Asal Hantu


When the twins Habil and Kabil were in the womb of their mother Eve they bit
their thumbs till the blood came, and when they were born the blood turned into
spirits both good and evil.


The blood which spurted up to heaven became Kunchi Sa-Raja Ayer; that which
reached the clouds (awan) became Jin Hitam; and that which fell on the ground
Jin Puteh.


Darah sagenggan kiri, darah sagenggan kanan, itu-lah asal Hantu Darat. For the
rest, uri menjadi harimau, tembuni menjadi buaya, bali (tali pusat) menjadi
gajah, tentoban menjadi Hantu Ayer.


[xxi] Charm to cast out Evil Influence


Daun    pekak,  daun    pegaga
Katiga dengan mali-mali
Aku pinta’ mana yang ada,
Membuang sial dengan pemali.
Lang Pok Lang Melini,
Katiga dengan awan Shurga,
Di-tepok jangan-lah tangan kiri,
Aku pinta’ mana yang ada.
