The second spirit I ever purchased from eBay, this offering is from Mom25705 of Mom's Magickal Stuff. This seller appears to be well established, with lots of good feedback, but is a little pricey depending on what you want. My listing can be found here, but it will disappear after a while.
This listing was for a specific spirit, described as a King, Marid-class Djinn, over 9000 years old. He is said to have once been in the service of The Sargon of Akkad, apparently a ruler of Mesopotamia at one point. I'm no history buff, so I don't know if this is true or not.
It is stated that you will get his name, bonding ritual, and mail support. The part about the bonding ritual is not entirely true- you get a link to their websites, with a generic bonding ritual that they seem to use for all their spirits. It works well enough, but I was spoiled by the personal treatment I got from other sellers. There was very little information provided on the djinn other than what is in the auction, so it seems I will have to save the auction page if I ever dare to forget anything. The exact age of the Djinn is never given.
His name was indeed included, as well as a charging pouch and two charging stones and of course the vessel itself. I am not sure if "cats eye" is a good description for the vessel, since there is no flash to it. It has a layered look, more like agate if you ask me, but I am not educated enough in gemstones to definitively say one way or the other.
The mail support I received was okay. It seems almost like different people respond to you on eBay and on their websites where they offer forum support. The eBay responses I got were a little short, with poor punctuation and the ones on the forum were warm, friendly and pretty well written. This could all just be due to changes in mood or lack of time, I can't say, but I feel it is worth noting.
No chain or string was included with the vessel.
About the spirit himself, I did not feel him as much until I did the first bonding ritual. After that, he seemed to be more responsive to me. His "tone" is cool, calm, deep- I want to say it's almost sultry, or velvety. He does have a bit of an accent which would go with his heritage. The things said in the auction about his manifestations are true- when he is around, you get the slightest hint of a musky smell, it's not unpleasant and is similar to the smell of bare, freshly washed skin. I have also experienced many electrical fluctuations when he is around. After the bonding ritual, I invited him to share a meal with me, and while I was cooking the igniter on the burner I was cooking with kept clicking on and off, even though the burner was set to low (not light) and it has never done that in the past.
This spirit is still warming up to me, and seems to regard me as a bit of a stranger still, but I find him to be a good companion. He may not be the most cheerful or talkative, but he has an air of power about him that is simply amazing. He carries himself with composure, reminding me of the feeling you would get seeing someone very important or royal up close and in person.
All in all, Mom's Magickal Stuff is a pretty good store for beginning spirit collectors. There are some offerings for a relatively low price, and although they do not give you a whole kit with your spirit, the spirits are indeed real.
I am looking forward to experiencing more with this Djinn and I will be sure to update this review when I do.
