Tanikala Spirit Connector is a fusion of Filipino Indigenous Culture that can be seen in different Ethnic Tribes in the Philippines that is Generally known as Tau-Tau. In the Cordillera Administrative Region among the Igorot Tribes, this curved image is known as Bulul; while in Southern Philippines specially among the Mandaya and Mansaka Tribe, they have Manaug.
Bululs are usually believed to protect rice crops from pest and ensure a good harvest. Thus, having one will attract abundance, good luck, prosperity and wealth. The bulul is also used as Ancestral Spirit Representation which people could talk to their deceased Ancestors.
Whereas the Manaug which sometimes called as Manang, its not only the Mandaya or Mansaka used it but also mostly of the Lumads in Mindanao such as the Ata, Bagobo,B’laan, Higaunon, Dibabawon, Subanen, Tagakaolo, Kulaman, and Mamanwa. It is believed that Manang is used to restore good health of the person (whether be it Physically, Mentally, Emotionally, Socially and Spiritually).
Thus, Tanikala Spirit Connector does these all in protecting those who keep it from all negative energies that may alter the flow of luck in their life. And if you are Nabansagan or have received your Indigenous Filipino Name through Bansagan Talatanda Naming Ceremony on which you will know the Name of the Filipino Diwata that guides you, Tanikala is the best tool to represent your Diwata.
