Journal Title: Asian Journal Social Sciences & Humanities - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
The spell language of Javanese people can independently be interpreted as a method or idea—as an affirmation to certain purpose—stated with words. It is considered to have magical power and is created as a breakthrough to cease problems in life as well. The result of the research toward Javanese’s spell language describes that the spells are special chain of words, dominated by Javanese language arranged in such a way in self-suggestive affirmation types. Javanese’s spell has 3 types or structure: ideal, arbitrary and unstable. The ideal structure of Javanese’s spell is made of: head, body and foot. Spell structure is ‘wrapped’ by mystique, magical, mythological, sound, diction and images formula. Javanese’s spell for its users is an area or ‘sacred room, holy room’ which is personal in nature and full of philosophical meaning. The mystery of laku (ritual procedure) in spell ritual is psyches or emotion as well as cognitive game, created purposively to achieve meditative level. At least there are 28 kinds of Javanese’s spell according to its function.
