"Anting-Anting Stories, and Other Strange Tales of the Filipinos" by Sargent Kayme is a collection of tales written in the early 20th century. This work presents a vivid depiction of Filipino life, culture, and folklore, encapsulated within various narratives that explore themes of magic, ritual, and human experience. Through a series of stories, it is likely that readers will encounter various characters, including native Filipinos, American military personnel, and supernatural elements, all woven into the rich tapestry of the Philippines' unique characteristics and traditions. The opening of the collection introduces the idea of "anting-anting," a powerful charm believed to protect its holder, serving as a central theme in the stories to come. It begins with a scene set during a battle between American forces and Tagalog natives, depicting the aftermath, where a mysterious native searches among the dead for the anting-anting of a chief. This sets off a sequence of events that intertwine fate, superstition, and personal motives, paving the way for intrigue and exploration of deeper themes relating to cultural beliefs and the supernatural dynamics of the time. The stage is set for a journey through strange tales that promise to blend history with mythology, offering readers an insight into a world filled with wonder and enigma.
