Ancient Keris Artifacts & Antique Keris Weapons
The power of the Keris blade has fascinated man for thousands of years, however, the Keris is unique and the forces within it go far beyond that of metal honed to perfection. Even though the Keris looks to be a physical weapon, it is believed they were never made for combat, but for the sole purpose of being spiritual objects. Others believe that Keris’ were made to kill a particular enemy, and after this act of combat was complete, they were ‘retired’ and used for their supernatural and spiritual properties only.
Keris are highly sought after and collected by many, these keris blades have been produced across many regions of Indonesia for centuries. Originating in Java, Keris swords are not just seen as a weapon or accessory, but rather an important heirloom that has its own presence. It is tradition for Javanese grooms to wear a Keris adorned with chains of jasmine flowers as part of their wedding costume.
Mystical Paintings with Real Spirit Power
Some Keris spears have been crafted entirely as a mystical weapon with spiritual purposes, which is why they cannot be manufactured by ordinary blacksmiths. They are carefully created by specialist craftsmen called Empu, who not only have the skills of a metal forger but are also honoured with spiritual prowess which they confer on each weapon they make. As a result, Empu are highly revered in Indonesian society not only for their skills, but also for the specific spiritual natures they are able to bestow on each blade.
Combining raw, powerful reality with a spiritual energy that can be utilized for either good or evil, the Keris is an important force compared to other weapons with a similar physical nature. Once crafted, the mystical spirit of Khodams, Jinns or Genies is fed with the perfumes of either aromatic oils or incense to make it more powerful and develop. The different ways a Keris is used will reflect its powers, with some providing spiritual and black magick protection, whilst others are used to add great power to a ritual or rite.
