[ 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.
