Abstract

This research highlights the function of an antidote or protector for the Pesisir Selatan populace during performance art. Based on prior research findings, it determines that spells possess a structure and function that serves as an antidote. At the same time, mantras contain cultural and religious values. The mantras recited by Minang shamans in their native language are based on verses from the Qur'an and employ the words of Allah SWT and Prophet Muhammad SAW. These mantras serve as a means of expressing belief while maintaining the unity and divinity of Allah SWT. A soft tone characterizes the recitation and employs ideational language to convey ideas and thoughts, reflecting the supernatural powers of the sources and containing hopes and requests. The present study employs a descriptive methodology with a phenomenological orientation, explicitly examining the phenomenon of utilizing mantras to counter adverse effects within a given community. The research involves an analysis of the structure and contextual presentation of mantras as observed within the Minang community. Furthermore, the study involved interviews with informants who served as experts in mantras, providing descriptions of factual or empirical linguistic phenomena present in individuals' daily experiences. The study's findings, which involved interviews with multiple informants, indicate that chants believe to possess magical properties, specifically the ability to avert a negative outcome.
