A form of water magic in which a spell is cast on plain water that’s contained in a tempayan or earthenware stone jars. This magic isn’t exclusive to the Banjarese people. The Malays call this type of water air jampi (water that has a mantra recited over it). Garangsang water has been cited in many blogs as the drink consumed by mobs of vigilantes before they went on a murderous rampage. It’s said to rouse a person to be a lethal, blood lusting warrior.
To understand the occult practices of the Red Sash and the practice of invincible magic, considered deviant by the mainstream Malay Archipelago cultures when misused for bad intentions, see cindai, garangsang water, ilmu kebal (the invincible spell) gerinsing, the flying blades and Selepang Merah vigilantes.
