Philippine mythology: Bathala/Bakunawa = Lucifer (light)/Satan (dark) = Yin/Yang

[Maxis Orientis]

Due to the slander against Bakunawa, I will refrain from using most "Bakunawa artwork" I find online since they all are defamatory nonsense that portrays Bakunawa as an "evil moon/man eater" or whatever.

Throughout all Pagan mythologies, one will find stories of "Gods going to war against/raping other Gods" and etc. If one reads HPHC's sermon on this issue, these are obviously allegories not to be taken as literal.

The bigger issue with Philippine mythology is that it was written through the lenses of the Catholic church, so by default, much of the information you'll find out there about the Gods of the Ancient Philippines is shrouded in lots of defamatory garbage. I've also seen some idiot friars and Christians trying to shove Book of Revelation bullshit into the mythology.

So this is the case of the Diety known as the "Bakunawa" of Philippine mythology. Scholars claim it is also the Filipino adaptation of the Vedic and Bon Naga, generic words for Serpentine deities - however, as you'll see, the Philippine Bakunawa is clearly more than a "mere generic deity". It also to note - prior to Catholicism - Philippines was very rich in nativized Vedic religion, though sadly, not as advanced in civilization as some of the other well-known, such as those of India, Indonesia and Malaysia (though occultists theorize Philippines may have been part of Lemuria).

Hindu Naga

Filipino Satanists already know that Bathala Maykapal is Satan, coming from Old Sanskrit Bhaṭṭara (भट्टार) appears in native Filipino script/Baybayin as "ᜊᜑᜎ" or other forms can be "ᜊᜆᜎ" or "ᜊᜆᜑᜎ" but according to the "legend of Bakunawa" - the creature bearing that name is a water serpent, who supposedly went to war against Bathala and swallowed all of the Moons causing the eclipses.

Clearly an allegory (when one throws out all of the Biblical and Catholic nonsense), since the personification of "water serpents" is clearly Satan, as in Greek mythology he was Poseidon/Neptune.

Those familiar with the duality of spirituality will be quick to recognize that Bakunawa/Bathala are the same Being, just two different personifications and simply alluding to the spiritual duality of "light/dark".

If one reads HPHC's sermon "Darkness Is Light, Turned Inside Out" after all... as well as remembering Lord Beelzebub's quote, "Darkness is just Light turned inside-out", one will truly come to comprehend the true meaning behind "Bakunawa eating the moons".

According to the legend, Bathala created 7 Bright Moons, and Bakunawa swallows those moons and creates Darkness.

To simply put it: Bathala is Light/Shiva, and Bakunawa is Darkness/Satan. If one read HPHC's sermons on darkness, it has nothing to do with "evil". Darkness is simply the natural opposite of Light.

You've heard that phrase, "everyone has a dark side", the true meaning of that is nothing "evil" or "bad".

Beelzebul on a basic level wants to explain to human beings to stop worrying about the Darkness as it's an antithesis to the Light. Many people are falsely afraid of Darkness, or the "Dark Demons" and the related. That has arose out of an errant perception of that the origin of our world is indeed the "Darkness".

Darkness, should not be considered "evil" or "emptiness". It is neither. It is the dark force of the universe. We live in a dualistic universe where the qualities of male and female, darkness and light, are into an eternal form of interplay to teach us human beings a lesson.

Each interplay like Yin and Yang in creation. Without Darkness, light would never matter and therefore without darkness there would be no enlightenment. However, darkness would still exist without the light into a state solely by itself. Light could also likewise exist by itself.

Interestingly, in regards to Bakunawa - it was very prevelant in ancient Filipino culture, as you'll see here, an ancient naval ship, known as as karakoa, in the design of the Bakunawa.

They Ancient Filipinos even practiced divination with the Bakunawa, here is a calendar of theirs, I can't quite understand or interpret it as I am not yet at that level.

This next picture is a Bakunawa-designed harp, from the Maranaoan peoples of the southern Philippines, although today Muslim - they still retain lots of Vedic and Pagan influence, unlike the wannabe "Hispanic Catholic" identity being pushed around.

The Bakunawa also appears on sword hilts, such as this kampilan, considered one of the most important historical weapons of the Philippines.

The Bakunawa definitely seems to have undergone the same slander as some of the water serpents in Native American mythology, such as the Sint Holo or the Uktena of Cherokee mythology. Obviously Father Satan, or an allegory of his, twisted into some evil creature that wants to eat people.

HAIL SATAN/BATHALA/BAKUNAWA!

7 moons could represent the chakras. We make out chakras absorb a lot of energy from Sun like the moon does, and program them to shine like the moon. And, Bakunawa could represent the kundalini rising up to the sahasrara chakra causing darkness. And, when there is void of moon, new moons rise up (chakras are now transformed and are stronger).

I got no doubt, as a matter of fact, this is a even better explanation than the one I gave! Thank you for this!

Thanks. I'm not sure if this is true, just my hypothesis.
