In the realm of sleep, Fu Dalu, the spirit of the abaca, visits those weavers who remain true to the traditional way of life. He gives them the gift of seeing patterns that they will weave and grants them the inspiration to make truly special t’nalak cloth. Those who deviate from tradition, however, are not so blessed: the spirit of the abaca will surely bypass them.
