IN ANCIENT TIMES, SHE MAY HAVE BEEN THE MORTAL WIFE OR DAUGHTER OF THE KING OF JAVA, A QUEEN WHO TAUGHT HER HUSBAND HOW TO GAIN THE POWER OF THE SPIRITS SO HE COULD RULE WISELY....AND WHO THEN FELL VICTIM TO SPITE AND JEALOUSY. THE KING'S CONCUBINES, JEALOUS OF HER BEAUTY, USED BLACK MAGIC TO TURN HER INTO AN UGLY HAG, AND, BECAUSE OF HER UGLINESS, ORDERED HER TO LEAVE THE PALACE. FOR A TIME SHE WANDERED AIMLESSLY THROUGH THE FOREST, BUT WHEN SHE CAME TO THE OCEAN, SHE STOPPED TO REST, FALLING ASLEEP. SHE DREAMED THAT SHE WOULD BE CURED OF HER UGLINESS IF SHE THREW HERSELF IN THE WATER AND DROWNED. SHE DID SO AND FROM THEREON, BECAME THE POWERFUL GODDESS OF THE SEA.
TO THIS DAY, THE CULT OF "NYAI LORO KIDUL" IN CENTRAL JAVA IDENTIFIES THAT SEA GODDESS AS THE BEING WHO PERIODICALLY SNATCHES UNSUSPECTING MALE BATHERS FROM THE SHORE. FISHERMAN ASK HER PERMISSION BEFORE SAILING THE SEAS THAT SHE RULES, AND FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN HARM. DEVOTEES GATHER ON HER SHORES ON THURSDAY EVENINGS TO SEEK GUIDANCE, OFFER PETITIONS, AND REQUEST PROPHETIC DREAMS.
