Luntiang Aghama evolves since the time we were established as we start only as an online common interest group on the Subject of Psychism and powers of the mind that lead us to engage deeply on Magick and Mystery Religion. By 2010, our focus was shifted again to look back on Philippine Indigenous Spirituality that we legally incorporate our Shrine as Luntiang Aghama Natural Divine Arts Shrine of Healing Inc. I have to admit, at that time, I am not proficient nor an expert on Magick not like my contemporaries who could evoke spirits our of their gained knowledge through studies. And during those time, what I am only holding up to is my personal knowledge of the Traditional Filipino Science and Art of Healing which is known as Hilot. From our knowledge of Traditional Indigenous Medicine, it lead us to dig deeper on our own Culture and Tradition specially on the Field of our very own spiritual beliefs and practices.
Indeed there were no records of Ancient Shrines nor Temples that could be restored nor reconstruct, but there were object that was remained such as the bulol of ifugao that were very significant for us to hold on to as it is a proof of faith from our Ancestors prior to the conversion to Christianity. And amazingly it has been preserved so that people of this present Generation may still enjoy the blessings it brings for everyone.
Luntiang Aghama are benefiting from the remnants that our Ancestors have left unto us that as a Religious Orgainization that been legally incorporated in the Philippines do take initiative to preserve in bringing back the old glory of Philippine Indigenous Spirituality by making its practices and beliefs known in this present generation through our Public Online Rituals, Seminar, Workshop and Trainings.
Colonialism has over ridden our Identity as Filipino, that it make us forget who we are before Spaniards have colonized us. It make us forget our own writing system, our Spiritual Beliefs, our Clothing, Food, Color and even our name. Even the architecture of our own houses were designed after the Western Pattern and even on our Skin Color, the western culture brought by colonialism has been inflicted upon us. This is why Skin Whitening product are rampant this days as it promotes white skin color is better than brown nor black skin.
Our work here in Luntiang Aghama is not promoting a new trend or introducing a new religion, but what we do is revive and formally construct the temple of Diwata that was supposedly established 100 years ago by our Revolutionist but was disregarded due to the coming of the Americans in our Country.
