The Visayan Creation Myth

Maguayan, brother of sky god Kaptan.
Greetings. I am Le Fou. I travel far and wide around the world, collecting stories, legends, folk tales, and myths to entertain people with. Storytelling has always been a passion for me. Every person has a story to tell. The question is, can they tell it well enough to gain and maintain the attention of everyone else? Well, if they don’t, the Traveling Fool will do make it interesting for them. Let us start with one of the creation myths that should be familiar to those living in the southern region of the Philippines. I myself after all, was born and raised in the lovely little island of Cebu. Sa ni-adtong panahon*… There was no land,no sun, nor moon, nor stars and the world was only a great sea of water, above which stretched the vast and empty sky. There...

    FYI , Maguayen or Magwayen is a female god. she's responsible for taking the soul of the dead, and guide them to the "sulad" (Visayan afterlife or heaven), which is the sea..

      Hello Akopito,

      LeFou says you are correct, but that there are many myths involving Maguayan and Kaptan. She is aware of the ones in which Maguayan is a female, or in some cases even married to Kaptan. She believes this story is more interesting, however, and chose to feature it.

      Cheers,

    Hey: thanks for taking the time of composing up this data. I constantly endeavor to even further my idea of issues. Even if I consent or disagree, I really like knowledge. I do not forget the previous times when the only supply of information was the library or even the newspaper. They each seem to be so old fashion. Please excuse my bad writing : )
