Itโs often described as:
Smooth, marble-like, and sometimes glowing faintly.
Found inside the mouth or head of the centipede, but only during rare mystical events.
๐ Myth & Beliefs
Legends say that only special or โkingโ centipedes can produce this pearl, and they fiercelyย guardย it.
The geliga lipan is believed to hold spiritual power, including:
Protection against dark magic and malevolent spirits.
Luck & prosperity for its owner.
Enhanced spiritual sensitivity, making it easier to sense the unseen.
Some say the centipede can only be defeated during a specific lunar phase (often a full moon), and taking the pearl without proper rituals can bring curses.
๐ฏ Paranormal Angle
In some stories, the centipede is not just an insect but a supernatural guardian or a shapeshifting spirit.
There are claims that the geliga lipan can disappear or teleport if taken without the creatureโs โpermission.โ
Spiritually, itโs said to be a living talisman โ losing it carelessly could bring misfortune.
โ Modern Skepticism
Many people believe that โgeliga lipanโ found in markets are just polished stones or resin, not actual mystical objects.
The real ones, according to believers, are almost impossible to find and would never be sold openly.
