Betel nuts are a popular chewable stimulant in many parts of Asia. They are typically wrapped in a betel leaf with lime paste and other ingredients, and chewed for their stimulating and euphoric effects. Betel nuts are also used in some traditional medicines and religious ceremonies.

Just What Was Wan Smoking?

I suspect, for the most part, Wan was smoking cheroots.

Cheroots are filterless cylindrical cigars, easy to hand roll and clipped at both ends.

In Thailand, they were traditionally rolled in banana leaves and as well as tobacco, the leaves of the Indian cork tree were often added, along with the flowers sometimes for fragrance.

Things like molasses, honey, rice wine, pineapple and banana were often used to sweeten the mixture.

Sometimes cannabis could be added, which was historically used for pain relief in Thailand.

It seems like Wan relies on smoking these as a way to manage his mental health issues, like many smokers, who reach for a cigarette when they are stressed, we often see him smoking when he is feeling disturbed.

We can see from the film that Khem seems very comfortable with the act of stealing but we only ever see him steal or think about stealing, cheroots on Wan's behalf.

He even splashes out on expensive imported "cigarettes," as a gift for Wan which his friend is clearly touched by. That recognition from Khem, that these are important for Wan.

It's as if he recognises that they are something Wan needs, we never see Khem smoke himself although they were both clearly fans of betel chewing before they were forbidden to do so in ManSuang.

Hence their black teeth.

Betel nut is a stimulant and many people describe the act of chewing betel as giving them a bit of a high. It is certainly addictive but was also a standard part of socialising for a very long time in several parts of Southeast Asia and India.

As Khem and Wan are forbidden from chewing betel while they stay at ManSuang, it is likely that they both would have experienced some withdrawal symptoms and this probably made Wan rely on the cheroots even more.

Cheroots originated in India along with beedies which historically were made from leftover scraps of tobacco and rolled into leaves.

Cheroot smoking was very traditional both in India and Myanmar.

January 12, 2024!

For people of Odisha, nothing is more important than Lord Jagannath. And this could be seen in my neighborhood when all the residents gathered for welcoming the Srimandira Parikrama Arpana Ratha. We drew rangoli, and prepared offerings of arua chaula (white rice) and gua (betel nut). We had to wait for hours before the chariot could reach us, but it didn't dampen our excitement. Isn't that the whole purpose of special occasions, festivals and rituals? To bring people together, strengthen the community ties and celebrate the life!

Shreemandira Parikrama or Heritage Corridor will be 75 m corridor around the Meghanada Pacheri of Jagannath Temple, Puri. Yajna, anukra ropana and formal inauguration ceremony of the project would be held on 17th January, 2024. Arpana Raths are visiting door to door and collecting donations of Akshat (rice) and betel nuts from the people, which will be sent to Puri for the yajna and rituals.

fire burn, & cauldron bubble.

Bottles clinked from behind the slightly-ajar door of Moonspell Apothecary's basement. A fire burned merrily in the clay cookstove, illuminating the room in its flickering orange light. The room was lined with shelves and worktables, filled with various large jars of bizarre contents. Some were easily identifiable herbs, others... not so much. Gnarled roots here, amanita caps there.

At the alchemy table, a slender woman worked in an apron and well-worn house shoes. Her hair was pulled back into a bun, and several of her trusty sun-charged stones were laid out on the table before her. She looked briefly to the small cauldron and watched the steam rise, listening for a moment to hear if it had begun to bubble.

Not yet... but soon. She had to hurry.

She turned back to her work, her hands reaching for the centrepiece stone. It was a beautiful fire opal. Each facet beneath the polished, smooth surface glimmered brightly, as if they were dancing flames. Her fingers closed around it for a moment, feeling its warmth and weight in her palm. The stone was smaller than most of its kind, almost swallowed entirely within her hand.

Elsinore closed her eyes, exhaling softly as she stood before the table, focusing. She'd gotten good at this part, feeling the stone's heat pass through her hand, and her magic reaching back out to meet it. She felt them unify, a surge jolting through her body, and began to speak under her breath. The spell was ancient as time, but the words still held their power.

"Ignitum lapidem, redde draconi vitale suum."

It began to glow, light bursting forth to cast the room in its brilliant rays, and the vampire smiled triumphantly, opening her eyes. She kept them squinted against the brightness, moving to drop the stone into the cauldron; the water had begun to boil. Once it lay beneath the surface of the water, she opened her eyes fully and ran for her ingredients.

She returned once she had them, muttering under her breath.

"Acorn," in it dropped, once she'd ground it into a fine powder.

"Adderstongue., and alkanet." She'd used these whole, but dried; both the stems and pretty flowers.

She stopped to stir it with a small wooden paddle, watching as the water begun to darken, and the rays of the stone became murky. No dimmer, but obscured as the herbs boiled. After a moment she added dried, crushed apple, watching the powder dissipate into the mixture.

After thirty minutes, it was time to add balsam fir, three clusters of the spiky, densely packed needles. A sprig of basil, an ear of barley. A bay leaf, unicorn's blood, betel nut powder, and finally four dried dandelion flowers. She stirred again, beginning a second incantation.

"Sana spiritum, seda animam. Depelle aegram, antiquam renova."

Her brow creased, hands splayed over the brew as she moved them to and fro, sparks shooting from her palms and hissing as they passed through the surface of the potion. The glowed beneath the liquid and then died.

She had one last step, before it was complete. It was the most important part. She thought for a moment, before choosing how it should taste.

"Turn this dark potion fine; like the darkest, decadent red wine." Red it turned, darkening until the opal's light slipped from the stone and into the potion, making it glow. Removing the cauldron from the heat, she waited a moment before straining and transferring it by funnel into a tall, slender glass bottle. The red depths shimmered like velvet, even in the darkness of the lab. Elsinore smiled wickedly, clasping the warm bottle in her hands.

She must deliver it tonight. It was at its most potent once it had fully cooled.

Jhilmil supari

Jhilmil Supari is a popular Indian mouth freshener that combines the crunch of betel nut (supari) with a sugary, colorful coating. Known for its sweet taste and vibrant appearance, Jhilmil Supari is often consumed after meals to freshen the breath and aid digestion. It is especially popular during social gatherings, festivals, and as a treat for guests. The name "Jhilmil" refers to its glimmering, glossy, and visually appealing coating, making it a favorite among children and adults alike.

What is Jhilmil Supari? Jhilmil Supari is made from small pieces of betel nut, which are coated with sugar, often flavored with natural or artificial essences, and sometimes sprinkled with edible silver or food-grade colors. The betel nut pieces are crunchy, and the sugary coating adds sweetness and a polished finish that enhances its appearance and taste. It often includes other ingredients like fennel seeds, cardamom, and aromatic spices, all of which contribute to its refreshing flavor.

Key Ingredients in Jhilmil Supari

Supari (Betel Nut): The core ingredient, supari, provides the crunchy texture. Betel nut is traditionally used in Indian culture for its digestive and mildly stimulating properties.

Sugar Coating: Jhilmil Supari is typically coated with a layer of sugar that gives it a sweet taste and a shiny appearance. The sugar enhances the flavor of the betel nut, making it more enjoyable to chew.

Edible Colors and Silver: To give it its distinctive "jhilmil" (glimmering) look, the supari is often coated with edible colors and occasionally with a dusting of edible silver foil (varak), adding a festive and visually appealing touch.

Fennel Seeds and Cardamom: Often mixed with fennel seeds and cardamom, these ingredients enhance the digestive properties and offer a fresh, aromatic flavor that lingers in the mouth.

Flavoring Agents: Jhilmil Supari may also include natural or artificial flavorings like rose, mint, or other fruit essences to add a variety of flavors and cater to different taste preferences.

Benefits of Jhilmil Supari

Mouth Freshener: One of the primary uses of Jhilmil Supari is as a mouth freshener. The sweet flavor, combined with the aromatic spices, leaves a refreshing aftertaste, making it an ideal post-meal treat.

Aids Digestion: The betel nut and spices like fennel and cardamom in Jhilmil Supari help in promoting digestion. It stimulates the digestive enzymes and reduces bloating or indigestion after meals.

Festive and Social Delight: The colorful and shiny appearance of Jhilmil Supari makes it a popular choice for serving guests during festivals, weddings, and special occasions. It’s often part of the traditional paan-daan or served in small bowls at the end of a meal.

Quick Energy Boost: Betel nut, being mildly stimulating, can provide a small boost of energy. While Jhilmil Supari is primarily enjoyed for its taste and freshness, the stimulating effects of betel nut can help in feeling alert and energized.

Cultural Tradition: Jhilmil Supari holds cultural significance in India and is often associated with hospitality. Offering supari after a meal is a gesture of respect and tradition in many Indian households.

How to Use Jhilmil Supari Jhilmil Supari is best enjoyed in small quantities after meals as a mouth freshener. It is commonly kept on the dining table or in a paan-daan (traditional container for mouth fresheners) and can be served to guests. Due to its sweet and crunchy texture, Jhilmil Supari is also a favorite treat for children, who enjoy its candy-like appearance and taste.

Is Jhilmil Supari Safe? While Jhilmil Supari is enjoyed by many, it’s important to consume it in moderation. Betel nut contains certain alkaloids that can have stimulating effects when consumed in large amounts. Some health experts advise caution with frequent consumption of betel nut due to its potential health risks, especially if it contains tobacco (which Jhilmil Supari usually does not). Always check the ingredients if you are buying packaged Jhilmil Supari.

Conclusion Jhilmil Supari is a delicious and colorful mouth freshener that combines tradition, taste, and a dash of sweetness. Its appealing look and refreshing flavor make it a popular choice for post-meal enjoyment, especially during social and festive gatherings. While it can be consumed occasionally as a treat, it’s best to enjoy Jhilmil Supari in moderation to balance both flavor and health benefits. Whether you serve it to guests or keep it at home as a sweet mouth freshener, Jhilmil Supari is sure to add a sparkling touch to your meals!

Diwali 2024: Complete Guide to Lakshmi Puja Muhurat and Rituals for Home and Office

Diwali, the festival of lights, is one of the most widely celebrated festivals in India. It symbolizes the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. Central to this celebration is the worship of Goddess Lakshmi, the deity of wealth, fortune, and prosperity. Performing the Lakshmi Puja during Diwali with devotion and following the proper rituals is believed to invite divine blessings for prosperity and peace. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to perform the Lakshmi Puja for Diwali 2024, both at home and in the office, along with the ideal muhurat (auspicious time) to conduct the puja.

Lakshmi Puja Muhurat for Diwali 2024

The muhurat, or the specific auspicious time for performing Lakshmi Puja during Diwali, holds great importance. In 2024, the Diwali festival falls on November 1st. The Lakshmi Puja should be performed during the Pradosh Kaal, which is approximately two hours after sunset. This year, the Pradosh Kaal is expected to start from 6:10 PM to 8:10 PM (IST). Additionally, the best time within the Pradosh Kaal is known as the Sthir Lagna, which is considered highly auspicious for invoking Goddess Lakshmi as it ensures stability and long-lasting prosperity.

For those unable to perform the puja during this period, the Nishita Kaal (midnight) can also be considered auspicious.

Step-By-Step Guide to Perform Lakshmi Puja at Home

Cleaning the Home: Begin with thorough cleaning of your home. It is believed that Goddess Lakshmi resides where there is cleanliness. Ensure all corners of the house are free from clutter, and decorate the entrance with rangoli or colorful designs.

Creating a Puja Space: Set up a clean and sacred area for the puja. Place an image or idol of Goddess Lakshmi along with Lord Ganesha on a raised platform. Place kalash (water-filled pot) near the idols as a symbol of prosperity.

Offerings for Lakshmi Puja: Keep all the puja items ready, including:

Flowers (especially marigold or lotus)

Betel leaves and betel nuts

Rice, turmeric, and kumkum

Sweets like laddoos or kheer

Diya (oil lamps), incense sticks, and camphor

Silver coins and new account books (if performing the puja for your business)

Performing the Puja:

Light the lamps and incense sticks to purify the atmosphere.

Begin with a Ganesh Puja, as Lord Ganesha is invoked first to remove all obstacles.

Offer flowers, rice, and sweets to Goddess Lakshmi while chanting mantras like the “Lakshmi Gayatri Mantra” or the “Shree Suktam.”

Perform the Lakshmi Aarti with utmost devotion.

Offering Naivedya: Offer prasad or sweets prepared for the puja as naivedya to the Goddess. This food offering symbolizes gratitude for the blessings received.

Distribution of Prasad: Once the puja is completed, distribute the prasad among family members, symbolizing the sharing of divine blessings. Don’t forget to place diyas around your home, especially near the entrance, to invite positivity and prosperity into your household.

Step-By-Step Guide for Lakshmi Puja in the Office

Preparation: Clean the office space and ensure it is clutter-free. Decorate the office with flowers and Diwali-themed decor such as rangolis and diyas.

Setting Up the Puja Area: Select a quiet and clean area for the puja. Place the idol of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha on a small platform. Arrange for the necessary puja items.

Puja Process:

Just as you begin the home puja with Ganesh Puja, do the same in the office.

Offer flowers, betel leaves, and sweets to Goddess Lakshmi while chanting prayers.

Conduct the Aarti and distribute the prasad among all employees. Some offices also perform the puja with new account books or gadgets to bless the business with growth and wealth.

Lighting Diyas: Finally, light up the office with diyas and candles. It not only adds to the festive vibe but also spreads positivity across the workplace.

Concluding the Puja

After the Lakshmi Puja, it is customary to leave at least one diya burning overnight to welcome Goddess Lakshmi into your home or office. Maintaining an environment of peace, joy, and cleanliness is essential during Diwali to sustain the blessings of wealth and prosperity throughout the year.

Why Lakshmi Puja is Performed During Diwali

Lakshmi Puja is performed on the third day of Diwali, also known as the Amavasya or the new moon night. This night is believed to be the most auspicious for worshipping Goddess Lakshmi as she descends to the earth to bless her devotees. The lighting of diyas signifies driving away darkness and ignorance and welcoming wealth, knowledge, and prosperity.

Complete Car Puja Kit for Auspicious Vehicle Blessings

In many cultures, the act of blessing a new vehicle, commonly known as a car puja, holds immense significance. This ritual is particularly prominent in Hindu traditions, where it symbolizes seeking divine protection and blessings for safety, prosperity, and a trouble-free experience with the vehicle. A complete car puja kit is essential for performing this ceremony correctly, ensuring that every step of the ritual is carried out with reverence and precision.

Understanding the Importance of Car Puja

The car puja is more than just a ceremonial act; it is a spiritual practice that imbues the vehicle with positive energy. This tradition stems from the belief that every new venture, including the acquisition of a vehicle, should start with the blessings of the divine. By performing a car puja, owners express gratitude and seek protection from accidents, breakdowns, and other mishaps. This ceremony also serves as a reminder to drive responsibly and respect the rules of the road.

Components of a Complete Car Puja Kit

A complete car puja kit contains various items, each with its symbolic significance. Here’s a detailed look at what you’ll find in a standard kit:

Step-by-Step Guide to Performing Car Puja

Performing a car puja involves several steps, each with its specific prayers and offerings. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you conduct the ceremony:

Preparation: Clean the vehicle thoroughly, both inside and out. Arrange all the items from the puja kit neatly. Set up a small altar with the idols or pictures of the deities on the hood or dashboard of the car.

Uncovering the Seven Tribes of Bukidnon and their Traditions

The province of Bukidnon has a rich history and strong culture that is still reflected in its identity today. One of these lasting practices is the Kaamulan Festival, where the seven tribes of Bukidnon gather for special occasions. These tribes are crucial to the province even today. Their individual views shaped Bukidnon into what it is today.

An Overview of the 7 Tribes of Bukidnon

So, what are the seven tribes of Bukidnon? These tribes are the seven distinct indigenous groups that reside in the province. Though they have various beliefs and practices, they all contributed to the land and influenced it into how the Bukidnon is seen today. These tribes have remained the same for centuries despite outside influences and changes.

Here is a closer look into the seven tribes of Bukidnon:

Talaandig Tribe

One of the province's seven tribes can be found in the municipalities surrounding Kitanglad Mountain is the Talaandig Tribe. Active members are often described as the active members of this group who still continue to preserve and promote their culture in the face of modernized changes.

This tribe strongly believes in the existence of the High God, Magbabaya, and other spirits who protect nature. They often engage in various rituals and dances that connect to aspects of their daily lives, including hunting, harvesting, and farming. These rituals are often their prayers to the spirit for protection and blessings in all of their daily activities.

One of the most crucial practices these tribes uphold is their courtship rituals, as marriage is the most significant basis of their kin.

Higaunon Tribe

Another one of the seven tribes is a nomadic group that travels to different areas of the mountainous region for more fertile lands and better harvests. The Higaunon Tribe’s name directly translates to “people of the wilderness,” defining their practices and livelihood. The Higaunons stand out because they have lighter skin complexions than other tribes.

The Higaunons are considered to be the least known group to reside in north-central Mindanao. Their political system revolves around a datu, who leads different groups led by their own minor datus, which is similar to 2nd commanding representatives. Marriage in Higaunon society is mainly arranged by the parents, which is considered to be long and tedious.

Tigwahanon Tribe

This tribal group is found throughout the municipality of San Fernando. The Tighawanon Tribe has garnered its name from the Tigwa River, where they commonly inhabit its banks and watersheds. Because the tribe commonly lives near the river, it makes a living by fishing and hunting local wildlife.

Every tribe member sees each other as equals, to the point that even unborn family members are given equal rights with adults, reflecting their deep value to human life.

Umayamnon Tribe

An indigenous that resides along the Umayam River is the Umayamnon Tribe. They are described as proud and reserved people, and their fierceness is regarded as warlike to an extent. They are an almost secluded group who are wary of strangers. They also stand out as they dyed their teeth black by chewing on betel nuts frequently.

Moreover, its members are excellent at crafting bead jewelry, which is locally called ginakit and inboy. These bead jewelry pieces are designed and segregated by the tribe member’s gender.

Manobo Tribe

One of the most populated of the seven tribes of Bukidnon is the Manobo Tribe. This tribe is widely distributed across the land and has adapted to various ecological niches, from coastal terrains to mountain ranges.

The leadership structure of this tribe revolves around highly skilled and socially important individuals. Potential leaders can also build up their following through marriage. While the tribe has a bilateral relationship, the majority of important decision-making and leadership roles go towards men, while the women hold a subordinated position in their society.

Matisalug Tribe

This tribe in Bukidnon resides in the Tigwa-Salug Valley and has a deep connection to the Salug River. The Matisalug Tribe got its name from its roots in this specific river. In the past, the tribe made a living by staying close to the river. Most of their lifestyle revolved around hunting and gathering. In recent years, their approach has slowly shifted to land cultivation.

They are often considered to be a subgroup of the Manobo group. However, they are distinct enough to be considered their own. They are also an expressive group as they display brightly colored outfits. They also show their local music, dances, and spiritual expressions in keeping their culture alive with them.

Bukidnon Tribe

Another ethnic group located in North Central Mindanao is the Bukidnon Tribe. They descended from a tribe that once resided in the coastal areas that are now known as the province of Misamis Oriental. These tribes depend on food gathering and swidden agriculture for their livelihood. Their people are described as having light brown complexions with black hair.

Bukidnons are very expressive with their artistic culture, which usually involves dancing, poetry, and music. They are also creative as they practice mat weaving and basketry. The tribes make their instruments with natural materials, the main one being bamboo.

Preservation and Promotion of Indigenous Cultures

Today, public and government efforts are being made to preserve and promote the tribes’ culture and protect them from urbanization. Many local communities have implemented several strategies for documenting both digital and physical proof of these tribes' influences.

One of these strategies involves documentation projects in recording these tribes and their daily livelihood. Other ideal approaches involve displaying these tribal items in museums and promoting them to public attention. Multiple traveling agencies also include exploring or learning about these indigenous tribes in their Bukidnon tour packages.

Final Thoughts

The seven tribes of Bukidnon, with their different religious and social practices, all played a part in shaping the province. It is with their cultural diversity that Bukidnon is a lively place that displays their own practices, which are directly influenced by these groups. Preserving their existence and traditions helps keep the province’s identity alive and true to its roots.
