The mantra in Javanese is as follows: "Hong ilaheng heh jagad alusan roh gentayangan Jelangkung jaelangsat siro, ning kene ono, siro angslupo, yen siro teko wenehono tondo, Hayo enggalo teapot, hayo ndang angslupo," after the mantra is spelled then a figure spirits will arrive.
In some beliefs, this game is done to know something that the invite wants. Starting from the prediction number togel, forecast the future, even asking if the true lover has an affair with others.
