Warriors & Magicians: Origins, History, and Culture of Combat in the Philippines

This trilogy takes us on a journey of esoteric discovery and transformation (from within). We follow the path of warrior magicians through a process of initiation, activation, and integration. The first installment of the 'Warriors & Magicians" trilogy is an initiation into the esoteric world of martial arts through the martial culture of Filipino Warriors of yesterday and today. We trace their historical, cultural, and spiritual evolution to identify the layers of beliefs and knowledge contained within the ancestral narrative of warriors and shamans. This is the first step in an initiation process: Imagination and then image in action.

This book is written in the form of a Kōan with the purpose of creating ruptures and questioning to open up the realm of possibilities and promote a dynamic of positive transformation.
