Then she consulted her grandmother a chinese fortune teller whereas my wife , as muslima, consulted a famous local Ustad(islamic scholar). Both came to the same result that our shop has been cursed. The Ustad even specified that it was done with soil from a grave by a man. Our SPG remembered that one morning soil was spread over our shop floor. The advice from the fortune teller helped immediately , but only for 2 days. Whereas the recommended treatment from The Ustad, consecreted water, showed no resut at all, not even after weeks. Then suddenly a keris popped up somewhere and i thought why not give it a try, against the sceptism of my wife(!). I bought it which led to the purchase of 3 more and the business has been good ever since.

So and now close your eyes and sleep, tomorrow, if you are behave nice, pappa will tell you another story!

I know sounds weird, but here it is reality which no one doubts.
If you have been following Alan Maisey's thread "Things we cannot see" you may already understand that i do not dismiss such occurrences regarding the powers of the keris at all. This might be a discussion better had in that thread, but i do have some questions about this. My understanding of your story is that the keris you purchased for protection is an old keris, not one made specifically for you that might function in your life in this manner. I have no question that for whatever reason your business has improved since obtaining this keris. That said, however, i do question whether a person who purchases an old keris that was made with very specific intentions for a completely different person from a completely unassociated kinship group can access the power of that keris intended for a perfect stranger from a completely different time. From my perspective the powers of the keris are non-transferrable, unless, of course it is pusaka handed down in succession within a set kinship group. Since you do seem to have had some success with the improvement of your business since you purchased this keris it does make me wonder how much of that might simply be your own power of positive thinking rather that the magickal powers of an old keris that you have no real or intended connection to.
