Here's your chance to catch up if you haven't listened to it yet -- Episode 20: Manananggal in Manhattan.

Back in the day, our ancestors prayed to different anitos for help & intercession on many different parts of their lives: for safe travels, good harvest, health, good weather and for some tribes: all 23 stages of the weaving process.
What kind of anitos would we need to help us with our modern-day woes? The brainstorming part of this episode might have been a little too revealing...
Let us know what you would invoke an anito for if you had the chance. 🤔 And check out Ep 16: Big Little Gods if you haven't yet! :)
