What a Great Start for us in welcoming the “Ber” months and bidding good bye to August on a Super Blue Full Moon. Since August started with a Super Full Moon and it ended up with Super Amazing Experiences.

On the month of August, we were able to travel alone going to the United States of America specifically in Chicago, Illinois. We experience to queue and fall in a long line for the Baggage Check in and for immigration before departing the Philippines. Since I am riding Korean Air, we need to stop over to South Korea for 5 hours before riding our Connecting plane to O’hare International Airport in Chicago,Illinois. The stop over in South Korea was my first time, so I take the opportunity to experience Korea even just in the airport. The Video below is my experience in Incheon International Airport.

Even though I just roam around the Airport still it is in South Korea. I found its international airport wonderful so how much more if we could really tour around South Korea outside its airport. I hope there is a Good Soul that will invite us and Sponsor us in South Korea that we could Weave Peace there and do some Rituals or even Hilot Binabaylan Training. There you Go, I already have mentioned that we are open for invitation to visit your country, wherever you are in the world as long as you will sponsor us. Because if it’s only on my own, the Shrine still has no capacity in sending us to far away places. And this travel that I made was sponsored by the Correllian Nativist Tradition and the Sacred Order of Paladin, which I am eternally grateful for the experience.

While in America, we have done our important mission in going there and that is to sing the name of our Diwata and give their blessings that have come to attend the New Moon Ritual that happened on the night of August 15, 2023 by 8:00 PM Eastern Standard Time at Mc Cormick Place Convention Center near Lake Michigan at Chicago, Illinois. And the video below is the part where we sing the name of Bathala and give the blessings to the people.

I believe you have seen this already if you are following my Blog and it was an awesome experience as I didn’t realize that this Ritual was participated by a Huge number of people. I was just focusing on the center table which is our altar and also to the energies of my fellow Ritualist. But as I see on some news article website, I am so surprised that the ritual participants were Huge. It is unbelievable that I was not shaken that day of stage fright as I get nervous every time if I perform, teach in front of many people whether in person or online. But this one was Amazing as I know our Anito, Diwata and Engkanto are with me that the blind folded me so that I may only look at the Altar and not look around so that I will not be Shaken. And another thing that gives me comfort and Confidence is that our Soul Sister Maria Haswell was with me in doing the Ritual. So I am very happy that we were able to serve these flock of people that gather around us and participate in our Ritual.

And prior to the Ritual my soul sister Maria Haswell fetch me to have a Galavanting moment in Downtown Chicago and rode a cruise in Chicago River that orient me to the History of Chicago Architecture. It was so nice that I found a restaurant serving Filipino Food and thanks to Ate Cathy from Jefferson Park for bringing the Taste of the Philippines at Downtown Chicago for everyone to Taste the Philippine Food which is so Great! I really enjoy my stay in Chicago even for a Short while and had opportunity to pray in special places in Chicago and do peace weaving to its people.

And when I arrived home, Lakay Magbaya picked me up at Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 1 and went straight to Bahay SiAdTala where I rest for a day before heading back here to our Shrine. I really feel so bad that Lakas was not able to come and experience what I had experience in the US but no worries, he was updated on every move that i take while in Chicago as he said, i will have no story to tell when I come back home. But since, I am talkative, I still have stories to tell specially those things that I have in the corners of my mind and my emotions that I feel when I am traveling.

As I settle back home, I do live video through The Order of Peace Weaver which you can watch below.

And lastly as we welcome the 1st day of September, we did a Bansagan Talatanda Naming Ceremony to Filipino’s in Canada, California as well as in Australia which you can listen to witness as well below.

And on the night of September 1st, 2023- Me, Lakay and Patrick Lawrence gathered online for our monthly Ritual Aralan in Honoring the Anitong Sayum- ay and Manggat of the Buhid Mangyan Tribe of which we are going to create a separate post to add at the Virtual Temple of the Diwata.
