Enkanto

Enkanto are beautiful enchanted spirits in Philippine folklore, dwelling in nature (trees, rivers, mountains) and living in a parallel realm. They enchant humans with love or visions, sometimes abducting them, or curse those who damage their homes with illness or misfortune. Enkanto embody the spiritual presence in the environment and the consequences of disrespecting nature. In modern tales, they represent mystery, allure, and the unseen world, blending indigenous beliefs with contemporary interpretations in Philippine tradition.
