MYSTICAL: Witches Island (Siquijor)

For centuries, the tiny Philippine island of Siquijor has been shrouded in legend. It says the island rose from the sea covered in mist and lightning. And it’s since become home to generations of healers, witches, and dark magic practitioners. Whether the island’s powers are rooted in ancient herbal wisdom, genuine supernatural forces, or something in between, one thing is agreed upon: Siquijor is not like anywhere else.
