My name is Adrenia and I am a 20 year old Animist following the beliefs and tradition's of my ancestors from the Philippines that still are alive today through the local tribes remaining throughout the islands that haven't been influenced throughout the years. I currently live in New York physically but my heart and kaluluwa (soul) lives in the Philippines. I have been a practicing Pagan for 10 years, a Wiccan for 7 years before embracing my culture's native indigenous and tribal beliefs.
I am in love with the Philippines fauna, flora, landscapes, my culture, and the indigenous. I hope to one day work to protect these things I love from endangerment and through this simple blog I hope to bring awareness to the richness of life that is found in my ancestors homeland.
This blog is dedicated to my spiritual path, my culture, it's fauna and flora, the indigenous, and my life revolving around them.

Song of the Babaylan
(Lyrics and melody by Lissa G. Romero)
I have been waiting for you
Outside of time
In the forest of your dreams
You have heard my voice on the wind
Calling you back home
To the warmth of my embrace
I have heard the beating of your heart
Yearning for a love
Deeper than the sea
I am in the silence of your Soul
Hear my love come home
Like waves on your shore
When you meet the Other in your Self
Feel your heart unfold
To take in the Sun
Let this Love break the walls within
And pour into the world
The balm that heals all wounds
I have heard the beating of your heart
Yearning for a love
Deeper than the sea
I am in the silence of your Soul
Hear my love come home
Like waves on your shore
