Dao'es is a traditional Igorot rite of cleansing, more often done when someone comes home or passes through a village with a heavy burden [e.g. illness, death].
A village elderly is called to offer wine or water and chicken to the gods and spirits and seeks their blessings of good health, forgiveness, good voyage or whatever the present situation calls for. However, variations in purpose and ritual elements can be seen from one village to another. [Watch related videos from WaltWide.]

Life is endless. My soul travels from one realm to another. When the flesh dies, my soul is reborn into a new dimension; and while the breadth of life is infinite, my humanity is bound by my earthliness. The treasures of my journey are therefore held deep in the recesses of my mind and soul, the rest are blogged.
