Synopsis

Explore the rich folklore and everyday religion of the Malay Peninsula. This nonfiction volume surveys sacred places, protective charms, and the lively rituals that shape village life. Learn how Malays view souls, spirits, and the power of sacred objects in daily practice.

How souls, spirits, and sacred animals are imagined and honored.

Rites from adolescence to birth and how they influence daily life.

What kramat, symbols, and charms reveal about Malay culture.

Examples of ceremonies, propitiations, and the logic behind them.
