Called Pelesit, This Insect-Like Locust Shape is Often Used as a Black Magic Medium, Recognize Its Characteristics

Dream - There are a few modern society members in this digital age who are still influenced by superstitious practices.

One of these practices is black magic done out of envy towards the success or happiness of others.

Various black magic techniques are used by shamans. But one of the most commonly used techniques is pelesit.

This pelesit is more commonly used in Malaysia and Sumatra. Pelesit is the term for a locust used as a medium for black magic.

This pelesit is used as an intermediary to harm victims who are considered to disturb the life of the perpetrator.

Because the black magic is in the form of an insect-like locust, many people do not realize it because it is considered a normal animal.

Moreover, locusts are insects that do not disturb, so the black magic can be successfully transmitted.

However, a practitioner of traditional Malaysian medicine named Nur Hasnifalina shared tricks to recognize the presence of this pelesit.

Here are some explanations from Nur Hasnifalina to differentiate pelesit from ordinary locusts. According to Nur Hasnifalina, there are characteristics that distinguish pelesit from ordinary locusts.

• Pelesit has a head that is sharp and pointed like a triangle.
  
  
• Pelesit's eyes are white or orange.
  
  
• There is a needle inside the pelesit's body when its head is pulled.
  
  
• There is a blood stain from the shaman who sent the black magic on the abdomen of the pelesit.
  
  
• There is hair or thread when the head of the pelesit is pulled out.
  
  
• When discovered, pelesit will pretend to be dead like a dried locust.

Because it resembles a locust, Hasnifalina still warns not to kill it indiscriminately. It could be that it is not a pelesit, but rather a leaf or grasshopper.

According to her, locusts like that are innocent and are also creatures of God. But if you find a pelesit, do not touch it with your hands.

Instead, use a broom or wood to hit it until it dies. Another way is to burn it.

Hasnifalina then reminds to recite the holy verse Al-Baqarah in the evening or at night as a protection.

In addition to locusts, Hasnifalina mentioned that animals such as crows, centipedes, and frogs are sometimes used as mediums to send black magic.
