Maria Makiling

Description

Another product of summer induced boredom....

This time: Maria Makiling, in Philippine mythology, is said to be a diwata, which roughly translated means fairy or goddess. She is said to inhabit Mount Makiling in Laguna province and protects the mountain from those who would harm or defile it. She allows people to come and go as long as they don't harm the plants or animals and she forbids them to take anything from the mountain. Any who do are sure to invoke her wrath.

Lovely, reminds me of some of Beardsley's work!
