Human life has two aspects, which are material and spiritual life. Both aspects have their own characteristics, because material aspect is tangible, but spiritual aspect is intangible. This article analyzes human's spiritual journey to understand God from Indonesian novel. The method used in this article is qualitative with narratology approach, specifically looking at the syntagmatic and paradigmatic relation in the text. The analysis explores structures of text, especially on the fantastic narrative and main characters in the story. Findings of the analysis show that fantastic narrative and main characters interpreted as allegory of human's spiritual journey in understanding God. Based on the context in Indonesia, believeing in God is very important because of the society life is closely related to spiritual or religious aspect. Besides society life, spiritual aspect is very close to personal's life in finding and strengthening the faith. Consequently, the theme of spiritual journey become essential in the life of society in Indonesia.

This article argues that Jane Eyre was both “witch” and witch-trialed. Her ability to perform “witchcraft” (within the framework of Victorian folklore) enabled her to endure and ultimately triumph over a litany of ordeals often associated with the witch-trials, namely, unjust accusations, societal and familial exclusion, poverty, abandonment, and physical and psychological abuse. She overcomes all obstacles with the help of heartfelt incantations (some spoken aloud, others silently willed), control of the elements (fire, water, storms, and moonlight feature prominently), innate occult abilities (extra-sensory perception and supernaturally sharp prescience), and the summoning of folklore and “familiars” (human, animal, spectral) to assist her along the way.
