BANSAGAN TALA TANDA ON JUNE 12, 2023

It has been our Tradition in Luntiang Aghama to celebrate the Philippines declaration of Independence day every the 12th day of June and this year it will be the 124th years of that Declaration. But from 1898 up to this current year 2023, are we truly independent? On the past year, our Shrine provides Public Ritual Service that is called Freedom Redemption: Blessings for all nations of the world which started as Blessings for the Philippines Ritual on June 12, 2011. This gathering of Filipino Magickal practitioners were initiated by our Beloved Ancestor
Rev. Paul Escubido Cabalfin aka Bae Ulang Udig which is a Binabaylang Binisaya. This simple blessing ritual have grown when Bae Ulang Udig have crossed over to the plane of our Ancestors. And we have extend out this ritual not only to the Philippines but also to all the Nations of the World.

As Filipino are not only found in the Philippines but we are spread out all over the world; so as those who need Freedom are also all over the world. Recently I have seen a Movement in Social Media that talk about Decolonization, I have no personal Idea about who started this movement or what is this all about, but in my mind it equates to my work of Spiritual Detoxification that our modern world have brought so much mundane things that makes the soul of the people to be dragged down and forget who they are. By becoming so attached to what is Trending, people want to be noticed by becoming Viral that they have to neglect who they Truly are and instead they have to feed the Public satisfaction and do what they want and not what the persons need. Such as on my self as a Vlogger, people does not fully watch my content and only spend 30 seconds to a minute or more just to say they have watched it and then moved on another video from different content creator.

I have talked about this to Lakay, and he have suggested that I should create videos that people wanted to see. Well, as I response, If that is so Vlogging is not a tool in developing your own personal creativity if you develop creativity basing on the desires of the people who watch you. With that sense of thinking, many people act as other people want to see in them and our natural self is deprived to develop. Many people are still slave of the system of being hooked into what is new and trending and have overlooked the things what are essential. But in my vlogging activity, it is not my Goal to Entertain but rather to Teach. And one of it is that we as an Individual must Go back within our self as we have been a slave for a long time. And for us as a Filipino for almost 174 Years (which happens on November 21, 1841 that a Spanish Governor General of the Philippines have enacted the Surname decree) We are wearing an Identity of the one who have colonized and enslaved us.

Up to this day, many of our Filipino Brothers and Sisters in Diaspora still bear the Mark of Colonization wherever they are in the world and it seems everyone of us are shouting with Pride that we are Colonized by still bearing the name that has given to us. But are we not ashamed from our South East Asian Siblings, when they go to Western Countries they may adopt western name but still maintain their Asian Names. Such as the Owner of Shoe Mart or SM which we know as Henry Sy but his real name is Sy Chi Sheng; and another Business Tycoon who owns Philippine Air Line which we know as Lucio Tan, his real name is Tan En Chai.

Through this the Shrine of Luntiang Aghama is offering a Path towards Liberation, a means to cut off our selves from the terror of the past and a Blessings from our Indigenous Ancestors by having our own Filipino name through Bansagan Ritual of Tala Tanda.

This ritual will happen on June 12, 2023 by 9:00 AM Philipine Time and it is also available in the US and Canada by June 11, 2023 by 9:00 PM EST.

This ritual will be grace by a Binabaylan of the Celestial Lights in Canada who is the SiAdTalang Binabaylan Tulay Araw/ Dayang Tala Pinagpalang Saksi which one of our Official Pangutanahan/ Magaanito in Canada. Dayang Pinagpala aka Jen Maramba will serve as our Witness and Godmother (ninang) in this Bansagan process which will be a birthing to the new name that will received by our Participants. This naming ceremony ritual will also serve as a gateway on becoming a Honorary Member of the Shrine thus everyone that will participate in this ritual may receive the Honorary Title of Gat. Which is the basic honorific title of membership in the Shrine. Together with this a Name Certificate will be issued as an evidence of conducting this ritual that you may also use as a Legal Documents in presenting your name.
