Abstract

Myth is one of the people’s beliefs. There are many kinds of myths in Java, one of which is the Myth in the Ritual of Langkahan which is done at a wedding. It is a tradition that started a long time ago but is still done by Javanese people now. This study is initiated due to the tradition done by the Javanese. Langkahan is a ritual done when younger siblings get married before their older sisters or brothers. The data in this study were collected through observation and interviews with the brides and bridegrooms, cultural experts, people done the ritual, and the researcher’s experience. Langkahan as a ritual is done because of three feelings, one of which is lust-unlust. It is a feeling possessed by those whose younger siblings get married first. People tend to believe that there is some kind of effects of not doing this procession, so this procession is mostly done to avoid the effects. As traditions need to be preserved, Langkahan should still be done. It is a traditional cultural legacy from ancestors that serves as a symbol of the identity of an area. Moreover, it shows respect for older siblings whose younger siblings get married first.
