Michael: Yes, they are definitely serve some type of talismanic function. I can just imagine the stir it would create, showing up at a mosque with a kris!!!!!!..........Dave. Spunjer: This seems to another variation on the same theme. I'm sure that as time goes on we will see even more of these kinds of inlays..........Dave.

Dave, you leave the kris in your car and first talk to the raqi ("exorcist") about it. Then later you can bring it (wrapped) when he has confirmed his interest to read on it. Who knows, having a (confirmed) jinni residing in one's blade is perhaps a value bonus, like having a good provenance?
However, I once tested to bring the same two keris (a really old Javanese and a keris sajen) to three different exorcists (general new age, spiritualist/theosophical and ritual magic). All of them felt more "energies" in the sajen but they had different interpretations of what kind of energy that was residing in it. Michael |
