The Mythical Protectors Of The Philippines - BBC

Western materialists may pride themselves on being akin to Star Trek's Vulcans, logical and immune to base superstition, but are they accomplishing enough for the good of the planet? Perhaps flexibility is in order considering Arnel Murga's treatise upon filipino beliefs and folklore as an asset for protecting the islands's critical biodiversity. Perhaps disbelief is cause for the decline of werewolves in the west, as Karl Shuker reminisces upon Cynocephali And Other Dog-Headed Denizens Of Legends And Lore. Karl has examples from all the corners of the globe, along with a few lexical explanations as to the origin of these trans-species entities. If you like tall tales like these, Tobias Wayland continues pursuing the questionable title "Herodotus of the 21st century" with a Woman Reporting 2002 Sighitng Of "Gargoyle" With Feathered Wings In Babcock, Wisconsin. Eighteen years ago. Wow, that's almost yesterday. And let's not forget there's only a first-person anecdotal account and nothing else. (CS)
