little kris

[A. G. Maisey]

Any keris can be a dukun keris, if it once belonged to a dukun.

But there are many types of dukun, they are not always the equivalent of a shaman, but can actually fulfil the role of a midwife and assist with a birth, or be practitioners of some form of natural medicine, or can foretell the future, or do remote viewing, or stop rain from falling --- or a heap of other things.

Mostly dukuns are good guys, a few are not so good, but to find a genuine black magic dukun these days is close to impossible. The ones who claim they are, are pretty much likely to be conmen.
