Magickal Oils Of Indonesian Shamanism Part 1
By Leonard
Introduction
Almost every shamanic and pagan culture has its own collection of oilsused for occult and magickal purposes. In this article we will describea few of these "minyak" (as oils are called in the Indonesian/Malayantongue) to be found in the Indonesian archipelago. This is an on-goingproject and we may update this article whenever we possess additionalinformation regarding the subject.
There are many oils used for occult purposes; we may divide them intotwo categories: the ordinary ones, and the extraordinary ones. Forinstance, Zafarron, Misik, and Gaharu oils as used for anointing andwriting sigils, seals, kameas, wefeqs, etc., are the "ordinary" ones.Below we will describe the more extraordinary and unusual types ofmagical oils. We are not able to personally vouch for the truth of thevirtues of any of these oils, or in some cases disinclined to. Theirdescriptions and use are given merely for the sake of informationpurposes. It should also be noted that most of these oils are rare anddifficult to acquire.

Minyak Hadangan
For centuries this potent minyak is considered as the king of loveoils. Not only is it used for romantic affairs by men and women, it isalso often utilized as an occult media for improving one's business,warding-off black and protection against negative energies.
This oil is said to be derived from a rare buffalo-species only to befound in the depths of the southern and eastern Kalimantan (Borneo)forest, especially in the locale of Muara Payang, Muara Kumam, in theregency area of Grogot. In the tribal language of the natives, thePasir people, Hadangan means "buffalo."
These Hadangan buffaloes are wild and aggressive, and exists not ingreat amounts in the jungles and forests. The oil is acquired when theanimal is already dead and in a state of decomposition. For occultreasons it is forbidden to kill this mammal for their fluid extracts.While the dead body of this animal is decaying, it oozes a certainliquid which is the Hadangan oil. Because of the scarcity of thisbuffalo, the oil extract is a rare curio. Only certain brave villagersof the Pasir tribe who are daring enough to make the trip to the forestand willing to spend days there are able to acquire this oil.
The Pasir tribes are well-known for their black magic. Visitors abusingprivileges and acting arrogantly often find themselves subsequentlysuffering from maladies, and in extreme cases even death. The Pasirpeople normally apply the Hadangan oil to capture, tame and domesticatethe wild buffaloes. Their method of calling forth these animals is toadd a few drops of the oil to their tracks, and not long after, asthough by magic, the bellowing creatures would appear. The buffaloesare then tamed and enchanted by dabbing extra oil onto their hides.Under the influence of the magical fluid, the buffaloes follow thehunters willingly. During the trip back to the village, the eyes andears of the buffaloes are purposefully covered by mud and cloths by theenchanter so that the creatures do not feel threatened by the presenceof other human beings. Seeing humans and hearing their voicesprematurely would infuriate them and they would start attacking allbystanders. The buffaloes only feel safe with their captors.
During the early days of the discovery of the oil, when used solely tofascinate buffaloes, teenagers began wondering of the possibility ofits application in other matters considered important--such as inamorous affairs! They reasoned that if buffaloes were to follow itsenchanter with the help of the oil, the opposite sex would surely havea similar reaction when applied on them. After a period ofexperimentation they discovered that their assumption was indeed true.
Above we stated that this oil was taken from the corpse of the Hadanganbuffalo and that they are not permitted to be slaughtered for occultreasons. This could be an excuse, however, made by the Pasir people fortheir own veiled motives. Certain other sources inform us that theseanimals are killed for this very purpose and that it is possible toextract the oil by boiling the body parts and organs of the buffalo forseveral hours in an earthen pot until the oil is released. It is saidthis should be done in the forest with no one around and aware of theoperation. Before boiling, a mantra has to be recited in the triballanguage of the Pasir people:
"Lakung bikat lalu laut pisang sulu <br>
Sisi rampung uyat bikat <br>
Ina tinggang puluk ulu"
The method of use of the Hadangan oil in love spells is to dab a littleof it to any part of the body of the unsuspecting subject that onewishes to attract using only the right ring-finger. Before dabbing, theabove mantra has to be silently chanted and then the oil on the fingeris to be blown upon with the breath that has been magically influencedby the mantra. After being smeared with this oil the subject would havethe user constantly in her thoughts and would strive as much aspossible to be near the magical operator even if prior to its use thesubject was aloof and inattentive. Most love oils are applied in asimilar manner.
Minyak Bintang
This oil is one of the most mysterious. It originates with the DayakBenuaq and Tujung tribes of Kalimantan. In their dialect they call itOlaau Bintaakng, "Minyak Bintang," or "Star-oil." This fluid canproperly be said to be the "elixir of life" as it possessesrejuvenating properties that not only quickens sickly or sluggishbodies, but also has the power, as it is claimed, to revive the dead.Star-oil works in conjunction with certain inner-strength training andpowers, which in Indonesian occult circles are called Ilmu Kedigdayaanor Tenaga Dalam. In China these are referred to as Chi Kung.Individuals who have mastered the use of the Star-oil and unfoldedtheir inner strength are believed to be able to quicken their bodieswith a new vital life force and awaken themselves from the death-state.
In bygone days, while war was still common among the tribes inKalimantan and even in other parts of Indonesia, there was thiscompetitive search among the warrior caste for occult objects andpsycho-physical training that would confer upon their possessors andpractitioners invulnerability against weapons and supernormal strength,so as to provide an extra advantage over enemies. The ancient tribesbelieved that war should be won at any cost and if it could be donecheaply and swiftly with magick, it would be adopted. This line ofreasoning seems to have their supporters in contemporary governmentsdoing research into PSI-War technology.
To return from our digression, however, certain tribes of the Dayakseventually came up with a most powerful creation that gave them avirtue beyond their wildest dream: Olaau Bintaakng. This was thepinnacle of their ilmu, or occult knowledge and only a few people wereable to master it. Those who had this oil and its power were usuallyuninterested in acquiring other forms of Ilmu Kedigdayaan. The oilwould also have certain psychological effects on their minds andalchemically transmuting personal characteristics such as cowardiceinto bravery. The fear of death is here mitigated by the power of theoil.
The Star-oil is manufactured by the shamans of the tribe and because ofthe difficulty in its production it is sold at a steep price; it is forthis reason that most clients and consumers of this oil are richmembers of the community. Its origin and formula is not known as theDayak shamans are secretive in this matter. Very little outsiders knowabout the existence of this oil and most that do know consider it as"old wives' tales."
This oil can be said to offer some sort of physical immortality--but ona temporary basis if the weakness and limitation of this ilmu or poweris known by one's enemies. The method of defeating someone who is aStar-Oil Master is to vanquish him and them immediately separate hisbody parts and bury them in different locations. Only in this mannerwill he be permanently immobilized; otherwise, he would just revive inthe middle of the night when the stars are out and resume his physicallife. No matter how badly injured, bruised, wounded, and killed in anaccident or war, when the stars start shining the corpse would hear the"trumpet-call" and respond with vigor--this is the Dayak's version ofthe resurrection. This process is dissimilar to zombies, the supposedlyliving-dead. The corpse of the Star-oil master would actually bereanimated and regenerated with vital-force giving it new life. It doesnot matter if the blood has been congealed and the body in a rigormortis condition. When nightfall comes, the body would graduallyawaken. The effects of the Star-Oil has some resemblance
to theJavanese occult powers such as "Ilmu Rawa Rontek," and "Aji Pancasona."
We believe that scientific research on this oil would be greatlybeneficial to humanity although the latter as a whole may not beprepared for it yet. Additionally, acquiring a sample of this oil fromthe Dayaks for analysis would be quite a problem as they are very waryof strangers visiting their communities or giving their magickal itemsor secrets away.
The Star-oil itself has a greenish or yellowish hue and is very simplyapplied. All that one has to do is to consume a few drops on a Thursdaynight, together with the application of other essential instructionsfrom the shaman and this would be enough to provide one with thelife-long power. This occult virtue cannot be magically transferred toothers unless they likewise consume the elixir. Dying persons whengiven this oil-potion would be "guaranteed" to recover even if theywere to subsequently show signs of death. The Star-oil would have itseffect when the stars are out.
Minyak Kawiyang
Another rare Dayak specialty is Minyak Kawiyang, or "Kawiyang Oil."Some also call it Minyak Sumbulik. According to sources this oiloriginates in the Kinibalu mountains. There is a romantic legendrelated to this minyak.
In the olden days there lived at the foot of the Kinibalu mountains abeautiful widow who for some unknown reason year after year grew moreand more beautiful. It was not surprising that she had many suitors whosought her hand in marriage. For some reason, though, thematrimonial-state did not last long for her and every marriage ended indivorce.
While on her death-bed, all of her ex-99 husbands came to visit,weeping and regretting their past immature behavior towards her.Minutes after her transition, and in the midst of the gathering, avoice from nowhere was suddenly heard. It said to the men that theirwife having loved her husbands dearly left for them a chalice filledwith oil. They were instructed by this voice to share the oil amongthem and to always cherish it as a souvenir and reminder of the woman'slove, and that they were not to forget her. This oil later became knownas Kawiyang.
Putting legends aside, Kawiyang-oil comes in five different types andcolors: black, red, green, yellow and white. Each of these is said tohave its own special virtues. The black Kawiyang confers invisibility,charisma, authority, and invulnerability to hand weapons; while the redKawiyang gives an anti-gravity field to the body making it possible toundergo journeys in the quickest time possible. Wide rivers andmountain crevasses are easily crossed with single leaps. The redKawiyang also gives the ability to command the Jin spirits to assist inphysical combat. Green Kawiyang oil has its use in the santet and teluhforms of black magic. This oil may also be used for gaining ormaintaining a youthful appearance. It is believed that this is acquiredthrough vampiric activities. Just a dab of the oil on the neck and thehead is supposed to sever itself from the body and fly-off somewhere tolook for victims in order to suck their blood. Some of the green oilshave bluish tints and this is supposed to be another excellent sourcefor the working of black magic. It has the power to de-materializeobjects and materializing it again as malicious implants in the bodiesof victims. The unfortunate person subjected to such implants pass awaynot long after.
Yellow Kawiyang oil is used for love, attraction, and fascination. Nospells and mantras are needed for this. All that is required is toacquire a drop or two with the fingertips and to apply them in thepalms. The two palms are then rubbed together. After this all that onehas to do is to touch with one's hands and fingers the subject that wewish to fascinate--perhaps as in a handshake.
Riches and wealth may be acquired with the utilization of the whiteKawiyang oil. This is one of the magical oils mostly pursued--for ithas the power to instantly manifest money from the invisible worlds.Those possessing this oil are given financial security. Nothing muchhas to be done--money materializes supernaturally on one's lap almostwithout supervision or direction to the familiar spirit associated withthe oil. Shipwrecks, destroyed houses and buildings, and buried moneyare some of the sources of this wealth.
White Kawiyang oil may also be used to magically transport money spentin shopping back to us. In other words, money spent are occultlydeported back to the spender.
Each of the oils has its familiar belonging to the genie or jinn typeof spirits. The etheric guardian of the white Kawiyang oil has the formof the woman who had 99 husbands. The familiars of the other minyaksare said to be sisters of the above Jinn. They are called Camariah,Dandaniah, Tambuniah and Uraniah.
According to certain native psychics who are well versed with Dayaklore and occultism, in order to function, every year these oils have tobe given sesajen, or food-offerings, which are not always fit for humanconsumption. The black oil should be given the blood of a black chickentogether with black glutinous rice. The red and green oil requiresblood from one's ring-finger and the water of red sugar-cane, while theyellow and white oils need to be nourished with gold dust.
Although they look fluid, these oils have the consistency of agar orjelly and for reasons not quite known they pulsate visibly as thoughalive. Although we have not personally seen this ourselves, reliablefriends have assured us that this is indeed true as they have seenthese oils with their own eyes. When poured out of its vessel it showsits elastic nature like rubber glue.
The oils are kept in little ceramic vessels designed for oils calledcupu (pronounced choopoo), but not just any cupu, because inappropriatevessels would crack. They should be in their proper colors too. Thereshould not be any mirrors in the room where they are kept, and enoughventilation is required for their proper preservation.
The cupu containing the Kawiyang oil should be placed upon pieces ofcloths assembled in layers, one on top of another. The bottom cloth iswhite, symbolizing "death." The middle-layered cloth is yellowrepresenting "protection." The uppermost cloth, black in color, signifysanctity.
Atop of the cloths should be placed a plate made out of no othermaterial but white porcelain. A mixture of ordinary rice and theglutinous sort should fill about half the plate. This rice mixture iswhere the cupu with the Kawiyang oil is placed and maintained.
Should the oils be kept indiscriminately without following the aboveinstruction they would soon lose their power. If this occurs, a certainpurification ritual must be conducted every Friday and Sunday nights,including full moons to revive the weakening oil. The method is to setup the oil with the lay-out above and then have 3 pieces of redincenses burning together with a lit candle. The incense should behalf-consumed before proceeding to the next step. When ready, raise theoil with the plate, together with the cloths above the incense to bepurified by the smoke. Have them encircle clockwise around the incensethree to seven times. Put the objects down, and then raise just theplate and the oil and repeat the process. This purification should bedone for the third time with only the cupu. Encircle the oil vessel 3to 7 times clockwise around the smoke. While sanctifying the objectswith smoke recite the following mantra:
"Jinak ulah raja benila putih nur putih sinar urang gaib"
Once the purification process has been completed the candle may be extinguished but allow the incense be totally consumed.
There is this belief that Kawiyang oil should be taken out of one'sdwelling place when a member of one's household passes away. Only afterthe deceased has been buried is it permissible to return the cupu withthe oil to its original place within the home.
It is also said that the possessor of the Kawiyang oil should notquarrel with one's wife or commit adultery for this would cause illfortune. If violated one should rectify the situation by pouring theblood of a black chicken onto the oil vessel and the plate of rice.This cleansing should be repeated with red sugar cane juice.
This oil should not be passed on to others indiscriminately. It shouldonly be given to others after having possessed it for at least threeyears, and not during the night for it is considered dangerous to doso. Those requesting this oil should prepare a cupu and a goldenscissors beforehand--the cupu to receive the oil and the scissors tocut the rubbery strands. The one receiving the oil should make apromise to obey the injunctions and to properly care for it. TheKawiyang oil should not be defiled by filthy water, otherwise, it wouldlose its power.
