in ancient astrology every year a new planet would be in charge of your birthchart, known as the lord of the years astrologers would use it for yearly horoscopes

i talk a lot about cat as jinn but in the classical lore foxes are actually also linked to jinn and it’s likely because of the playful personality of foxes and their uncanny cunning

Buddhism is making inroad into the Dayak community of Indonesia, a community that's mostly 60% Christian and 30+% Muslim worldwide.
"About 5,000 Buddhists of the Dayak Halong Tribe are scattered in nine villages in Halong District. However, in various corners of the village there are still many people who are not registered and do not have an adequate place of worship."
Theravadin Buddhists are making inroad attempts in many parts of Indonesia. Just look at how remote this place is on 2nd image (red highlighted area).
Most likely Indonesian Buddhists are attempting to build more temples and centres in the remote villages.
It is especially remarkably seeing that neighboring Malaysia also has larger Dayak community (2.1 mil vs 1.9 mil) but Malaysian Buddhist has never attempted to conduct missionary work among the indigenous people (despite having larger resources).
In missionary zeal, Indonesian Buddhism is definitely the future and role model.
