Witchy Filipino Creators

Does anyone know any witchy filipino creators (especially YouTubers)? It's like everywhere I look, it's either American or UK witches. I want to incorporate doing witchy-adjacent things, and I figured watching witchy videos in the background while studying for exams could be a thing. I already got Witch of Wonderlust, Chaotic Witch Aunt, and Alwyn Oak in my rotation but in fear of becoming "too westernised" I kind of want to see more of witches that are from the Philippines

Urge to dance after offering?

I've started to notice that after I give offerings to Dionysus, I get a strong urge to dance and literally just start dancing?? Like this doesn't happen every time I give an offering (though happening more recently), but when it does, it's like an insane urge to dance, even without music, I'd start singing broken lyrics. I'm not even a dance-y type person.

Like this morning, I offered him moon water and kababayan (soft and dense sweet bread) and literally just started dancing. And the night before, I offered cinnamon incense and had to resist the urge to dance to finish the fig incense holder I was making HIM.

It's like the feeling of restlessness where you know your body is supposed to be doing something, your feet tingles wanting to be pressed on the ground, but somehow your heart is so light?

This is so strange. This doesn't happen always, I've only started worship less than a month ago. What could this mean?

Regarding Palo Santo

So I recently bought a bunch of incense as a set and it included Palo Santo, and im not really sure if I can use it. From what I read Palo Santo is still being debated whether or not it's part of a closed practice, and I can't determine if I can use it depending on my situation.

For context: I am not white, I am Filipino and do live in the Philippines. We have a tree called Palo Santo (Triplaris cumingiana) here but it's not the same as the Holy Wood (Bursera graveolens), so don't get it twisted. Anyways, Palo Santo is used here a lot, like for repelling bugs or when I was still Catholic, they'd sometimes put Palo Santo for incense (maybe that was just my specific church) instead of the usual guyabano leaves or frankinscense. I was exposed to it a lot but this is like the first time I would actually use it personally. There are like Filipino witches who use it and there are also those who don't use it like I'm so confusedd

What can I do with my Palo Santo incense? Huhuhu like I don't want to throw it away but at the same time I can't let it sit in the shelf collecting dust because that's also wasteful

Bought my witchy stuff irl instead of online

I usually buy herbs or other witchy ingredients, as well as candles and stuff online BC tbh I was just scared to brave the local palengke (it's a farmer's market, mine's quite large and it's really easy to get lost in it, like literally get lost) but today I decided to brave the storm (my classes also ended early so I figured that if I get lost, I'd have a couple of hours to find my way back) anyways I got all these for 366 PHP (5.6USD), and it's mostly the candles that made it like that, the herbs are like 56PHP (0.91USD) which is quite a deal BC buying them online is slightly more expensive because of the multiple shipping fees. Definitely gonna start buying them in person now. Hehe just thought this was neat!
