Dear Mudi
You are very kind with me. My English are very bad..that is a sad truth, lol.

Thanks for the info, I believe your conversation with A. G. Maisey was very helpfull for all of us keris enthousiasts here.

I thank you both.

Hi all,

I would like to thank Mr. Maisey for his explaination. I belive what he mentioned is very true. If we believe a palace is haunted. I will become haunted.. for that particular individual.

Just to add. From what i read, other than an object for "storing" spirits, keris are also an object of storing prayers. Perhaps this is a post islamic view or shift of view. For instance, wayang also was given some islamic messages replacing the original hindu concept. I'm a bit sceptic about this, but i just fond an article describing how water can actually store messages.

Can metal store messages? :confused: That's one long lasting hard drive. :)
