00:00 In the previous season, we covered a story of black magic
00:03 with a girl named Supiati in Yogyakarta.
00:06 She was a victim of one evil black magic spell,
00:11 named Santet.
00:13 This kind of spell can kill you
00:16 or emotionally, physically and mentally traumatise you for a lifetime.
00:21 This story was covered in Yogyakarta.
00:24 So my question is, in this big city of Jakarta,
00:28 do people still practise Santet?
00:30 Who does and why?
00:32 Who suffers and who benefits?
00:34 These are things that people need to know and understand.

01:13 I have learned that one of the most lucrative services
01:16 in the paranormal business is something they call Santet.
01:20 And amongst the various types of Santet,
01:23 the popular one is Ilmu Pelet,
01:26 which is the art of making love potions and spells.
01:29 We meet again with paranormal practitioner Kang Mashrukan,
01:35 who appeared in our previous episode.
01:37 I wanted to understand the perspective of black magic in Jakarta
01:41 and also other aspects of paranormal that may be of interest to all of us.
01:46 Is black magic very common in Indonesia?
01:52 Yes, of course.
01:54 Many practice black magic
01:56 because for them, it's an easy, simple and hassle-free way
02:00 to obtain something they want.
02:02 Many of those who practice black magic have their own reasons.
02:07 Some use the art of Santet to kill
02:09 or to harm someone physically or mentally.
02:13 Some have the ability to control the victim's mental state
02:16 by causing them harm or making them go crazy,
02:20 especially when it concerns romance.
02:22 So, one can use this black magic specifically for such purposes.
02:26 And such art is called Pelet.
02:29 And then there are those who want the power
02:32 to be able to cheat others and obtain their savings.
02:35 Is that how you say it, Ilmu Pelet?
02:39 How does Ilmu Pelet work?
02:42 Even though there are some that cannot be called black magic,
02:45 in actual fact, most of these are black magic.
02:49 They create and force a mental and emotional condition
02:52 that allows one to be influenced with little effort.
02:56 Using spells, a photograph, a lock of hair, a piece of clothing,
03:01 or an article that was used by the person,
03:04 or even a dog to target the victim's heart.
03:08 The resulting effect is that the targeted person
03:11 will not stop thinking of the person who has cast the spell.
03:15 Usually, those who are put under the spell or curse
03:21 will be affected for a long time,
03:24 sometimes forever, unless the victim is cured of the spell,
03:28 or if the victim does not strengthen her faith in God.
03:32 Sometimes, the two shamans, the one who cast the curse,
03:37 and the one fighting it, will battle it out, a spiritual battle.
03:42 We try to cure those who suffer from these black magic curses.
03:46 The shaman who cast the curse on the victim
03:49 will communicate spiritually with us and attack us,
03:52 asking us why we are interfering.
03:55 I have read many articles about clients being taken advantage of and cheated,
04:05 especially in this dark world of black magic, or Santet.
04:09 What I gather is that these Dukuns actually believe
04:12 they have supernatural powers to put a deadly curse on another person.
04:17 I managed to discuss this with Kiprana Lewu, a celebrity spiritualist,
04:22 who told me that he was once a practitioner of black magic.
04:26 I studied the art of Santet much earlier
04:31 because I wanted this power and learned how to use it or fight it.
04:36 There may be those who are cynical,
04:43 but most people, regardless if they are Muslims, Christians, Hindus or Buddhists,
04:49 believe in the supernatural and the unseen.
04:54 Understanding that, from the theory of being able to send a nail and inflict pain on the victim,
05:04 since you understand how to do that and you've done that before,
05:08 now in healing, how do you use the same power but in the reverse?
05:13 For example, if someone in the past had asked me to put a curse on a victim,
05:19 they always make us promise not to reverse the curse.
05:23 If it happens that a victim comes to me to be treated,
05:26 whether or not it was me who put a spell on him,
05:30 it is my obligation to cure him of the curse.
05:33 Therefore, the correct mantras and holy words that we use to neutralise the spell or curse
05:49 is already inherent in the victim's body.
05:52 Why did you change your course of work?
05:55 Why did you stop practising Santet?
05:58 Because I could have peace of mind.
06:03 I have always felt nervous, agitated,
06:06 and I felt I was committing many sins,
06:09 feelings of guilt about hurting others.
06:16 Isn't it better that you improve your faith in whichever corridor of belief that you have?
06:21 God willing, for the Muslims in their prayers,
06:27 this will protect them not only from curses,
06:30 but anything connected to black magic.
06:33 For those of other religions,
06:35 this will also protect them from the curse of the devil.
06:39 So, what is the point of this?
06:41 For those of other religions,
06:44 strengthen your faith and learn more about your own religion.
06:48 Similarly, the victims of black magic will not be given any notice in advance.
06:58 But, black magic being practised from generations before,
07:04 the antidote is similarly from generations before,
07:08 what we always are told, to have faith and spiritual strength.
07:13 Through our contacts in Jakarta,
07:35 we managed to locate a shop that sells the supplies and items
07:40 used by fake dukuns and shamans in their artificial rituals.
07:44 As requested by the owner of the shop,
07:47 the details of the shop, location and owner will not be revealed.
07:52 One of the first items he showed us was the technique of creating smoke
07:56 from a special oil or liquid.
07:59 Another popular item is some medicine.
08:02 Another popular item is some matter which will combust with spectacular effects.
08:08 This oil, for example, can be used in some fake ritual or test
08:13 that when put on your skin, will cause the skin to feel a burning sensation.
08:17 And the particularly sensitive areas are the forehead,
08:21 inner side of the arm and the abdomen.
08:24 This looks familiar, doesn't it?
08:28 The infamous jenglot figurines in various sizes and designs.
08:33 In light of this, it is perplexing that people still believe they are real.
08:37 There are countless cases of people being cheated of their life savings by these charlatans.
08:44 Some have been reported in the media,
08:47 some celebrity dukuns have also been taken to court,
08:50 charged for fraud and given jail terms.
08:53 The public must be informed and wary of these fake and dangerous dukuns.
08:58 One must never be desperate and gullible.
09:01 I am meeting an expert on this matter,
09:04 Dr. Degentara from the Universitas Negeri Jakarta,
09:08 who will explain to me the scientific perspective of the practice and belief in suntan in Indonesia.
09:15 In your profession, lecturing for social sciences,
09:20 you have studied the history and all about there is to know for suntan.
09:26 Can you please tell me how many different types of suntan are there in Indonesia?
09:32 In the traditional form, the effect is direct.
09:37 A shaman who wants to call a jinn, for example,
09:41 without the help of an instrument or without the help of a medium,
09:46 can ask directly to the jinn.
09:49 To inflict harm on someone or to possess the subject,
09:55 to be a mediator.
09:58 Then again, whenever we talk about suntan or black magic,
10:03 the view is always negative.
10:07 But there are also those who use magic for positive purposes.
10:15 In many societies, in respect to suntan,
10:19 it is usually inherited or connected to the traditions and cultures of the ancestors.
10:26 And the phenomena today in Indonesia,
10:31 in 34 provinces, each have their own forms of suntan.
10:36 They are in reverence to their ancestors.
10:40 There are suntan with various types, styles and traditions,
10:45 according to the ancestors.
10:47 Doctor, what's your message or advice to the audience
10:57 about this paradigm shift in mentality,
11:01 which will resultantly change the meaning of suntan from negative to positive?
11:07 In my opinion, those who do not believe, should believe.
11:13 Believe in what?
11:15 To believe in God.
11:17 When we are one with God,
11:19 we will be confident that everything we do brings positivity.
11:23 And we will protect ourselves from negativity,
11:27 and especially if the polarity includes electromagnetic particles
11:32 that are delivered via suntan that can hurt.
11:36 In my religion, I have the ustaz or kai.
11:40 These people cannot be hurt by suntan.
11:43 So, think positively.
11:46 There you have it.
11:52 Suntan itself is nothing but a method.
11:57 Its effect is what you make of it.
12:01 Good begets good, bad begets bad.
12:05 So why not choose good, why not choose positive,
12:09 and change the meaning of suntan altogether?
12:13 When I was interviewing Dr Degentara,
12:18 a colleague of his, Mohd Rizqa Irawan, was also present
12:22 and surprisingly used the same method.
12:26 He used a transference of energy to help soothe Dr Degentara
12:31 who was suffering a coughing bout.
12:33 Subsequently, I decided to ask Mohd Rizqi
12:37 to show me some rituals to determine some matters.
12:41 I am back here at the cemetery in Jerobpurut.
12:48 Tonight, I'll be meeting someone very interesting.
12:51 His name is Mohd Rizqa Irawan.
12:54 He is a lecturer of economics,
12:56 but for this show, I have learned that he is also very learned
13:00 in the practice of suntan from an academic perspective.
13:04 I have spoken to many practitioners of suntan,
13:08 spiritualists who heal people who suffer from suntan.
13:12 But I never fully can be convinced
13:16 about how it works or why it works.
13:19 Tonight, we will be meeting a person
13:23 who has been practicing suntan for over 30 years.
13:27 Tonight, we will see for the first time
13:30 the actual ritual of the practice of suntan
13:34 and most importantly, how it is removed.
13:37 How have you used this gift to heal people, victims of suntan?
13:47 Humans can be hurt by suntan when they are not religious
13:52 but they cannot be hurt if they fill their hearts with positive energy
13:58 which includes godliness, no vengeful thoughts,
14:02 never thinking bad about others, doing good deeds, always thinking positive.
14:07 These are the people who will not be affected by suntan.
14:12 Suntan can be reversed using the power of Mother Nature.
14:17 No need for prayers, no need to use magic.
14:22 Just the power of Mother Nature is enough.
14:26 At this point, I would like to invite Mohamad Rizka Irawan
14:35 to show us the ritual of suntan where an object is sent to a person
14:42 and most importantly, how it is removed.
14:46 After the break, we shall see if Mohamad Rizka Irawan
14:49 can replicate one of the most common practices of suntan called susok
14:54 where he will try to insert a foreign object into another person's skin using black magic.
15:00 We are in the famous haunted cemetery of Jeruk Puroh in Jakarta
15:15 and the perfect place for us to carry out our suntan experiment.
15:19 The experiment, though not scientific, had parameters
15:23 so that we can gauge its authenticity and results.
15:26 We prepared some items ourselves for the experiment
15:29 that included eggs, coconut milk, lemon and charcoal.
15:33 We also selected a human subject.
15:37 I am right now preparing items for this pot under the instructions of Mohamad Rizka
15:48 to prepare for the ritual for the suntan.
15:53 The chicken bones are supposed to attract the entities as part of the ritual.
15:58 This is chicken blood, black chicken.
16:01 Its use is similar to humans in their lives.
16:04 The jinns also have needs and this is for them to drink if they want to.
16:09 This is their food and how they drink or eat this is varied.
16:13 We shall wait for the reaction.
16:15 Staples.
16:23 I use this because it is small.
16:26 We are not very big.
16:32 Give me your hand, your left hand.
16:35 There is energy of a jinn on my right hand.
16:39 I want you to also feel it.
16:41 I feel a sharp pain, a burning pain on my skin coming from his fingers.
16:53 Breathe normally.
16:56 There is nothing but hot energy.
16:58 This proves that something has entered my hands.
17:02 This is a jinn that has come uninvited.
17:05 Maybe from the other world and is not pleased with what we are doing.
17:09 That side is okay.
17:11 He has accepted our offerings.
17:13 I need to take care of that side.
17:15 Wait, give me five minutes.
17:26 Mohd Rizqa immediately began to prepare Mas Rio,
17:29 who volunteered to be the test victim.
17:32 Rizqa ordered him to focus strongly on negative thoughts
17:35 whilst he attempted to open Rio's aura.
17:38 We kept our distance and silence,
17:40 allowing Rizqa to call on the spirits around us.
17:45 [Music]
17:49 [Music]
17:53 [Music]
17:56 [Music]
18:13 [Music]
18:16 We have done what needs to be done.
18:38 There are even offerings made.
18:40 Some bones, some oils that are used for the sun-tat ritual
18:44 in order to open the aura.
18:47 But unsuccessful rituals are usual in this unseen world
18:51 because we can't foresee activities for that side.
18:55 Can you tell us what were the reasons that the sun-tat was unsuccessful?
19:05 There are two obstacles.
19:09 The first one has given us the permission,
19:12 but the second one is not allowing us.
19:15 They are not happy because we are not doing what they want us to do.
19:19 This is why they have prevented us from accomplishing the sun-tat ritual
19:23 to our friend just now.
19:26 In the realm of the supernatural,
19:34 we can never understand or expect what will happen.
19:37 It always changes.
19:39 We can prepare for this at the last minute,
19:42 but there will always be interferences and obstacles.
19:45 Furthermore, I am not a sun-tat shaman.
19:48 But I know and understand sun-tat.
19:55 Let's go down.
19:57 It's not easy to be with the unseen,
20:00 not easy to interact with the jinn or the supernatural.
20:03 This is why even after preparing,
20:05 it is not guaranteed that something will happen.
20:08 Sometimes, it is normal to be unsuccessful in attempting sun-tat.
20:13 Even a real dukun cannot always do sun-tat in one attempt.
20:17 He will have to try many times to break the barrier.
20:21 Riyul, can you tell me what was your experience, step by step?
20:32 From the beginning, Mas Iwan ordered me to have negative thoughts.
20:37 After that, he told me to close my eyes.
20:41 When I did that, everything turned black,
20:44 as if I was going to faint.
20:47 My head felt heavy.
20:49 Then I fainted and became conscious again.
20:53 Nothing happened after that.
20:56 I was told to keep calm
20:58 and was cleansed by Mas Iwan, given coconut water.
21:03 That made me calmer even though before that I was stuttering.
21:07 In the end, I became calm.
21:10 At one point, he was checking you using his hands and everything.
21:23 During that time, he was trying to see if the item had successfully entered your body.
21:31 You felt nothing or did you have some sensation?
21:36 During all that time, I did not feel anything.
21:40 I felt at the moment Mas Iwan opened the aura near my temple
21:45 and I felt the heat.
21:49 As exciting as it would have been
21:52 to be able to witness a ritual of the Santat practice,
21:58 it was unsuccessful.
22:01 I always believe that there is a lesson to be learned in every situation.
22:06 As eager as I was,
22:09 it doesn't change the fact that Santat is powerful.
22:15 It doesn't change the fact that Santat is black magic.
22:19 Black magic is not something you mess around with,
22:23 you experiment with or you check it out.
22:28 As for the disturbances of energies on the right side of the cemetery,
22:34 even that cannot be explained.
22:37 However, if you look at it spiritually, mysteriously,
22:42 it tells us that we should not have done that.
22:46 So, the lesson here is,
22:49 as interesting as it would have been,
22:51 as intriguing as it would have been,
22:54 it was not something to be done.
22:56 And like I always say,
22:58 what we see may not be real and what is real, we may not see.
