UNTIL now, Ferdinand Blumentritt’s 1895 DICCIONARIO MITOLÓGICO DE FILIPINAS had never seen a proper English language release.
THIS EDITION INCLUDES
Spanish and English entries.
19 illustrations
59 historical photographs.
Blumentritt’s Enthnographic Map.
Blumentritt’s Ethnographic Map has been recreated into sections, with corresponding numbers to his Philippine Tribes and Languages entry.
Blumentritt’s Philippine Tribes and Languages.
“Many authors, ancient and modern, native and foreign, have been preoccupied with ‘primitive’ religion, or even better said, the paganism of the Natives of the Philippines; however, their writings about the religion of the natives, non-Christianized or from the mountains, who until now keep their ancient practices, are always reduced to form a chapter indistinct from the other historical or ethnographic notes of their published works. There exists no work, [major] or minor, dedicated specifically and especially to the study of the religion of all the indigenous races of the Philippine Archipelago.
The purpose of this DICTIONARY is to put together the religious groups of the Philippines, and removing those of Christian or Mohammedan origins. This work will provide an opportunity to make comparative studies and give an idea of the wealth of names that are in the mythologies of this country.”
”This effort means to create an accurate interpretation with proper translations of the original release and to convey the intent proposed by Blumentritt. My hope is that this undertaking creates a turn of the twentieth century historical benchmark and further contributes to research efforts on Philippine mythology and folklore so that people may learn more about, what I believe to be, one of the most fascinating collection of pantheons and religious traditions in the world.”

Jordan Clark is a Canadian born descendant of Scottish immigrants living on the homelands of the Lekwungen speaking peoples. His interest in Philippine myth and folklore began in 2004. Finding it difficult to track down resources on the topic, he founded The Aswang Project in 2006. Shortly after, he embarked on a 5 year journey, along with producing partner Cheryl Anne del Rosario, to make the 2011 feature length documentary THE ASWANG PHENOMENON – an exploration of the aswang myth and its effects on Philippine society. In 2015 he directed “The Creatures of Philippine Mythology” web-series, which features 3 folkloric beings from the Philippines – the TIKBALANG, KAPRE and BAKUNAWA. Episodes are available to watch on YouTube. Jordan recently oversaw the editing for the English language release of Ferdinand Blumentritt’s DICCIONARIO MITOLÓGICO DE FILIPINAS (Dictionary of Philippine Mythology) and is working on two more releases with fellow creators scheduled for release later this year. When his nose isn’t in a book, he spends time with his amazing Filipina wife of 20 years and their smart and wonderful teenaged daughter.
