===Creation===
{{self-contradictory|date=November 2022}}
Although most nearby villages have their own myths about the creation of Mount Merapi, they have numerous commonalities.
It is believed that when the gods had just created the Earth, [[Java]] was unbalanced because of the placement of Mount Jamurdipo on the west end of the island. In order to assure balance, the gods (generally represented by [[Batara Guru]]) ordered the mountain to be moved to the centre of Java. However, two armourers, Empu Rama and Empu Permadi, were already forging a sacred [[keris]] at the site where Mount Jamurdipo was to be moved. The gods warned them that they would be moving a mountain there, and that they should leave; Empu Rama and Empu Permadi ignored that warning. In anger, the gods buried Empu Rama and Empu Permadi under Mount Jamurdipo; their spirits later became the rulers of all mystical beings in the area. In memory of them, Mount Jamurdipo was later renamed Mount Merapi, which means "fire of Rama and Permadi."<ref name="Triyoga">{{cite book|title=Merapi dan Orang Jawa: Persepsi dan Kepercayaannya|last=Triyoga|first=Lucas Sasongko|year=2010|publisher=Gramedia Widiasarana Indonesia|location=Jakarta|language=id|pages=50–52}}</ref>    {{better source needed|date=November 2022}}
