Abstract

Stories and myths are not just stories; they have meaning and structure. The structure of a myth is an expression of the society that supports it. Structure and model become expressions of society at a subconscious level and can only be explored through Lévi-Strauss's structuralist analysis. The Dieng exorcism ritual is a folktale that exists in the Dieng community. The Dieng exorcism ritual does not have any ritual content, but contains many community beliefs. The purpose of this study is to describe the exorcism ritual of the Dieng community, especially its identifying elements and mythological content. This ritual is performed every year on the first day of the month of Sura in the Javanese calendar. Broadcast time is 05.00-14.00 WIB. The location is at Lake Bale Kamban, Dieng Banjarnegara, Central Java. The Dieng exorcism ritual includes location, time, tools, offerings, prayers, and myths. This myth is about Gember hair and the exorcism ritual by cutting Gember hair. The Ruwatan ritual is a complex and meaningful cultural practice in Javanese society. This study analyzes the meaning and function of Ruwatan as an exorcism ritual in the context of culture and tradition. The results of the study indicate that Ruwatan not only functions as an exorcism ritual, but also as a means of maintaining social balance and harmony. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the role of culture and tradition in shaping the identity and life of society.
