Duwende is a unique dwarf-like being from the Pilipino floklore...
Nuno has a wide range of goblin-like counterparts throughout the world...
The actual size of the nuno is disputed.
Some claim that it is invisible to the human eye, while others claim it is about the size of a small insect.
Its appearance is that of an old man.
The word "nuno" is also how old relatives or great-grandparents are referred to in certain dialects...
The nuno lives in an anthill called a punso.
It will harm those who disturb or damage its punso.
If someone were to trample or kick the nuno's home, the offender's foot would swell.
Nuno sa punso are also found in other places, such as under large rocks or trees, along riverbanks, inside caves, or even people's backyards.
Nuno sa Punso is usually peaceful and wants to be left alone, undisturbed...
Little does everyone know that Philippine nuno sa punso also follow a color code that determines their personality.
White dwendes are kind, red dwendes give protection amulets, green ones play with the kids and black ones can give nothing but trouble to those that they bother....
CAUTION:
Messing with a Duwende results in very severe, bad consequences such as vomiting blood, painful swellings in the offending body part, or causing thick hair to grow on the offending body part, and/or urinating black liquid...
These curses may last but a few minutes, or for the rest of your life.
Some of the elder agree that a simple “tabi, tabi, po” will be enough to reverse the curse.
Other countermeasures m\y include:
A simple ceremony called tawasin which a piece of a candle is melted on a disc or spoon.
Once melted, the wax is poured into water.
An image will appear in the wax, either that of a nuno or of a certain place or situation.
The practioner (albularyo) will interpret the image to determine the possible cause of the sickness.
In order to be cured, the victim's family will provide an offering to the nuno such as fruit or other food, drinks, or material goods.
If the victim is still not cured, it may be necessary to personally ask the nuno's forgiveness.
