Filipino Fairy Tales, Mythology and Folklore - Episode 61 - Bathala, Bathalismo and the Infinite God
Filipino Fairy Tales, Mythology and Folklore
I am back with a new podcast season! In my first episode of the new season, let’s uncover the ancient tale of Infinito Dios, the Infinite God. Bathala is the supreme deity in Tagalog mythology, but he was turned into ‘God’ when the Spanish came. One story that has endured is the story behind the Bathalismo, the Infinite God, who refused to be baptized. Please read 'Back from the Crocodile's Belly'. The essay I reference is: "Bathala is Anting-Anting or why Bathala Hides inside the Stone by Nenita Pambid Domingo".

Filipino Fairy Tales, Mythology and Folk Tales - Episode 56 - Snow White and the Seven Dwarves: Breaking the Mirror of Narcissism
Filipino Fairy Tales, Mythology and Folklore
Had this modern interpretation concept of Snow White in my mind since I heard the new plot line for the upcoming Snow White movie. I don't want anymore diversity checklist-esque "empowered" women. I want a broken hero that's escaping a narcissist mother, which was what the fairytale was about in my opinion. One who finds a loving community and it feels too good to be true. One who doesn't wake up to true love's kiss. The love that wakes Snow White is the promise that one can overcome even the darkest of influences with the power of self-love and support from those who truly care.
