Pawang
The pawang deals with magic involving weather, wild animals and spirits, but they may also be employed for cases of sorcery.[1] Pawang are usually associated with mountains and sky in contrast to the traditional healers (dukun or bomoh) who are most often linked to rivers.Some of them are able to do particular rituals and chants for ensuring good luck, such as bountiful hunt, having a safe trip,[2] or success in mining or construction.Practitioners believe the spirits can perform healings, seek missing persons and things or even investigate reasons for bad luck.[3] The British colonial administrator Frank Swettenham wrote about the role of the pawang in late nineteenth century Malaya in a chapter on 'Malay Superstitions' in his volume of essays Malay Sketches (1895).
