daligmata

"Fast vision." A personal spirit helper. The enigmatic spirit assists the medium's own personal spirits in locating the "abducted" soul of a severely sick person during the gudguden ceremony.

Among the Visayans it is said to be a rare herb that enables one to see witches and who by virtue of it can be invisible.1
