Keris is one of the objects of cultural heritage which to this day is still believed to have magical powers by
the people of Indonesia. Moreover, most especially Yogyakarta as one of the places Javanese community
which still holds the truth of a myth. The myth of magical powers in the keris is referred to as inheritance
that makes it one of the objects of cultural heritage at the same time Indonesia icon. The myth is trusted
and thrive in society is certainly not apart from the story of the origins and the making of keris. The origin
of keris is believed to derive from legends about an occurrence of Merapi mountain which tells how the
masters were forced to leave their places of usual fireplace that makes keris. While the procedures for the
making of keris must be done by a Master doing with special rituals, so keris is able to generate magical
powers according to what is desired by the author of the maker or keris Booker. The story of the origins
and the making of keris is so loaded will be magical powers and myth. Should the community not
immediately swallow stories are raw. But it should be sorted with a fervent sense of the word and the
philosophical meaning contained in the stories. Therefore, media-based learning online (e-book) this will in
detail giving the material to peel the meanings contained in the genesis and the making of keris. The
expectation with the presence of media study, public is no longer just approve the myth that developed in
the community. But rather to interpret the stories contained in the mystery of the inheritance of the keris.
By doing so, then presumably the preservation of indigenous culture which in this case Indonesia keris will
continue to be internalized in each generation of the community with regard to the meaning of important
naturally contained in the stories. |
