Bandung, Indonesia Sentinel.com — Ayam Cemani is not just famous for its all black appearance but also for the mysticism that surrounds it. This rare black chicken has long been associated with mystical rituals, becoming a symbol of supernatural power and shamanism in Indonesia.

For centuries, this bird has been surrounded by stories that speak of its role in black magic and supernatural practices, making it one of the most feared and revered creatures in Indonesian folklore.

The origins of Ayam Cemani are deeply rooted in Javanese culture, where it is believed to have mystical powers. In Javanese tradition, the Ayam Cemani is believed to have supranatural power, which could bring good fortune, ward off evil spirits, and even protect against natural disasters. Its association with the spiritual world makes this bird often used in various rituals and ceremonies, particularly those seeking to communicate with the spirit, asking for prosperity.

One of the most renowned myths surrounding Ayam Cemani is its role in santet ritual, a ritual used to cast a curse meant to harm people. This bird is often used as a medium for the curses to be cast on the intended target. This is related to the belief that this chicken is the favorite food of the Jin (Evil Spirits) who brings the black magic, who usually asks for an offering in the form of Ayam Cemani blood.

While it has the power to harm, it is also believed that the blood and meat of an Ayam Cemani possess special powers and can be used to cleanse and purify. The black meat and blood are considered powerful, enabling the removal of negative energy, also treating sickness due to being cursed with black magic.

Another widespread belief is that the Ayam Cemani can act as a bridge between the human world and the spiritual realm. It is said that the sound of this bird at midnight signals the presence of spirits of the dead, and the bird is revered as a messenger from the other side.

Ayam Cemani is more than just a rare and unique bird, it is a living symbol of Indonesia’s rich cultural and spiritual heritage. Its deep black color and the myths that surround it have made it a subject of fascination, reverence, and sometimes fear.
