanted to thank you for this good read!! I certainly enjoyed
every little bit of it. I have you book marked to look at
new stuff you post…

I seriously love your website.. Excellent colors &
theme. Did you create this web site yourself?
Please reply back as I’m hoping to create my own website and would
love to know where you got this from or what the theme is called.
Kudos!
I love it whenever people get together and share opinions.
Great blog, stick with it!
Hi there! This is my first visit to your blog!
We are a group of volunteers and starting a new initiative in a community in the
same niche. Your blog provided us valuable
information to work on. You have done a marvellous job!
You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but
I find this matter to be actually something which I think I would never understand.
It seems too complex and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I’ll try
to get the hang of it!
I’m amazed, I must say. Seldom do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and entertaining, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head.
The issue is an issue that too few people are speaking
intelligently about. I’m very happy that I came across
this during my search for something relating to this.
This website was… how do you say it? Relevant!!
Finally I’ve found something which helped me. Cheers!
The other day, while I was at work, my sister stole
my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a thirty
foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad
is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
I’ve been browsing online greater than 3 hours these days, yet I
never found any fascinating article like yours.
It is lovely worth sufficient for me. Personally, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be much more
helpful than ever before.
Right here is the perfect website for everyone who wishes to find out about this
topic. You realize so much its almost tough to argue with you (not that I
really would want to…HaHa). You certainly put
a brand new spin on a topic that’s been written about for ages.
Excellent stuff, just wonderful!
