Thank you, Raja Muda, for your comments and your welcome. I, too, would welcome the knowledge of a Wong Jawa.
To clarify, is it widely believed that all keris have an inner anima (something imbued when the empu crafts it)? I'm trying to understand if there's a distinction between a "regular" keris and one that might have a "hantu" (for lack of a better word). I always thought there was, but now I'm not so certain. Specifically, would you say that "khadam" and "hantu" can exist together in a blade?
That's very interesting what you said about chi and having the blade's energy assessed by a Qigong master.
I have another question: if one wanted their keris assessed for energy by an empu, how possible would this be? (Would the assessment be best done by an empu; I'm assuming.) I imagine true empus are not so easy to find these days.
Again, my thanks.
