Mount Kemukus Sex Ritual in Central Java
Mount Kemukus is a story about sex rituals in the land of Java.
Indonesia is a country that strongly believes in myths and supernatural things.
even many things that actually not make sense but many Indonesians believe in the truth.
Hello friends, after writing about batik now I will tell you about a very special mountain
why is it so special?
Indonesia has many mountains and valleys
Even Indonesia is surrounded by a series of volcanoes
That’s why Indonesia is also known as the country with the Ring of Fire because there are so many volcanoes around it.
But what I’m going to tell you today is not about volcano.
You must be wondering what is this mountain?what makes it is so special then must be written about it in this article
This is a story about a mountain that’s known for sex rituals.
Yes, that’s right, this mountain has been known for a long time as a mountain where couples perform sex rituals for a purpose, namely wealth.
I myself have visited that place to see what the practices and rituals are like.
The mountain, named Mount Kemukus, is located in Sragen Regency, Central Java in a village called Pendem Village.
Visit the Sex Mountain
I remember that night with a friend, driving a car we headed to that place.
The distance we traveled from Surakarta city was actually not too far, maybe around 35 km.
The road to get to the place was quite good but winding and coincidentally that night it rained even though it was not heavy.
The atmosphere was dark but we continued our journey.
after going through the dark night, we finally arrived at the entrance to the ritual place.
the situation became a little tense because the previous afternoon it rained quite heavily so the road was flooded with high enough water so the view from the darkness of the night it seemed like you had to cross the lake (although it was very shallow of course), but for those of you who first visited it, it was certainly a little tense.
Long story short, we finally arrived at the parking lot of the shrine.The parking lot was quite large and I was a little surprised because there were many luxurious cars with number plates indicating that the owner of the car was a government official.
After we entered the area, there was a rather lively atmosphere because of the many food stalls equipped with a sound system that played music quite loudly.
What was interesting was that the visitors were not only male and female couples but also sex workers selling themselves.
A Sacred Grave in A House
It is understandable why there are so many sex workers in that place because this mountain provides ritual sex.
I remembered that after climbing several stairs, at the highest end, there was a room.
The room is believed to be the tomb of Prince Samudra
There is a shaman who leads the ritual ceremony, but there is no sexual intercourse or sex activities in that place
they just prayed in front of Prince Samudra’s grave
by the way,who is Prince Samudra? And why is this ritual so trusted by the Javanese people?
look at the history
A short history of Mount Kemukus
It is said that there was a prince from the Majapahit Kingdom.
This prince is descended from the last king who ruled in Majapahit while the mother of this prince was a concubine
This prince’s name is Samudra
After the Majapahit kingdom fell, the prince of the ocean and his mother were brought to the realm of Demak by the sultan of Demak
In the Sultanate of Demak, Prince Samudra was educated to study Islam under the guidance of Sunan Kalijaga.
After studying with Sunan Kalijaga, the Sultan of Demak ordered Prince Samudra to continue his Islamic religious education at Ki Ageng on Mount Lawu.
After completing his education, Prince Samudra will return to Demak.
But on the way, he got very sick.
And finally, in a village called Miri, he died.
He was buried on a hill then the hill was named Mount Samudra
Then where did the name Kemukus Mountain come from?
Told by the local community why the place is called Kemukus Mountain.
Above the tomb of Prince Samudra, every time before the rainy season always comes out a black fog which in the local language is called “Kukus”
The Myth of Wealth on Mount Kemukus
Actually, it is not known for sure why Mount Kemukus became a place for sex rituals to seek wealth
There is another story about this prince of Samudra who was found having an affair with his own mother.
They were caught having sex on that mountain
That’s why the Javanese people trust this place as a place to find wealth by having sex 7 times
According to local folklore, before Prince Samudra died, he said that anyone who had sex in that place 7 times every 35 days would make them rich.
But there is a special day in doing the sex ritual
That day according to Javanese belief falls on Friday Kliwon or Friday Pon ( Javanese Calendar )
The Javanese people trusted the story and it eventually spread to almost all of Indonesia
So that almost every time many people come to that place to perform ritual sex
Visitors who come to that place are not only local people or from the island of Java but from other provinces too
Mount Kemukus today
Ritual sex to find wealth is still widely believed by some people in Indonesia.
Every Friday Pon or Friday Kliwon there will be many people who come to have sex in that mountain
But if old times every man and woman looking for partners to have sex with, with someone’s wives of or a single woman, today many sex workers offer themselves to be sex partners
The news about this mountain has also reached overseas
Even famous news agencies have covered the sex ritual on this mountain
Is this myth true??? I don’t know but when I visited that place it turned out that there were still many people who believed it
By the way, nowadays that place has already changed because the Central Java governor renovated that place
As you can see in the picture but however there are still sex rituals that you can find
