Description

This scholarly work from Springer examines Malay mysticism through the lens of silat, the traditional martial art, offering a more complete understanding than conventional accounts focused solely on shamanism, dance, medicine and performance. By recognising the guru silat's central role in Malay spiritual practice, the book reconfigures how we understand Malay religion, sorcery and magic within their cultural context. The text explores silat as embodied war magic and reveals connections between martial discipline and Sufi mystical traditions that have been overlooked in earlier anthropological studies. Part of the Muslims in Global Societies Series, this volume bridges martial arts and mysticism to provide fresh insights into Southeast Asian spiritual and cultural practices.
