Bab 743: Pefile's Suggestion, The Connection Between Kaptan and Magwayen

Day 154 - 10:15 PM - Mountain Area, Municipality of Badian, Province of Cebu

With Pefile suddenly joining into the conversation, the attention became focused on him.

As a Tamawo, it would not be surprising if Pefile mentioned Magwayen, the Visayan Goddess of the Sea and the supposed creator of their race. However, he said her name at this time. It meant that he might hold some clues or information about her.

It would be crucial at this time since if they could find Magwayen, they would likely find clues about Kaptan.

***

In Visayan Myths, the God of the Sky, Kaptan, and the Goddess of the Sea, Magwayen, were connected in different ways.

The two gods were said to be counterparts. One ruled the bright sky while the other ruled the dark deep oceans. The two were also believed to have contradicting personalities. These things led to the belief in the existence of the two to maintain balance in early Visayan faiths.
