Borneo Pearls

One interesting myth related to cobra-pearls is that these cobras employ the light of the pearl they carry in their hoods to hunt at night as a way to liven up their course - which would certainly indicate a property of the pearl itself or in agreement with the argument above that a symbiotic relationship is alluded to here between the cobra and the spirit-elemental of the pearl that the snake hosts. In cases where a pearl is said to have properties of light, it is difficult to validate and confirm its authenticity or to determine if some form of gimmick is employed to work its magic because owners of these pearls still refuse testers closer. With regard to false, we know there are synthetic "stones" selling in Indonesia with an electronic component, the light emitting diode embedded in them, which is coupled to a small battery and a switch that closes the circuit and emits light at each of the stones are immersed in water or when pressure is applied for - from this point of novelty can probably be found in different countries as well - this stone is often used for deception. What confuses the issue shining pearl of the above is that in ancient Vedic literature as the Garuda Purana, the nature of the beads that are said to be "brilliant" are described in terms that are open to the interpretation and debate.

But back to the subject of shamanic pearl recovery, there are times when the ritual fails for one reason or another, or it may require additional efforts to be directed towards her in any situation more ritual-sessions are repeated for several consecutive days, which means the shaman more days / nights in the region infested with mosquitoes. Sometimes, such prolonged struggles also fail and the shaman has to return empty-handed for his efforts. In general, the harder it is for the shaman to retrieve a pearl, the greater is its inherent power / magical powers. It is rare but does occasionally pay the shamans for their psychic life during the struggle.

Shamans are often called to the attention of unusual phenomena occurring in villages such as strange hauntings, poltergeists, possessions, etc. - After the detection by these shamans psychic can be haunting entities that are custodians of magic pearls that often the desire to give these people - the rituals are then conducted to facilitate the transfer of these treasures. In other cases, the haunting spirits are not predisposed to giving away the pearls in their possessions but haunt as a result of the desecration or disturbances of their territory by humans. When shamans detect that these spirits-kind pearls are the protectors and wishes to acquire a psychic "battle" would ensue with the shaman engaging in the struggle for victory over the center-spiritual beings.

Haunting spirits such as above are often "siluman" class-types - the kind of jinn (spirits) that manifest themselves as etheric creatures and sometimes even as physical animals that can be killed like ordinary beings. Beasts such as tigers, crocodiles and wild boars menacing villages and killing humans are often considered siluman - they carry certain traits or characteristics that indicate they are not ordinary animals - there is always something strange about them subject. To protect the community, the elders of a village in difficulty would usually decide to create a trap for the beast somewhere in their compound or to hunt them down. During the actual confrontation, these creatures often display extraordinary qualities of invulnerability, strength, courage and endurance; ordinary blades and weapons have almost no effect on them - when they finally defeated with the assistance of shamans who casts a spell appropriate, they are found to contain pearls or stones in their bodies and are found to possess the same.
