From our last every Tuesday night magic ritual - the main part at our " Petilasan Ratu Kidul " room ( sacred room for Ratu Kidul ). First pic are the offerings for Ratu Kidul the Southern Beach Queen, a deity character from " Kejawen " ( one of ancient Indonesian origin beliefs ), such as : white and red roses petals with a water basin, 3 glasses of black coffee, 3 glasses of tea, and 3 glasses of red syrup. Second pic was dad pouring the drinks offering to Ratu Kidul's symbolic grave. Third pic was dad throwing the white and red roses petals to Ratu Kidul's symbolic grave while chanting spells, right before the magic ritual began.

Dad's birthday was at march 25th, and our " Petilasan / Pesanggrahan Ratu Kidul " ( one of our sacred places for magic ritual ) birthday was april 6th, but we celebrated them together last Tuesday. So it wasn't usual every Tuesday night mass magic ritual, but the both birthday celebration. I don't upload the whole pics because there were also entertainments like singing, dancing, eating, etc. I only upload the pics related to the magic ritual. 1. it's the " Tumpeng," traditional special food here for celebration like birthday, wedding, engagement, anniversary, birth, opening new stores, etc. " Tumpeng ' made from turmeric rice, enrich with vegetables, meats, shrimps, eggs, chickens, chillies, etc - usually have yellow color, but since " Ratu Kidul ' fav color is green, so we made an unusual " Tumpeng ' with green color. The green color wasn't from chemical but from " Suji leaves, " traditional green color for foods and drinks. I tried to search English word for " Suji leaves ' but found nothing. 2. After chanted spells and prays, dad led the ceremony where people threw red and white roses petals to " Ratu Kidul's " grave. 3, 4, 5 : Petilasan / Pesanggrahan Ratu Kidul looked like before the ritual. 6. People gathered around dad to listen to his speech. 7. The top of the " Tumpeng ' which was in triangle shape will be cut down as offering for " Ratu Kidul." Top of " Tumpeng ' always considers as most important part of the " Tumpeng ' and usually being given to the most important person or place at any celebrations. 8. People threw red and white roses petals to " Ratu Kidul's " grave in queue after dad did it first.
