My Process:

I know my prices may seem a little expensive. So, I thought I would explain a bit about my process and what you, the keeper, get from my process.

 

• Custom Conjures can take up to a week to find, then they need to be vetted for up to 6 weeks. Their write-ups get written towards the end of their vetting and are 5 to 6 pages long.

• Preconjures are vetted for a total of 6 weeks before being listed.

• Bindings take me anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the entity and their power level and age.

• I do direct/soul bindings upon request as well as Distant bindings to a vessel of your choice. Shipping cost is removed.

• It can take me a few weeks to do the Preconjure write-up due to it being 6 pages long. I do not start their write-up until after their binding has been purchased.

• Bindings have levels of protection to protect the binding. The protections prevent anyone from messing with them. There is also a camouflage/veiling done to the binding to hide it from prying eyes. Bindings have a No Harm clause, this means no harm comes to you and no harm comes to the entity. Should abuse or harm happen, the binding undoes itself and the entity returns to their realm or to me.

• I do NOT offer deceased spirits. I only offer living entities.

• I offer replacement vessels should yours break or get lost. I can transfer the binding from the broken or lost vessel to a new one. This costs $65USD.

• I offer Unbound Entity readings; with this reading I can see what entity is around you, if they want to bind, and a bit about them like race, gender, rank, strengths and weaknesses, and some personality aspects.

​

Payment Plans

You and I set the payment plan up based on the time you need to pay your plan off. This can be 2 weeks up to a year. I’m willing to go for longer for those who truly need it. The payment amount is set to whatever you are able to do. I am always willing to work with someone.

 

Reserves

I also do reserves, which will be held as long as needed, unless the keeper ghosts the entity and I, then the entity’s listing will go back up should that entity want to continue looking for a keeper.

 

Questions

Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. I am willing to work with someone if their situation is complicated or tricky. I understand life happens and that won’t affect your payment plan or reserve. All I ask is that you keep me up to date on what’s going on so that we are in contact and I don’t think you have ghosted the entity and I.

Reasons To Become A Spirit Keeper

There are a plethora of reasons people keep spirits. Those that do it for companionship, protection for others, and some for more metaphysical progress and learning. Whatever the reason may be, it is something that feels right for you. If the feeling is one of being ready to take on the responsibility and work involved, then by all means, go for it! On the flipside, if you don’t, then it’s most likely you probably aren't ready on some level for it. Having said that, it is important to consider your reasons before you start. Yes, it would be an absolutely amazing thing to have friends that can do what your mundane friends cannot. Spirit Keeping is a lifelong commitment. This is not something that you can shrug off after it’s not ‘cool’ anymore, and it is not a fad. 

 

Spirit Keeping is a very rewarding experience. You gain endless knowledge from Spirit Keeping, with growth for yourself, and gain further insight on the perspective of others and views of the world and other worlds. Of course you have an obligation to work with these spirits and coexist with them. It is important to remember that when it comes down to it, there is a mutual benefit involved. It’s also incredibly fun. I don’t even like thinking about my life prior to being a Spirit Keeper and becoming a Conjurer. Taking in a companion can change your life in ways you expect and in ways you would never expect.

 

Before Starting, What Do I Need To Do?

There isn’t a lot to do when it comes to preparation. This practice is one where you could read every book, blog, and more- but what you would have read doesn’t truly apply/work when you’re confronted with the spirit itself. There are, however, a few things you can do to prepare yourself. The first, biggest, suggestion I can provide is Meditation and/or Energy Work to learn how to connect with your senses, the astral, and the higher self. The other suggestion would be to begin gathering some offerings or getting a system down for whatever spirit you’re bringing in.

 

As for preparations, what would you do? You could start with getting your living space as warm and welcoming as possible. You also need to consider and think of how long this spirit family will be with you- the rest of your mundane life is a long time. Make sure you think about that, because it can be a little overwhelming at first. Your living area will also be theirs while they are in this realm, so it’s best to try and think of ways to welcome them and coexist with them. It may also be prudent to learn some cleansing techniques for your space and set up some warding and protection before they arrive so that you are able to get them familiar with your warding.

 

What Should Be Considered?

As I have said- this is a LIFELONG COMMITMENT. When you’re looking at companions, do your due diligence and make sure you do your research. Look at the race descriptions, use google and other resources like Wikipedia or Occult World, and when all else fails? Ask the Conjurer! The Conjurer will have knowledge and insight that they don’t always share or post on the race description, particularly exclusive races. This applies to everything regarding your new family member- ask the questions, see their powers and capabilities, determine if you would task them or not (and if so, how). A reputable conjurer should be able to give you solid advice on the spirit and how they can benefit you while they also figure out who will actually be helpful for you or a great start. Also consider the Conjurer themselves. Your Conjurer is providing a service of making sure your companion is safe to work with, and if you’re not sure what to think, talk to other customers who have taken home companions from the Conjurer. Do not forget to ask around for genuine experiences with the Conjurer and/or the spirits from that Conjurer. Reviews on a third party location or talking to other practitioners can also be very helpful and telling. Do not make fast decisions when it comes to your first. That is something best taken with time and care.

 

Can Companions Actually Help With Health Problems?

To an extent, yes. There is no metaphysical replacement for medical professionals though, and you should not stop treatments you are receiving when you take a spirit into your home. Companions aren’t necessarily able to fully cure mundane illnesses; they can, however, ease the pain or help you calm yourself energetically and mentally. Always remember to take their capabilities and abilities into account and how they would react with your condition. There is the chance for a bad combination of energies that can negatively affect you and how you live.

 

It’s always best to bring up any conditions with your conjurer, because they may have a better recommendation of what spirits would be a better fit based on what you are suffering with (depression, anxiety, fibromyalgia, etc.) and what would work or not work well with you. Always take their opinion into consideration in these instances because they do have a deeper understanding of the races they work with than you do. Yes, this is a part of the previously mentioned research, but it’s a crucial part.

 

How Do I Know What Companion Is Right For Me?

There is no definitive way to really know. You can do all the research in the world and still take home the wrong companion. Having said that! If it doesn’t feel right, chances are that it isn’t. Part of the process is trusting yourself and your conjurer. Carefully take everything into consideration when making your decisions. If this is your first time taking in a companion, make sure you read everything about their policies, shipping, bindings, and ask questions so that you can be well-informed. Any Conjurer worth their salt, and reputable, should happily answer questions with professionalism and kindness. 

 

When considering what companion to bring home; if you still can’t determine which is the best way to go, explain your situation and thoughts to the Conjurer you’re interested in. There is the possibility they may suggest a reverse adoption, which is where the spirit picks you, instead of you picking a spirit.

 

I Think I Have a Calling? How Do I Know For Sure?

The types of callings that exist are nigh limitless. Pinning down exactly how it feels is not easy to put into words. Consider the timing of what you believe to be a calling. A lot have the personal experience where that can’t get thoughts of a potential companion from their mind, seeing hints of that spirit (certain animals, symbols of that spirit, sensations of energies that are not your own, the feeling of being observed but not creepy, shadow play, head buzzing, brief ringing in one ear, brief deafness in one ear, specific music/songs, tech glitching like winking screens, and many many more.) Anything that constantly brings you back to thinking about taking in a potential companion or returns your attention to a Conjurer’s website, constantly checking, reading, and looking at the races and reverse adoptions. While it may feel weird or strange at first, it will feel right once you acknowledge the call and reach out to your Conjurer. That rightness will strengthen and bloom once the companion arrives home to you. It will not feel wrong, displacing, or intrusive. It will feel right to have them in your life. You have to have trust in your feelings and intuition. And if the timing isn’t right; not enough money, practicing in secret, etc, maybe it is something to revisit at a later time. 

 

A Spirit I Felt Called Went Home With Someone Else. How Can I Trust My Instincts For A Calling?

You can still trust your instinct fully. Spirits often send out several different calls to different people for a better chance of finding their human companion, while others don’t really send out callings but their energy compliments yours so well that reaching out provides that your energy will mesh pleasantly.

 

There are also cases where you may not be called to a certain potential companion, but another member of that race is calling through the spirit that was brought to your attention previously. If you’ve missed out on a spirit, you can always ask the conjurer if they are able to bring forth another spirit of that race, that is because more often than not, it will be the spirit that you were originally feeling the calling from. 

 

Something important to remember is that things do happen for a reason. If you missed a companion, maybe you were not meant to meet them but instead another in their place. Your attention was drawn to that particular race or spirit for a reason. It could be a message that there is someone for you in that shop, realm, or race that wants to come forth and help. Don’t despair for missing one potential companion, they were meant to be with someone else. 

 

Why Are Companion Conjure Shops so Expensive? What Am I Actually Paying For?

The companion is not owned by the conjurer, and no the vessel is not that expensive. We do not charge for the entity itself, but for the work we do. The first step of conjuring is to open the portal and pull the entity forward, then we have to make sure the companion is safe to work with. This is the most important part of being a Conjurer, making sure all parties (spirit, keeper, and Conjurer) are safe. 

 

We vet the spirits, spending the necessary time with each one of them to learn what we can before we pass them on to the keeper where the bond was formed. Some spirits are more work to pull through and take more energy to work with, which takes more time. And that is why the prices are different. Others may need a more complex binding to make sure that things are even on all sides and no one has more power than the other. In short, you’re not buying the spirit, but the work that the Conjurer has put into the binding.

 

What Is The Difference Between a Vessel Binding and a Distance Binding?
To put it simply, a vessel binding is where the companion chooses amongst the available vessels the Conjurer has. Then the Conjurer does the binding and sends the vessel to you. A distance binding is when you choose the vessel yourself and the Conjurer does the binding to the vessel.

 

How Do I Bond With My Companion?

The ways in which to bond with your companion are endless. Whether your senses have picked up on them or not, take some time to invite them to join you on your adventures- they do not have to be grand, it could be as simple as watching TV, going to work, taking a walk, etc. You can also take time to give offerings as a good bonding time, or the tried and true method of meditation. Most importantly, talk to them. Even if you can’t hear or interpret the responses, tell them about your day, if something is bothering you and what it is, how you feel, what you ate- the sky's the limit here. They are your friends, companions, and more. You definitely want to treat them as such and become closer. Do what you would do with your mundane friends. In the end it will pay off.

 

How Do I Communicate With My Companion?

Divination is one of the most effective methods in communicating with your companion. Yes, even if you can’t see or hear them yet. There are a multitude of options; tarot, pendulum, shufflemancy, tasseomancy, pyromancy, etc. The most popular are tarot, pendulum, and shufflemancy. Please be careful when doing your divination work, set up protection so that you know for sure that you are speaking to your companion versus unknowingly speaking to a trickster or malignant entity.

 

Tarot has always been popular, some people even use phone apps instead of physical decks if they have to be secretive. The Pendulum is likely to be the second most used method of divination and communication. It’s used easily with yes/no questions and you can use a pendulum board with letters and numbers. It takes some practice to get comfortable with pendulum work, so don’t give up. Make sure to cleanse your tarot and pendulum before and after each use. 

 

Shufflemancy is the third most popular and by far one of the more entertaining and fun ways of communication. Essentially, you create a playlist specifically set up for shufflemancy, make sure it’s a rather long playlist with a minimum of 50 songs, you want to give them ample choices and a wide variety of moods and genres. Then you load your playlist, ask them a question, put the playlist on shuffle and learn the answers with each song that comes through. You can use several songs or just one depending on what you are doing or the type of conversation you are having. You can ask them to choose a song after five, two, eight, however many shuffles.

 

I Think My Vessel Is Empty? There’s No Sign Of My Companion!

Slow down, take a few deep breaths, and have patience. Particularly if you are new to Spirit Keeping and Spirit Work. You are learning a new path of magick, it can be hard to pick up on manifestations or signs that they are around. There is also shy spirits that can be hard to hear at first. Always give it a minimum of two months before you begin to claim that the vessel is empty, especially if you’re talking to anyone other than the Conjurer. Always contact the Conjurer first, let them know your concerns and what has or has not been going on. You can ask if there is anything you can do to speed the bonding process beyond any instructions already given by that Conjurer. Just like humans, every entity is different.

 

I’m Being Told My Vessel Is Empty Or Something Is Wrong With It!

Again, slow down and take a few deep breaths. Many Conjurers place protections on their bindings to prevent others from seeing or messing with the bindings. For my bindings, I veil them so that only the keeper and spirit can actually feel the binding out, but adjustments can’t be made to it unless I personally do it to protect both the keeper and companion. Most Conjurers also place protections to keep people from poking, prodding, and digging into the vessel. So much so, that if someone tries hard enough the binding will break and the companion will return to the Conjurer. This is in an effort to prevent tampering and for the safety of both the keeper and companion.

 

If you feel like your vessel is empty or someone tells you it is, as always; talk to the Conjurer! Otherwise, you may get scammed, pulled into a rabbit hole of drama, and lose a companion because of it. Do empty vessels get sent? Yes, it does happen. It is very rare that it should occur, and 99% of the time it was merely an accident.

 

Do Companions Like Offerings? What Offerings Do I Give?

Offerings are another form of bonding with your companion. You give your companion gifts, just as with working with any Divinity, of what they like. This can be a wide range of things from foods, liquids, crystals, herbs, plants, candles, incense, hair, blood, small items you think/know they would enjoy, art work, etc. These things should be stored on a small or large, it is your choice, altar for your companion. As with working with any Divinity or Entity, they get their own space dedicated to them that is separate from other altars and from your own belongings.

 

I Feel Like I Waste Food And Liquid Offerings?

These types of offerings are primarily for the companion to take the energy from the food or liquid. Rather than physically consuming the food itself. It is always best to check with your companion first on how they would like their perishable offerings to be disposed of or if you can eat/drink the offering once they have taken the energy from it.

 

I Haven’t Worked/Talked/Bonded With My Companion In A While, Do They Hate Me?

Not in the slightest. Just like our realm, everyone has their own life and their life comes first before everything else. Your companion understands you may not be feeling well, or get busy, or just don’t have time, perhaps something else is going on for you like depression or another mental illness issue. Entities understand these things and do not get easily offended, hurt, or angered. They have their lives too, they are not with you 24/7, 365 days. They will return to their home, attend to their own duties/jobs/families/etc. 

 

So long as you make an effort to reconnect when things are calmer or better in your physical life. Even during times of stress or lack of bonding, they were still be around. Sometimes simply acknowledging their presence and giving them the freedom to follow you around and observe your physical life is enough and can be a bonding experience in and of itself.

 

If you truly feel that you have let them down or feel guilt, sincerely apologize to them. They are very understanding beings, generally, and will accept the apology with little issue. Perhaps give them a new offering as well, just to help the reconnection and bonding link.

 

I Lost My Vessel Or It Broke! What Now?

More deep breaths, it’s going to be okay. Losing your vessel is a common problem, whether it’s your companion trying to mess with you or convey a message (wanting a new vessel, not wanting to bond that day, etc), or a bit of careless placement, it’s easily taken care of. Contact the Conjurer and ask them what their process is for transmuting the binding to a new vessel. Majority of the time the Conjurer will do it themselves or give you something called a vessel transfer bag/box/etc so that you are able to do it yourself with their help. It’s an easily fixed issue and nothing to feel shame, guilt, or embarrassment over.
