Do u guys ever think about dying?
hi po! i was wondering if you could recommend some articles or books about visayan mythology, especially those of panay and negros island. also, articles or books about the history of those places before the spanish colonization. thank you so much!
Yup I have a couple. I’m Bisayan myself with my moms family coming from Aklan. Here are a few good sources to read.
- The Boxer Codex (Bisayans Chapter only) This is a scan of my copy of one of the English editions of the Boxer Codex manuscript. (Because lets face it, these books are not cheap and are hard to find)
- The Muñoz text of Francisco Alcina’s History of the Bisayan Islands (1668), translation by Paul S. Lietz (note: The link only brings you to the page of the 4 volumes. However, only volume 3 is available online.
- Relation de las Yslas Filipinas in 1582 by Miguel de Loarca (have to scroll down a bit for the English translations)
- Chants, Gongs and Ancestral Memories of the Panay Bukidnon, Philippine Islands
- Panay mountains host good vs evil rituals (old newspaper clipping I found from 2002 in the Philippines Daily Inquirer)
Edit: I also just wanted to point out that the original name of the island of Negros was Buglas, which is the name I prefer to use when talking about the island.
“oh yes, i am very reasonable and normal about this subject!!”
