EPISODE 22: GOT 2 BELIEVE (IN MAGIC) Part 1 | Anting-Anting, Agimat, and Talismanic Beliefs in the Philippines

In a special 2-part episode, we talk about the origins, myths, and how-tos of Filipino Talismans: what we call the anting-anting or the agimat. Learn about how bones and teeth, bronze and gold, dirt and cloths, all have the power to transform an ordinary mortal into a god.

This first part tackles pre-colonial beliefs, epic connections, and the magic of everyday items like leaves, mud, and even song. Sailing warning: do not listen to this episode while on a boat – you’ll find out why.
