Hathor motif: a sun disk between cow horns, drawn in the style of an Egyptian relief

Nine figures from the traditional lore of peoples of the Philippines, each with one neutral line.

Please read first. These figures come from the traditional lore of Indigenous and local peoples of the Philippines, whose traditions are still alive. The site names them respectfully and does not retell the stories or speak for any community. Some descriptions rest on older outside records (such as Plasencia in 1589, Cole in 1916 and Jocano in 1969) and can differ between communities; the cards say so where a description is less settled. The Seven Hathors are the site owner’s own reimagined presences and are kept apart.
