Скачать или смотреть The Babaylan of the Visayas: Priestesses, Healers, and Keepers of Tradition

Long before colonization reached the islands of the Philippines, the Visayas was home to powerful spiritual leaders known as the Babaylan. They were the priestesses, healers, and shamans of their communities — women (and sometimes men) who served as mediators between the human world and the spirit world.

This documentary explores the mystical role of the Babaylan, their influence in precolonial Visayan society, the sacred rituals they performed, and their resistance against colonization. Despite centuries of suppression, the legacy of the Babaylan continues to inspire cultural revival and pride among Filipinos today.

Join us on a journey into the heart of Visayan spirituality, where tradition, power, and faith shaped the destiny of a people.
