Dear steemian,
Today I will post again about the mythology of aceh that is "burong tujoh"
Aceh has many stories and legends that live in the daily life of the community that is told from generation to generation, there are various ethnic groups and languages here that gave birth to various forms of stories ranging from historical facts of the story of the struggle of the people to myth.
The term Burong Tujoh itself is derived from the word "Burong" meaning kuntilanak in general, usually called Burong is described to the type of ghost who laugh or cry alone in the darkness of night, sometimes also described as a ghost of women who like to call menunggu ride to those who bring vehicles alone. Including jinn who likes to disturb children, forest jinns, ghosts of the house and graves.
Some other sources say that, the term Burong Tujoh is a term to the genie or ghost sent by a shaman to attack someone. And the word "Tujoh" which means seven is not known for certain, there is an opinion which says that the title of Tujoh is defined in large numbers, indeed in most cases shamans usually sending "mails" will usually send more than one, if one of the items has been sent lose then the shaman will send another jin. There is also a saying that the genie is seven people, maybe this is the most common reason why there are seven additions in the term.
Another opinion says the term Tujoh comes from a mystical process undertaken by the owner Burong Tujohitu himself, where rumored people who want to control Burong Tujoh this must dig seven graves.
Summoning Burong Tujoh and magic Told from mouth to mouth by elderly people in Aceh that actually Burong Tujoh is a collection of denied genie, they are ordered or forced by the shaman to do the job desired by the shaman in a willing or unwilling condition
This is all related to the process of worshiping a demon or a king of jinns in a place where a person who wants to control this Tujoh Burong will usually steal water baths, dig a fresh grave to pick up some parts or organs of the dead, all of which are done as a gift offering to a demon or the evil djinni of a territory, the offering is given in order to please the demons or the king of the jinns before finally asking the devil a group of his men to help whatever the interests of his worshiper.
And if the devil is a devil, he will command his subordinates (in some cases called prisoners or his colonies) to serve the devotee, who if they do not want to do so they will be tortured by his king. And this is why the jin Burong Tujoh is said to be a group of jinn who were forced to work for a shaman by the jinn.
But it seems that what is said about Burong Tujoh is true, because I myself have witnessed in a procession Ruqyah (Exorcism), where there are many jinns that enter the body of someone who said that they do not want to commit this crime, but their bodies are bound and they must finish his mission or will be tortured by roasting it on fire.
There are also jinn who plead with peruqyah to better be killed rather than fail and must return where they will be whipped and tortured very cruelly by their king.
They are forced to make someone sick or insane and even kill is not their own will but the wishes of the shaman, their bodies are chained and unable to escape, even in some cases their families are held captive so they can not resist.
But there are also some Burong Tujoh jinns who are happy to do evil work without being forced.
Told also that those who have the magic of Burong Tujoh will usually be seen from their daily lives where they never seen bathing, or if they bathe usually with dirty water or water comberan, they are not salvatory, do not visit the person who died and did not approach the mosque , another feature is that they never wash after urination or large water.
The point is they avoid all the guidance in religion, well the owner of magic burongTujoh this also varies in power depending on how powerful the devil king who adored, some of them can be immune to bacok or bulletproof until someone is able to menyantet people sekampung.
The magic caused by Burong Tujoh is varied, from the smallest such as sending itching, to making others hate like separating husband and wife, making people unable to marry for life, making a person's business go bankrupt, dooming to kill a person others even massively.
Reportedly also usually those who have knowledge Burong Tujoh this time when the death will occur many peculiarities, such as difficult sakaratul death even though his body has begun to rot, usually must first whipped by kelor leaf (Oen Murong, Aceh language) and open the roof of the house where he lies in order to make it easier for him to die, even after death usually the earth will refuse his body.
Terrible of course! Okey sekian from this post thanks :)
