A short, practical guide to Philippine animism--how to rediscover an embodied relationship with the living world and each other Kapwa who you are is inseparable from, and owed to, the living world around you. Psychologist and Sikodiwa author Carl Lorenz Cervantes offers a contemporary manual to Philippine animism, bridging Indigenous wisdom, psychology, and cultural roots. Climbing the Sacred Mountain's psychospiritual model and practical animist toolkit help us awaken to the wonder, awe, and enchantment that exists all around us, if we know where (and how) to look. Cervantes guides us to rediscover an aliveness and reciprocity with nature: the living, breathing world that each of us is connected to, and to which each of us belongs. Part cultural exploration, part spiritual map, this book reintroduces animism as a mostly neglected part of our commonsense. This book shares the Philippine spiritual landscape of Kalibutan (the physical world) and Kabila (the other side), inviting us into a worldview shaped by engagement with and permeability between the human and more-than-human worlds. Cervantes offers:
- A deeply practical applied animist toolkit that includes rituals for divination, pilgrimage, meditation, offerings, and more
Drawing on concepts like kapwa (shared identity), loob (interiority), and ginhawa (wellbeing), Cervantes explores how our personhood is inextricably connected with the world around us--and provides hope, grounding, and reenchantment to all of us seeking a sense of belonging and connection in an isolated and increasingly sterile world.
