Moreover, in Javanese tradition, a migrant is also advised to avoid choosing geblak day to go to work or return to their homeland. Geblak day is a day of mourning for someone's death calculated based on the Javanese calendar. Geblak day falls on the same day and market (pon, wage, kliwon, legi, pahing) as the day of someone's death.
According to Javanese primbon, going to work on geblak day, especially for migrants, is not recommended as it is believed to bring negative energy. Geblak day is considered a day when the spirits of the deceased return to visit the world. This belief creates the notion that the spiritual energy on that day is stronger, which can affect a person's journey and work, especially if they are far from home.
Additionally, Javanese primbon teaches that geblak day should be used to remember and pray for the deceased. For migrants who go to work on this day, it is believed they may face obstacles in their work or even encounter risks during their journey.
That is among the reviews about good days to depart according to Javanese primbon. Hopefully, it is useful, can broaden your insights, and answer your curiosity all this time. As for the rest, the decision to believe or not to believe is returned to the hands of the readers.
