The story of a living Golden Cow that reside in the mountain was orally told to me by my grandmother.
There was an abandoned mine in the mountain near our village. The old folks told us that is was dug during the last World War II by the Japanese. Further away from the mine in father elevated portion of the mountain overlooking the minefield, there was a humongous cave. Our ancestor told us that there is a golden cow that dwell in that cave. They said that this animal is a property of Tamawo, a superhuman being.
But after the war the dwelling of the Golden Cow was moved to the old mine site.
The villagers had seen it inside the tunnel gnawing the skeleton that belongs to a human.
Some brave men ventured to trap the golden cow but they all failed for it was elusive and banished after sensing the scent of humans.
One day a mystic shaman arrived in our village. He told the villager that he will perform a ritual on the mine site to purged and drove away the Golden Cow because its occurrence near the village caused diseases and ailments upon the residents.
The man laid a trap made of fresh blood of a pig he bought at the market. It was placed inside a sturdy bamboo cage. The Golden Cow was lured by the scent of the blood. It entered into the trap and drink the blood. Then the shaman closed the cage.
The cow attacked the cage but it was sturdy. Then the shaman threw larges chunks of decaying meat into the cow which it devoured hungrily. Later the meat poisoned the cow.
Then the Golden cow melted and the golden matter settled on the ground and become a gleaming boulder of rock. Then the shaman collected large boulder of golden rock to be sold to the refinery of a gold mine operating in the area.
But one villager went to a police station to report that their newly buried dead on the yard of his house was missing.

Hungry Giant snatched Island Hunter's Catch.
In one of the islands of Rapu-rapu group of island, we encountered this giant primate. The said island was uninhabited by man but monkeys, deer and warthogs were abundant.We rode a sailboat called batil in going to that island which is four hours travel on slow moving cargo sailboat called batil. This boat was made of hardwood with outrigger made of bamboo poles and has sail made of canvass. I inherited this boat from my grandfather.We carried food provision good for one week consumption. We also carried rifles with telescopic site. We carried sacks of salts in order to preserved our catch.
On the first day we killed a dozen warthogs.At the beach that night, we salted the meat of the animals and hung it on a single tree. We feasted on the meat that night by grilling it on fire. We knew that the aroma of the grilled meat wafted throughout the island. We also drank wine as we feasted that night.
At midnight as were about to sleep in each of our hammocks that were attached to the trees, we heard the rushing of the trees and we heard loud stumps on the ground. We became attentive and we prepared our guns pointing it at the source of the sound.
Then suddenly a hairy giant emerged from the dark confines of the woods. It was taller than a coconut tree so out of fear we hid among the bushes. Then the giant saw the raw meat that was hung on the tree. He grabbed it and devoured it right away. After he finished eating the whole carcass of a warthog he grabbed another two carcass and then left the tree. He was going after the burning bonfire by the beach. It kicked deluge of sand on the bonfire before heading back again toward the forest.
What we had seen was a giant gorilla that we thought that never existed on the island.
Early at dawn we sailed toward home.

Slave soul, elemental demon guard Shaman's house from Intruder
In our village there is a stone house owned by a shaman. This person can cure ailments and infliction. He can also perform sorcery if someone can afford his prescribed fee. He lives alone in his house and when he goes out of town he simply left his door and windows open. He knew that no one will dare to come and enter his house for he had placed an unseen guards inside in it.
One of the guards is the soul of a person whose skull was kept by the shaman. Another guard is a nature demon from the mountain. Nobody dared to step inside his house. One time a thief ransacked it but this person was found crippled in front of his door- unable to stand and walked away from the scene, so he was caught.
But one time his grandson from nearby village visited him. The shaman was not there. The child has no knowledge about the guards of the house of his grandfather. Upon entering it the unseen guardians assaulted the child and made him crippled.
The shaman was out and away at that day. The next day he found his grandson on the verged of dying for he has fever and had been vomiting the whole night because of pain. His parents was not bothered to look for him for they knew he was in the care of his grandfather.
After that incident, the shaman terminated the unseen guards of his house.

Acquiring mystical force of Angels, Demons and nature spirits by offerings and challenge
My uncle happened to observed two venomous snake fighting with each other. One of them was defeated and so it retreated away from the scene gasping for breathe and was wounded all over its body. My uncle followed it and to his surprised the bloodied snake chomped a certain kind of weed that was so rare in our place. Then it became active again. The weeds become the potent anti-venom herbal cure of my uncle.

A certain bird called kukok that dwell in the forest is the favorite pet of nature's giant demon. If you want to acquire the power of this giant, searched the nest of this bird in the forest. Once you find it, crippled the chicks by fracturing its bones on the wings and legs but let it live. The next day you visit the nest and if you found the chicks are alive and cured, crippled it again. On the third time the giant demon will appear and picked you. He will then threw you in the air for many times but you should not show your fear. After that, because of your bravery and courage, he will grant your wish if you wished to have power like that of his.
From the tales of my shaman grandfather, retold.
Fallen angels who become Tamawo and lived on Earth in the outer dimension of our real world can give you also power by befriending them. These entities love music and dancing. One way of connecting with them is to serenade a tree where they dwell. They will appear to you and that will be the sign of their acceptance to the friendship and communication you offered. But caution should be observed in dealing with them. Never ever eat their food no matter how appetizing it was. Once you have eaten, your soul will be trapped in their dimension and you can't return to your real world in complete personality. Your body can go home and have normal activities, but your mind was blank.

Soul Caretaker and guide needed in Sorcery affirmation
If a client of a sorcerer wished his victim to die through sorcery, the sorcerer will asked him if he is willing to take care the soul of the victim. The sorcerer will then explain to him that the person to be killed through his ritual will leave a wandering soul because of the untimely death of his body. If there will be no caretaker, the person will not die but only suffer crippling illness for many years.
Once you affirmed that you ordered the sorcerer to kill and you are responsible to his soul, then prospected victim will die from sorcery.
What happened to the soul of the victim?
The shaman believed that it will cling to the soul of the one who ordered to kill and not to the sorcerer for he was just an instrument of the ritual.
But does this belief applicable to mass murder like, all out bombing? This is the one I asked to the shaman.
The shaman explained to me that in every soul perished, an opposite will be revenged on the same race, same ideology and system of society.
This is what I feared if this belief is really true. The karmic load of killing is a cosmic rule that transgress between two dimension, that of the soul and the body.
Remember the Hiroshima bombing, the Nazi Holocaust, communism ideology, and others.
If nuclear bombing victims' soul cling all to the race of the perpetrator in one single point of time, as their soul wandering cycle will be ending, U.S. will be deluged with deaths, so as Germany, China and other countries who done inhuman act to his fellowmen.
