Happy Dracones Monday! Lunar Eclipse!

In Phillippino mythology, there were once seven moons in the sky. A great serpent from the sea, Bakunawa, ate six of them, but luckily the people of the Phillippines bashed pots and pans to disturb the dragon before she could eat the final moon. Every now and again, she will try to eat the final moon - as revenge for a lover being killed, as revenge for her sister a giant sea turtle being killed, or because she's angry at the gods or simply because she is an eater of moons.

This Dracones Monday coincides with a Lunar Eclipse on the 25th of March, when Bakunawa will try to eat the moon again, so have the pots and pans ready!!!

In my project, Dracones Mundi, the Pacific Sea Serpent eats dragons that fly over the sea. The dramatic leaps from the water used to catch airborn prey are awe-inspiring and, for all intents and purposes, look like a gigantic sea serpent flinging it's way upwards to eat the sky itself - for this reason the scientific name for the Pacific Sea Serpent is Mareserpens lunaphagous, the moon-eating sea serpent, in honour of Bakunawa.

Bakunawa the moon Eater

𝕬𝖓𝕶𝖆𝖑𝖆𝖛𝖊𝖒𝖇𝖊𝖗 30

Bakunawa are said to be Massive oceanic dragons that reside near the Philipines, and were the blame of many meteorological phenomena in the area. so significant was its movements that the people used it to map and carve out a geomantic calendar, and were the center of many rituals preformed by babaylan priestess's. even purported and readily believed to have entire islands form their spines moving ecosystems and communities of people around the sea.

many differing myths and legends revolved around the tremendous creature, some say the the supreme deity created many moons in the sky, these celestial body's enraptured the great serpent with its tremendous strength it would erupt from the sea devouring them whole, in a desperate bid to save the night sky the ancient Filipinos would go out their homes and through any means, create a great cacophony of sound to ward of this vast creature. inversely they would play soothing sounds to try and lull it into a hypnotic state in which some would trying to find some kind of to this existential threat to their people, with varying success.

Moonhammer

No pretentious loretext this time. I designed this meteor-hammer belt thing a while back based on the Bakunawa, the moon-eater serpent. The look of the maw is based in part on Visayan tenegre hilts, and the moon and star are based on my uh- Idk what to call it, a brand logo I guess?

I was going to get it made for myself, then I remembered I'm not actually trained to use a meteor hammer, so-

"Lovestruck gods"

Bit of a story, so Dagon met Bakunawa in the pacific ocean and they soon became mates after, Bakunawa left Earth to travel moons after moons but she promised she will be back. And when she came back with Dagon nowhere to be seen, she found him dead in Philippines and created massive destruction all over the land because she blames herself for leaving him, she suffered depression after and hid herself and hibernates deep inside of the Philippine trench

Oh god my writing suck ass-
