So far, there has been no research on mysticism in the mantra Kidung Rumeksa ing Wengi (hereafter called KRW). The main point of view of this study was Javanese mysticism. KRW, as the main data, is a set of mantra texts (words, phrases, and sentences) with a total of 43 stanzas Hermeneutic techniques were applied to analyze guidelines. The results showed that KRW reflects implications about the evolution of Javanese culture from oral tradition to written documentation, strategically incorporating Islamic concepts. Sunan Kalijaga (the author) boldly docu-mented KRW in writing, combining Islam with Javanese culture while maintaining its authenticity. Intertextuality in KRW shows integration between old traditions and new Islamic teachings, facilitating acceptance among Javanese society. KRW facilitates integration in complex cultures. This research was expected to give important implications that, oral literature, especially mantras, is one of the means that can be used as a medium of mysticism, and education.
