Jathilan: Trance and Possession in Java Quote
Budi - Jathilan Performer: After I become possessed, I don't remember anything. If my friends, wife, or child watches me, I wouldn't recognize them. I don't know what kind of spirit possessed me. I don't understand the magic or the power of the dance. People say I eat things but at the time I'm not aware of it. Only after I become conscious do I taste it's bitterness. When I eat something it feels good. But if I'm not possessed by a spirit, I certainly wouldn't want to eat incense or things like that!
