  "My mother is a very strong woman. She was a midwife who learned her skills from her mother. In the past, most villages had several midwives. Midwives are very respected community members. They must be strong and not be afraid of blood, a powerful, hence scary element. Blood is such a powerful object that my grandfather, who shamans because they have a direct and immediate path through their blood to speak with the spirits. Such a path is not available to men."

  "Once when I was ill with a piercing pain in my chest that made it difficult to breathe, Sennebreb diagnosed this a pacok. Pacok is the piercing of the heart by small wooden needles that fly freely through the air, sent by shamans from other Orang Asli groups, such as the Temiar and Semai. They can hit a person arbitrarily. Pacok is dangerous and may cause death in a few days if no curing ritual occurs."

  "In many Orang Asli stories, the first humans were immortal. They and other early ancestors still are immortal, but their descendants are not. For the Jahai, the immortals live on fruits and other plant foods. A nectar-like substance, instead of hot blood, flows through their bodies. They know not sexual acts but produce children from the juice of ginger leaves."

  "The Semai of Kampung Chang Lama also relate fondly to the rivers and the fish (kaq) that aboud in them. The elders cherish recounting how, in the past, when one was hungry, one needed only to put the rice in the boil and go to the river to fish. By the time the rice was cooked, there would be sufficient fish to go along with it."

  "To maintain good relations with the superhumans, Batek communicated with them regularly through singing sessions in which shamans might go into trance and send their shadow-souls to visit the superhumans. At the beginning and end of fruit seasons, people built low platforms of tree bark on logs, covered by a huge lean-to-roof of thatch. There they sang to the superhumans, first, to ask for abundant fruit and, later, to thank them for sending it."

  "Dari segi budaya hidup, komuniti Orang Asli di kawasan kajian masih mepertahankan kepercayaan terhadap semangat yang berkaitan rapat dengan unsur alam semula jadi dan kuasa ghaib. Kepercayaan ini ialah warisan yang diterima dan diamalkan secara turun-temurun. Persoalan sekarang, bagaimanakah aspek sosiobudaya dan kepercayaan dalam komuniti wujud dan berkembang? Menurut Penghulu Karim bin Busu, kehidupan nenek moyang sebagai pengembara di hutan banyak mengajar mereka tentatng erti keperitan hidup dalam mencari rezeki yang hanya bergantung kepada sumber hutan dan tanah untuk bercucuk tanam. Mereka percaya bahawa setiap benda yang wujud bersama-sama mereka mempunyai semangat atau roh, dan mereka perlu menghormati unsur tebabit demi membentuk kehidupan yang harmoni."

  The religious beliefs of the Temuan...

  "The religious beliefs of the Temuan have not been studied in any detail, and accounts are therefore rather vague. According to my informants, there are two major deities, 'tuhan diatas' and 'tuhan dibawah', meaning sky-god and earth-god respectively. The former is responsible for the creation of this world, and also for the after-world, and for the realm of the spirits in general. The second deity is responsible for the world of the living, and it is he who imposes punishment for any breach of local taboos. Well-known male ancestors who have died long ago much revered, although there is no special ancestor cult."

  "Their belief in an after-world is rather vague. After a man has died, his soul will hover around his grave for a number of weeks, and it must e propitiated if the living are not to be harmed. Thereafter the soul travels to an after-world located somewhere in the west, in the direction of the setting sun, where it will join its tribal ancestors. The moyang are always benevolent, and they will help the living. Their main concern is the observation of tribal customs, and they will not hesitate to punish those who have broken a taboo."

  "The shaman has varied and important functions, and he occupies a significant place in the religion of the Negritos. We must examine the functions of the halak in more detail in order to understand this clearly. Schebesta begins by saying that his preliminary investigation has shown that the halak is partly a medicine man or a healer, and partly a priest (1957:120). But more detailed research convinced him later on that the halak is primarily a shaman, a man who is able to fall into a trance (1957:154)."

  "The central theme is that every human being has at least two souls: one is his life-spirit which gives him breath and keeps him alive and the other is his dream soul. When he is alive, a man's dream soul will leave his body at night; and it is the wanderings and adventures of the dream soul which are pictured in a man's dreams. After death, the life-spirit or the life-soul must perish; but the dream soul survives and after some days, when the funeral ceremonies have been concluded, it sets out on its journey to the next world."

  "The emotional atmosphere during the seance is ambiguous. At times the crowd is silent, and the women in particular show their awe and even fear, especially when the tiger's roar is heard. A few minutes later, the mood may change. The halak-and it must be remembered that he is now a chinoi-jokes with the crowd, and will even ask for a cigarette. In truth, the panok ceremony is partly a religious occasion and partly a public spectacle, or even a form of entertainment. The mood of the crowd changes with the nature of the questions asked."

  "We have already referred to the respectful and influential position that a halak enjoys in Negrito society. This respect extends beyond the grave, for a halak's funeral is different from that given to an ordinary man. A halak is not buried in the usual way. Instead, his corpse is eihter placed in the branches of a tall tree, or else it is buried in a sitting position, with the head exposed for the latter must never be covered with earth. A halak does not depart immediately into the next world but becomes a tiger instead."

  "To appease the deity, an old man or an old woman will cut the skin near to the shin bone, and collect the blood into a bamboo container. This blood is then mixed with water and a part of it is thrown into the air as a sacrifice to Karei, who lives in the sky. The remainder is poured onto the ground as an act of appeal for intercession by Yak Manoi, who dwells within the earth. This ceremony is accompanied by appropriate cries and prayers which explain the significance of the sacrifice."

  "But it should be stressed that Karei, although generally feared, is not regarded as an inherently malevolent king of being. If men behave themselves and conform to the acceptable mode of conduct, then Karei will not send evil of any kind to earth. It is only when tribal taboos have been broken that Karei will impose the necessary punishment, thus defending the righteousness of the accepted social order."

  "One of the main difficulties is that the Negritos, being a preliterate people, do not possess any written sacred scripts or documents, as it is that informants are likely to give different answers to one's questions, thus creating an impression of a lack of conformity, and even of confusion. Similarly, the various tribes and even the different nomadic bands at times, will have different interpretations of what is accepted as dogma. But this impression of a lack of conformity and confusion must not be exaggerated for after all, even the followers of the world's great religions, especially the laymen, will by no means be able to provide identical accounts of what they believe in."

  "Hubungan intim di antara manusia dan hutan yang dihuninya hanya boleh difahami di dalam seni tari dan muzik Orang Asli sekiranya sistem kepercayaan leluhur masyarakat peribumi tersebut juga diketahui sepenuhnya. Begitu juga halnya di kalangan masyarakat Orang Asli jika seandainya mereka meminggirkan hubungan di antara roh dan semangat hutan di dalam Sewang, persembahan tersebut tidak membawa sebarang makna, kecuali sebuah pergelaran simbolik dan representatif.|"
