CUKUR GEMBEL CEREMONY

Trash shaving ceremony is a ceremony performed by District residents Plantungan Kendal district. Shaving tradition trash has been going on since the teachings of Buddhism into Hinduism in the area Plantungan. This ceremony is a ceremony performed by people who have a child beggar-haired since birth. This is based on the myth that children are born with hair trash is still influenced by a kind of supernatural power of the nation. Because the hair is believed to be trash by the nation's media to influence the supernatural is the child's behavior and habits. By residents, these strengths can be eliminated by doing Ruwatan. This is called Shave Ruwatan trash, with the aim to eliminate the influence of these filthy hair. This is done when the child was aged under five. At that time the child can still be exempt from the influence of forces that are trusted by the local community. This ceremony can be performed when the child can talk, this is because when the child can talk he can express what he wanted. All items must be bought for what he wanted by parents, so children will be free from such force. Here are the terms of the shaving ceremony trash:
 Child beggars have hair at birth
 ceremony performed when the child is already able to speak (this is because children can express what he wants, before the child was asked about his desire to tap on the shoulder aim to be shocked and spoke spontaneously about what he wants)
 All the things the child wants it to be followed
 Before and after the ceremony should fast during 3hari
The ceremony is conducted freely, not adrift in time. Families who have children are usually living snot-haired areas of the mountain slopes, the slopes of the mountain communities around the nation believe in magic that can affect children's behavior. This is realized through the child's original hair trash since birth. In this ceremony, unlike the Javanese ceremonies as offerings that use the media (so that the atmosphere became "rumesep"), this ceremony is more emphasis on salvation, with snot shaving was the child can develop normally like other children. When conditions are met, the procedures are done the same as when the salvation of java. 1) Before the ceremony began, the child is dressed (wearing nice clothes), 2) the same as any other java ceremony, a ceremony amid the trash hair cut until they run out, 3) after the cut together to share food like salvation of the villagers in general.
By holding this ceremony, people believe that the child was not affected by the invisible nation. And expected mannerly good.
