Suwuk is an activity of reciting traditional Javanese spell (mantra) for ancient healing and repelling disaster. One of the behavior of the ancient Javanese people is still found in rural areas. In suwuk there is a spell that is recited by a shaman. The spell in Javanese is called japa or prayer. Suwuk spell is believed by some Javanese people who believe that its existence has power, as a medium to ask God to adapt to Javanese culture in their language. Suwuk mantra is an intangible cultural asset that needs special treatment to document it. That is why an in-depth study of the shaman's spell rapal is needed. In an effort to provide explanations about the meaning and interpretation of meaning in the rapal spell. The analysis is done by using the method of contextual method and understanding method. The data source in this study was the suwuk shaman in Jatipuro village karanganyar district and the data in the form of transcription of the suwuk shaman spell obtained through unstructured interviews with the shaman. The results of this study conclude that suwuk spell has a construction of textual and contextual meaning which functions for introspection, purification, supplication, and hope. Self-introspection in an effort to re-experience, and give thanks for God's blessings and gifts. Purification in an effort to purify oneself through prayers in an effort to escape from the disturbing negative interference. A supplication, in an effort to restore the identity of the person who get suwuk for escape from the bad influences by Sawan. Hope, in an effort to expect God's blessing so that in the future life's journey will always be blessed, given safety, health and the glory of life.

“…This is because the prayers recited in suwuk and the objects that are considered azimat are fragments of the verses of the Qur'an. For example, reading certain pieces of the Qur'anic verse that are blown on the patient's head with the aim of eliminating disease (Arini, Alimi, and Gunawan, 2016). According to Sahiron Syamsuddin, the practice of suwuk and using azimat using the verses of the Al-Qur'an and a number of readings of Islamic teachings in society, according to Sahiron Syamsuddin, is part of the community's reception or acceptance of the Qur'an and its teachings.…”

Public belief regarding suwuk treatment and the use of azimat is ingrained even before it is scientifically proven . Several practices of suwuk and the use of azimat in society show a connection with the belief in Islam. This phenomenon becomes a social construction of suwuk and azimat which are considered to have many benefits from various times. The aim of this research literature to decrypt how to link the religion of Islam against suwuk and fetish practices and highlight the social construction suwuk and azimat in the view of modern society. The results of this study are suwuk and azimat are related to Islam because they use prayers that come from the verses of the Al-Qur’an. This is what makes suwuk and azimat still trusted and practiced in society, besides that the existence of scientific evidence about suwuk by researchers also makes suwuk easily accepted in modern society.

“…The traditional magic agents are referred to as Dukun in Javanese, according to Clifford Geertz, whose special position in Javanese culture, as traditional healers and sometimes, at the same time, as respected traditional leaders (Huda, 2015;Sartini & Ahimsa-Putra, 2017;Arini, Alimi, & Gunawan, 2016). It has been academically applied in some updated researches in other areas in Indonesia, such as in Belitung Island (Wildan & Irwandi, 2018), in Sinjaythe South Sulawesi (Togobu, 2018), and in Madura that mentioned the term Dukun as Dhukon who are sinful people according to Islamic teachings since what they do is shirk, which is forbidden in Islamic teachings for forcing God's existence (Haryanto, 2015b).…”

This research was based on a study conducted in four regencies of Madura Island, the mostly Muslim Island in the East Java Province of Indonesia. This research was descriptive qualitative and employed an ethnographic case study, which consisted of interviews, participant observations, and documentation as data collecting method, and analyzed by discourse analysis and textual analysis method. Magic agents, the informants in the present research and commonly referred to in Madura as Dhukon were Muslim. In addition, the existence of magic agents on the Island with its dominantly Muslim population was relatively clandestine since practicing/utilizing magic is among the biggest sins in Islamic teachings. Most of these magic agents had no other jobs, and made magic as their primary business commodity to meet their needs and their families. Therefore, their income for their lives relied on their community service activities as supernatural agents. They were likely to perform as Muslim (always wearing Arabic outfits) in daily life and employed some attributes taken from the Qur’an/Hadiths as their ‘tools’; thus, their income was blessed, rather than sinful, income. On average, their income from being Muslim magic agents was mostly higher than that of RMW (Regional Minimum Wage). The researcher argues that being a Muslim magic agent in Madura is a profitable professional job, among other jobs with geographical limitations.
