[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 836532, member: 2844"]If you are sensitive to things spiritual/mystical, you can feel it. Otherwise ask someone who is. Old keris are filled, but often dormant until someone 'awakens' them.;) Remember, they come from a culture where realities cross over into one another. The 'supernatural' is just natural in Indonesia. To many people even in modern hi-tech Indonesia. It can happen afterwards as well, by a Dukun, a Shaman. That is the way it was done when a keris was made by a 'regular' keris smith, one who wasn't a mystic himself. The true Empu Keris, or master keris smith, was such a mystic. Because a good keris can only be made under auspicious circumstances and when an Empu has fasted, meditated, and generally prepared him/herself spiritually, it could take years before a good keris was finished.[/QUOTE]
