Snapshots

Santigwar is actually a Bicolano term which I cannot really translate to Tagalog or English. But in my own words, it is a way of healing a person who may have maladies because of what supernatural beings did to them.

This is one 'equipment' that healers use. The healer and his/her assistant would hold this. Each would let one of the loops of the scissors hang on their finger. The healer would ask a question and if the whole contraption moves, it means something. I have forgotten if a move means a yes and not moving means no. Or if it was the other way around.
