Description | ||||||
The agriculture sector is the backbone of the Myanmar economy. In Myanmar society, Nats worshiping has existed before Buddhism arrived. Good weather, pest control, and good yields are important for cultivators. They pray that the weather is fine and the crops are good. This paper studies the custom of Ponmakyi Nat worshiping which is the culture of offering to the spirit called Ponmakyi Nat before the harvest or after the harvest hoping that she will help for high yielding. The qualitative method was applied and the data were collected from personal interviews and published books. The research argues that while Myanmar people follow different traditional agricultural practices, they all believe in Ponmakyi Nat. They hoped that Ponmakyi Nat would help them to have good yielding. In modern days, Myanmar people know that good yielding depends on fine weather, good seeds and advanced technology. However, they continue to worship Ponmakyi Nat still believing that she has power over successful yielding. | ||||||
