These are Nyai Blorong ring and Kawi mountain sacred kris. Nyai Blorong / Nyi Blorong is a daughter of Ratu Kidul / Ratu Pantai Selatan / Nyi Roro Kidul, a deity in “ Kejawen “ ( one of Indonesian origin beliefs from Java ). And Kawi mountain in Indonesia is famous for so long for its magic and spiritual things. People go there to ask for things like love, relationship, to have kids, to get good job, etc. But Kawi mountain spirits usually ask for “ Tumbal “ as something in return. Tumbal is offering you have to give for the spirits in exchange for fulfilling your wishes. But “ Tumbal “ isn’t ordinary offering, because ordinary offering is called “ Sesajen.” Tumbal is something scary, actually, because the offerings usually your own family members. The spirits could ask for your family member/s to die or disable or get sick etc as payment for their services, that’s what real “ Tumbal “ means. The less version of “ Tumbal “ could only ask for you to never commit in relationship or marriage ( because the spirit wants you to tie the knot with them ) or ask you to never have kids. Any kind of violation against “ Tumbal “ agreement will cost you so much - it will cost all your family and close people also you’ll lose everything you have gained, fortune, money, love, friendship, etc.
