Bilonga residents firmly believe in such a practice. Teachers (home) and community leaders carry on this tradition. The author attempts to describe one of the occurrences that exist in the Bilonga community, which is tinted by beliefs that exist from time to time. The practice of its application is carried out in one of the residents' dwellings, in the hamlet of Bategulung village, Bilonga. In writing this article, the researcher uses qualitative research methods through several studies. This researcher uses direct observation techniques and interview techniques with sources.
