"Peace be with you, Prophet 'Tap, in whose charge is the earth, Suawam, in whose charge are the heavens, Prophet Noah, in whose charge are the Trees, Prophet Elias, Planter of Trees, And Prophet Khailir (Khizr), in whose charge is the water, I crave permission to see the remedies for So-and-so." Here remove the calladium-leaves from the jar-mouths, and taking one of the wax tapers, wave it in the smoke of the censer seven times towards the right, and say:-- "Peace be with you, O Tanju, I adopt you to be a guardian for my brother, You who are sprung from the original elements, From the former time unto the present, You who sprang from the gum of the eyes of Muhammad, I ask to see the disease of So-and-so." Here plant the taper firmly upon the edge of the jar, and "gaze" into the water "to see the signs" (`alamat-nya). Thus if there is an oily scum on the water (ayer berk'rak lemak) it is a bad sign; and to this may be added that if the calladium-leaf covering has acquired a faded look (layu) in the interim, it is a sign of severe sickness. Fumigate the outside of the jars with the smoke of the incense (the medicine-man does this by "washing" his hands in the smoke and then rubbing over the outside of the jars as if he were "shampooing" them); and anoint them with "oil of Celebes" (minyak Bugis). Then take a "closed fistful" (sa-genggam) of parched rice, and holding it over the smoke of the censer (ganggang di asap kem'nyan), repeat this charm:-- "Peace be with you, Mustia Kembang, I adopt you as a guardian for my brother, If in truth you are sprung from the primordial elements, From the former time unto the present, I know the origin from which you sprang, For you sprang from our Lady Eve (Siti Hawa), You I order, your co-operation I invoke, That whatsoever shape you assume Within this your garden of splendour, You break neither plighted faith nor solemn promise." Here throw the parched rice into the jars, and say:-- "Peace be unto you, O Prophet 'Tap, in whose charge is the Earth, O Prophet Noah in whose charge are the Trees, And Prophet Khailir in whose charge is the Water, I crave this water (lit. 'exudation') as a boon, For the healing of So-and-so." And observe these signs:--
