Before starting om the wall we checked the dates with the calender for which date was good to start building the wall. The 14th of august it was!
According to balinese hinduism this date will bring good energy to the house and protected from the house from black magic.
Bruce explained to me that a person with bad energy will loose it as he comes in to the house.
His bad energy will stay outside the house and he will receive good energy instead.
I sat in the car as we drove up to the mountains and was wondering about the calender
-So, how do you find all this information? All is written in the calender?
(every balinese has a calender which hangs on the wall with all days, dates etc)
-No!, explained Bruce. You have to check the proper WARIGA book. In that book you will find all the information you need. The book will give you more exact details about what will happen that date & what you should do and do not. It is very complicated. The calender (on the wall) is just a short version. You know, alot of people even though they are not hindu still belive in the Wariga calender.
Today was also a good day to get married. Along the way we saw many houses that had decorated the entrances with beautiful offerings.
As we finished the ceremony the boys of Wana Giri started playing football. The ball flew in all directions and most of the time over the edge.
-Bisa ambil bola?
-Yes, in english you would say "give me the ball"
-GIVE ME THE BALL, the giggeling boys shouted and continued playing...
