oin us on this illuminating journey into the heart of Philippine mythology as we uncover the story of Adlaw, the powerful sun god worshipped by the Visayan people. We explore the origins of Adlaw, his celestial battles, his place in the cosmic pantheon, and how his radiant influence continues to shine in the art, traditions, and daily life of the Filipino people even today.
From his mythological roots as the embodiment of warmth and life to his modern-day presence in festivals, folklore, and the very design of the national flag, Adlaw’s legacy is both timeless and transformative. Along the way, we dive deep into rich cultural symbolism, artistic depictions, and spiritual practices that keep his story alive.
Don't miss this episode if you're curious about how ancient deities evolve with time, or if you're simply drawn to the mythic power of the sun.
"Stay curious and stay mythical."
