There are still many secret practices amongst the Javanese
folks being followed secretly today. Not many people will have the opportunity
to hear of these secretive practices but I will share some of them that I have
heard or learnt from my friends:
·
The secret of old lady’s ring finger nails
o
In order to make one’s face shine and look
beautiful, collect some finger nails taken from an old lady’s ring finger on
Thursday night. After that take a flower bath and arrange the nail cuttings on
the part of one’s face where he/she desired to change. One should lie down and
leave the nails on one’s face for about 20 minutes and then keep the nails in a
pouch.
o
This magic only works for one week or six months
or the most.
o
When the magic has expired, bury the nails under
a large tree.
·
To make one’s face shine
o
Prepare 5 or 7 types of flower and a lime.
o
After that dip those items into a ceramic
container filled with rain water.
o
Wash one’s face and use the lime to rub against
one’s face.
o
One’s face is said to look more brilliant after
the simple ritual.
o
Try it before you are to attend an important
function, but be careful so that the lime juice doesn’t enter your eyes.
·
The head changing ritual
o
If one is not satisfied with one’s face, and
desired a better facial feature; then he/she can draw the head of the person
he/she wanted to be most as close as possible. Perhaps today, we can just cut
down photo of a movie super star…
o
Before one goes to bed, meditate on the face
he/she desires and then paste the picture on his/her left chest; somewhere
above one’s heart.
o
After that go to bed.
o
The magic is said to have taken effect when one
sees his/her face being changed by spirits.
·
The heart changing ritual
o
The Javanese believe that beauty comes from
inner wisdom and having a good heart. So, in order to make a person to change
his/her character in a relatively short time; a heart changing ritual is a must…
o
The ritual is simple, just draw the symbol of a
heart and write what one want to change and paste the heart on his/her left
chest above his/her heart.
o
If the works, then the person’s friends will
notice a change with that person…
o
The ritual can also be used on disobedient child
too.
Well, that’s what I have for now. If you have more rituals,
then you’re welcomed to share them here too!
