I was born Rolando Gomez Comon. The name was taken from my Father who is Rolando Dolar Comon. I am a Taurean born on the 10th of May 1978 Year of the Earth Horse. I am the Second Child from the Four (4) Siblings of Rolando and Raquel Comon and was the Only Son to my Father’s House. I was raised by my Parents and Relatives as a Devout Catholic as everyone in the Clan was a Devout Catholic.
As a young boy, I always wanted to become a priest someday. At early age, I was inclined to the world of the spirits and religion. I remember when I was in the fourth grade; I entered a church brotherhood of the Knights of the Holy Eucharist. I served as “Sakristan” or priest assistant during the mass.
At the same time, my aunt and uncle who is a native of Surigao Del Norte (my Father’s Siblings) and also a member of indigenous tribe of Manobo, introduce me to folk beliefs of superstition and magick. That was the first time I had interest in magick and native Spirituality.
At an early age, I have collected a lot of talisman and amulets which can be bought at the parking lot beside the church. I read books of Herbs and practice Herbalism when I was 10 years old. I usually collected leaves and climb tree’s to talk to nature spirits.
One day, there was a gathering in our house. All of my relatives from both side were present at the gathering. And all of my cousins was there too. I am a natural loner and didn’t mingle with them. I climb the hill in front of our house and stay there. (Our house was located at the foot of a Hill, and our City was Called San Jose Del Monte because of it’s location on the top of a hill). As I Climbed up in the Afternoon, I noticed the moon that was in her peak. I was a Full Moon. As I step up, the moon gets bigger and bigger. As I reached the top of the Hill, the Moon became so huge that it frightens me. I had fear that the moon may eat me. So I run down at the foot of the hill. Reaching the ground I was stumbled down by a rock and bruised my self. As I look down to my feet I noticed something buried down and its feet hanging up to the ground. I dig down the ground and found a Puppy. When I touched the puppy, I was shocked that it moved alive and run away from me. It was dead but as I touched it became alive. I don’t know if it is a delusion or reality that up to know as I recall it can’t find it to be real or not. But from that time, I started to look to the moon believing that the moon will grant me some special power like healing and making miracle of life.
At the Age of 13, during my freshmen days in high school I joined the Cadet Officer Candidacy Course. It was a Military Training for High School Students. During the sophomore year, I was promoted as 2nd Lieutenant. I was assigned to handle new applicants for new candidate as Cadet Officer’s. After the training initiation, a new cadette pay a visit to my house. She was Caddette Paglinawan. She told me that she had like to share something interesting that I will like. I let her in and told me that she want me to listen and become enlightened. In short, she Shared to me the Gospel of Christ.
I entertain her and as a religious, I thought it will benefit me and turn me closer to God. Because that time, I really believe that God was and is the Source of all Power. I’ve been converted to her Religion as a Bible Baptist Believer. Love Joy Paglinawan became my Spiritual Mentor and a Mother to my Faith. I grew bolder and radical when it comes to the Bible Baptist Doctrine. That I turn all my Amulets, Talisman, and Holy Book of Prayers and “Oraciones” to the Chirch to be Burned. July 16, 1992 I was baptized as a Bible Baptist Believer.
The Church found me Zealous to my Faith that they ordained me as a Sunday School Teacher for the Youth and was given a Bible Study Assignment to a nearby town of Norzagaray, Bulacan.
I became like a Junior Pastor of the Church that they let me Handle a Mission House and Preaching Session at Norzagaray, Bulacan. This faith Continue until when I was Senior Graduating Student of High School.
When I am at College in 1995, I fell away from the Baptist Church because of misunderstanding. My Pastor wants me to go to the Theological School while my Parents want me to go to a Regular College School. I follow the will of my Parents and have my Degree taken at the University. I enrolled in Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in Social Studies.
I was out of the Church and didn’t attend any Christian Services. I became a Freethinker and liberally entertain any faith. But as a Freethinker, I just accept what is acceptable and reject what is not. Having liberally entertained sectarian doctrine, my longing to know God grew more to me.
On 1997, my family was able to have an internet access. My search on spirituality gave me a wide range view. I found in the net Messianic Judaism which in my point of view was near to the doctrine of Christ. I just attended meetings and Sabbath only 3 times. Then I researched on the importance of Sabbath and found another religion that follows Sabbatical Observance, i.e. Wicca.
1998 was an important year for me, I joined a Community Oriented Organization which is called KAPANALIG or “Kabataang Nagkakaisa Laban sa Ipinagbabawal Na Gamot” or in English “United Youth Organization against illegal Drugs”. I spend much time on that organization that I was elected as a Municipal Federation Secretary and Provincial Coordinator for the province of Bulacan. The Organization was under the Supervision of Department of National Defense and Department of Interior and Local Government. Later it was handled by the Office of the Vice Mayor under the San Jose Del Monte Anti Drug Abuse Council.
I was able to interact with the Out-of-School Youth and some delinquents who have been hooked into Drugs. I was also able to facilitate Seminar’s and Workshop on Moral Values Orientation and Leadership Training.
On that Organization, I met people of the same interest in Spirituality. It just like a Magnet that attracts follower of the same beliefs. During the night’s of a live-in 3 days workshop. I had an Underground talk about the Craft and Magick, that after the KAPANALIG workshop’s we formed our own group which we first called Blessed Circle of the Almighty. That was on October 30, 1998.
I created an online Yahoo Club named Luntian. I choose the name Luntian which means green signifying the Color of Mother Earth. Luntian became a pilot organization under the Countries category in the Philippines then from Luntian gave birth to Luntiang Aghama. It was first a study group of eclectic practices of witchcraft that until March 6, 2007 the group has been affiliated to the Correllian Nativist Tradition.
I am an Alternative Medicine Practitioner and a Natural Health Care Provider and a Continuing Student of Social Studies at New Era University. I currently work as a Body Care Therapist of Fitness First. And give my Spiritual Counseling Service free of charge to anyone who needs it.
