[ work & story sharing _ from Zeus Bascon ]
I drew Sampaluk-sampalukan /Sampasampalukan. It is a medicinal plant my mother had to consume as suggested by an 86yo healer from Nueva Ecija. He was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer with only 5 years to live, but with his practice of herbal healing and his spirit guides, he lives up to today.
My mother has to boil the plant and drink it from may29-june11 while a black candle is lit. The black candle i think was supposed to connect the healer (and his spirit guardians) to my mom for the rituals or prayers. This night i just heard them talking on the phone, talking about how my mother will be cured soon, just drink the extract and do not move the candle.

我畫了 Sampaluk-sampalukan / Sampasampalukan，這種藥用植物。因為我母親前陣子採用了 86 歲治療師 Nueva Ecija 的建議食用。治療師曾經被診斷出患有第3期癌症，而且只能活 5 年，但他的草藥治療和精神導師讓他持續活到了今天。
媽媽先前在5月29日至6月11日這段期間，煮沸藥草飲用同時，點燃黑色蠟燭。我認為黑蠟燭應該是作為一種祈禱儀式的連結，將治療師 (和他的精神守護者) 與我媽媽聯繫在一起。今天晚上我剛好聽到他們在電話裡聊天，說媽媽很快就會痊癒，只需要喝提取物就好，不要移動蠟燭。
