He’s studied many of the indigenous traditions of the Philippines and greater Pacific, with nearly three decades of research and experience. He’s the author of "Filipino Tattoos Ancient to Modern" and "The Forgotten Children of Maui: Filipino Myths, Tattoos, and Rituals of a Demigod." He’s also been a contributing writer to "Back from the Crocodile's Belly: Philippine Babaylan Studies and the Struggle for Indigenous Memory" and "Shamanic Transformations: True Stories of the Moment of Awakening," as well as several articles for various magazines and journals. In this conversation, we cover traditional cultural tattoo, animism, shamanism, mythology, origin stories, similarities between not just the Philippines, but many of the islands and cultures within and around the Pacific, cultural restoration, and several other threads that we stitch into the fabric of our dialogue. *** TIMESTAMPS: [3:35] Lane open the conversation with a Filipino prayer [6:25] How did Lane get started on this path?
