Volcano Gods ~ In repose, donned in ancient Ponorogo tradition, a gentleman takes a break in Sumber village before performing the Jatilan, a ceremony to appease a spirit believed to reside in Mount Merapi, a mystically special volcano located in Central Java, Indonesia.

The Archive • While living many years in Indonesia, connecting to the mystical layers of this utterly fascinating S.E Asian culture, I proposed a story to @ナショナルジオグラフィック on the spiritual connection many Indonesians have with their numerous volcanoes, what some believe are the navels or bellybuttons of the earth.

There are many fond, unique moments from this story, however this one from a Reog Ponorogo event always resonates, the smoke from this man’s kretek symbolizing the beauty and fury of Mount, Merapi.

All my best, @ジョン・スタンメイヤー
