<p><u><strong>EPISODE 7: STOP RIGHT NOW, THANK YOU FAIRY MUCH | The Engkanto</strong></u></p> <p>Join us this episode as we lift the veil off the secret world of the Engkanto. They are known for their other-worldly beauty, their love for unsalted white rice, and their endless conquest for human hearts.</p> <p>What do Chris Hemsworth, George Clooney and Edward Cullen have in common? How do you successfully fend off unwanted magical suitors? And why is everyone wasting so much rice?</p> <p>---</p> <p>Corrections: Elrond is, indeed, half-elven. Both of his parents, Eärendil and Elwing, were half-elven, having both Men and Elves as ancestors.</p> <p>---</p> <p>The Gods Must Be Crazy is a podcast on Philippine Mythology.
