Alongside meaning a muse or goddess (or any guiding light) that inspires artistically, paraluman is also an ancient Tagalog word that stands for “magnetic needle”— something that guides your way, similar to a compass.
May your guiding light or paraluman inspire and move you to create, make meaning, and find joy in artistic ways.
