Nothing fires the imagination as much as the idea of faeries and elves. Unfortunately in our search for the modern life, we have grown insensitive to the nuances of nature. We have built boundaries and we guard ourselves from that which we do not understand.

It has become easy to assume that we know all about the world. After all, we have touched all corners, we have explored the oceans and we have traveled into space. And yet more and more we hear of the search for realms and lands that formed our ancient myths and legends. Humanity is discoverying that many of our myths and legends are founded in truth. This is why they still intrigue and fascinate. They touch a primal chord.

Information regarding the ethereal realms is plentiful and found in every part of the world. Whetehr called Tir Nan Og, Neverland, Eden or Avalon, Hesperides, Elysium, Em Haim or Middle Earth–from the ancient Sumerians to the ancient Greeks–the existence of other realms side by side with ours is an estalbished belief. The information though is not always verifiable. And maybe this is as it should be, for when life loses all of its mystery, it loses all of its vitality as well.

Most of what we do know of the faerie realm comes through stories, tales, poetry and song. Clairvoyants, mystics and seers are also traditional sources. In truth, the awakening to these realms is available to all with a little knowledge, effort and perception. The realm of faeries is only as far away as we allow it to be.

Whether in the form of myths, legends or even faerie tales, such teachings are often not seen for what they truly are. Such allegories reflect greater truths and awarenesses. They are all ever-becoming. They inspire us to the call of the quest–the quest to find our spiritual essence and how best to reverence itwithin the physical. Such quests are calls to adventure, but they also reflect times of growing and maturing–times of initiation into higher mysteries.

By aligning ourselves with poignant myths and mysteries, our psyche opens. We chase away our boogiemen and we see better in the dark. And that which expands our awareness and perceptions and opens us to greater possibilities can only be of benefit to our lives. By opening ourselves to the possibilities of a faerie realm we invite color, creativity and enchantment back into our lives. And we are blessed by it.

Folklore research reveals that people all over the world believe in rare creatures, both superior and subhuman. Some believe them to be less than gods and more than human. Some believe them to be the spirits of the dead. Others see them as remnants of a race of beings older than humanity. Still others see them as part of an angelic or devic kingdom, working through their own form of evolution.

There are always those who will simply say that this is just the “stuff of fiction.” They will say that it is all of the imagination. No scientific data exists. That it is a fool’s quest. That it is even the work of the devil.

Humans have a tendency toward smugness. We like to believe we are the highest and the only form of intelligent life. In a universe as vast as that which we live in, such an attitude is arrogant. Just as there are many forces in the universe that we do not yet understand, so there are also dimensions and beings of life that we do not yet recognize or understand.

There will always be those who fear contact with any being or energy outside the physical plane. Usually, the ones most vehement about it also fear contact with other humans outside of their race, sex and religion. What one fears, one will often deny and try to destroy.

In a universe of infinite energies and life forms, anything whcih expands our awareness and brings joy to our life can only be a benefit. By opening ourselves to the possibility first and then the realization of actuality, we open ourselves to all the wonders of the world waiting to be explored. We open ourselves to the mysteries of life. We have greater opportunity for fulfillment, prosperity and joy within our individual life expressions.

The world still holds the ancient enchantment. It hints of journeys into unseen and unmapped domains. There was a time when the distances between our world and those we consider “imaginary” were no further than a bend in the road. Each cavern and hollow tree was a doorway to another world. Humans recognized life in all things. The streams sang and the winds whispered ancient words into the ears of whoever would listen. Every blade of grass and flower had a tale to tell. In the blink of an eye, one could explore worlds and seek out knowledge that enlightened life. Shadows were not just shadows and woods were not just trees and clouds were not just pretty. There was life and purpose in all things and there was loving interaction between the worlds.

Now we no longer see with a child’s eyes. Instead we laugh and scoff at those who do. Because of this the “blessed ones” have retreated. The abuses we impose on nature and on each other appall them, and though curious about humans, they avoid contact.

However, no world dies completely. Those ancient worlds still exist, though the doorways to them are more obscure. Now we must seek them out. There are still noble adventures to undertake. There are still pots of gold at the end of rainbows, but they must be searched out and won.

I believe in faeries and elves. I believe in trees that speak and caverns that lead to nether realms. I know there are dragonsand princesses and wisdom in all things. I have seen angels and devas and beings working with us in all things. My world is full of color and joy and wonder.

Every soul has a purpose, but sometimes we get so lost within our day-to-day activities that our lives pass with little purpose and even less joy. At such times, the soul–through its connection with the divine–attempts to remind us that something is missing. The realm of faeries reminds us to keep joy and creativity alive.

AS WE OPEN TO NEW EXPERIENCES, WE WILL CHANGE, AND THOSE CLOSEST TO US AND USED TO US BEHAVING ALONG CERTAIN LINES WILL FEEL WE ARE NO LONGER RECOGNIZABLE. THIS IS DISTURBING TO OTHERS BECAUSE WE ARE NOT WHO WE ONCE WERE. YES, SUCH EXPERIENCES CAN BE DIVISIVE TO THE SELF, BUT THIS IS OFTEN A GOOD THING. WE ARE NOT REFERRING TO A SPLIT PERSONALTY DISORDER, BUT RATHER WE ARE REFERRING TO A DIVISION FROM THAT OLD, STALE DAILY RITUAL OF LIFE AND THE OPENING TO NEW CREATIVE POSSIBILITIES.

The human essence is a wondrous thing. We are multi-dimensional and we have an energy system that enables us to perceive and respond on many levels–physical and otherwise. Unfortunately, most people become locked into a routine and a life pattern that becomes safe, automatic and has little room for anything out of the ordinary. Most do not want to know about or experience the possibilities of life and energies beyond the obviously physical.

The faeries and elves are Mother Nature’s children. They are as many sided as nature itself. They vary in size and form and personality. They are not bound to the material precepts we often like to impose. With all of the evidence and all of the information that comes from tales, it is hard–if not impossible–to create a theory that unites them all. They are too diverse and we must ask ourselves, “Do they need to be organized and united?”

Like everything about faeries and elves, the sources of their names are ambiguous. The term “faerie” seems to be derived from the Latin fatum or fate, in recognition of the skill faeries had in predicting and even controlling human destiny. In France, “feer” referred to the faeries’ ability to alter the world that humans saw–to cast a spell over human vision. From “feer” came not only “fee” but the English word, “faerie,” which encompassed both the art of enchantment and the whole realm in whichfaeries had their being. “Fairy” and “fay”—other derivatives of the parent word==referred only to individual creatures.

A common English term for an individual faerie was “elf”, this came from the Scandinavian and Teutonic traditions and languages. In Scandinavia, the word for “elves” was “alfar,” which could reflect any spirit of the mountains, forest and waters. This is quite appropriate since we generally link elves and faeries with all things of the natural world.

The “good people” as they are sometimes called, held an important position in the world when each tree had a name and every deer was recognized, known and even called by name. They were numerous and very powerful. They played an important role in everyday life. Humans were not the supreme rulers of the physical world. There were many beings in many forms–often equal to humans in cunning, strength and power.

Many worked and lived together with humans. We had more of an instinctual and intuitive connection to all life. They assisted in helping us with crops. they taught us lunar and solar cycles of planting. Eventually though humans quit listening. As the natural world became tamed, the faeries it sheltered became more elusive.

Humans established boundaries and structures. For the faeries this meant trouble. They are beings to which time was not defined–nor was nature. As forests were claimed and cleared, so began the withdrawal of the faeries. Then with the rise of Christianity, belief and recognition in these other forms of life were discouraged.

Humans cut the links that tied them to the real world of faeries. In the past, song, praise and prayers were used to keep the links strong to the forces of nature. Today thisis not done. Although the saying of grace before a meal is a remnant of those ancient rituals, it is not enough. When we lose our connections, things die. And the same is true of those more ethereal realms. Many of the tales associated with mischievous and cruel pranks by them (i.e. turning milk sour, etc.) reflect their response to the abuse and neglect of humans toward them and their habitats.

Many doors have closed. Some in the faerie realm have withdrawn entirely. They left with the woods. Some have adapted to human life. Others are to beound wherever nature is alive and active. Still others have gone deep underground. there are still house sprites and brownies and dark elves are often found in basements and attics. Every tree and flower still has its spirit. Every woods has its “lady of the woods.” Trolls can be seen occasionally in ditches and hanging frommetal gratings and the underside of bridges. Where nature is freest and most wild, faeries and elves are most numerous.

Today the faerie realm is not so accessible. The shadow lands still lie hidden in the countryside, but never are they clearly seen. Any opening in sea or land may mark the borders of enchantment. This can be a whirlpool, lake, cavern or well. It may be a bend in the road or an intersection of two paths. Though the entrances are elusive, they can be discovered.

Children, poets, seers and healers often find them without realizing. Those with second sight and humans at peace and in tune with natural surroundings will have access to thse realms and the beautiful beings within them.

Look for those doors and open yourself to the joys of the faerie realm!!

Before the rumors start flying around I thought it best to write everyone and tell them why we have nothing listed with eBay right now.

On Saturday we received an eBay notice stating that some of our listings were removed because the New York Fantasy Gaming Society had submitted a NOIC to VeRO saying we were infringing on their copyright.

I responded to the eBay notice asking how I might get in touch with the New York Fantasy Gaming Society to find out what they believed I was infringing upon. They supplied me with an anonymous email account through Yahoo.

I have written this anonymous account twice and have received no reply. According to eBay I must give them 5 business days to respond to my inquiry and if they do not write back to me I can then continue to file a Counter Notice with eBay stating that I believe my listings were removed in error.

In total eBay removed more than 10 listings at the behest of the NOIC form faxed in by the New York Fantasy Gaming Society. I removed the other 990 listings to prevent my eBay account from being suspended because of the large number of listings being removed by eBay抯 VeRO department.

According to eBay they do not know how I infringed on the New York Fantasy Gaming Society抯 copyright. They do not investigate nor validate these faxes when they are sent to eBay. They take the fax from the machine, hand it to a VeRO employee who then removes the listings as they are recorded on the faxed document. They do not read my listings and they do not try to call the complaining party to find out why they are sending the fax.

Furthermore even though I am given the email address for the New York Fantasy Gaming Society they do not have an obligation to respond to me and tell me how I infringed their copyright.

So basically anyone can fax a form to eBay抯 VeRO department, they will take the listings down. They will continue to remove your listings until you fix the problem?but they won抰 tell you what the problem is and the only way to get a copy of the fax to see what you are being accused of is to obtain a subpoena. I have spoken with eBay through multiple phone calls and emails and they have assured me that there isn抰 any way I am going to find out what I抳e been accused of without a subpoena.

To me this seems like a fantastic way to get rid of the competition. You can fax a form to eBay and let eBay aid you in your quest to eliminate the competition. eBay will remove the seller抯 listings and not give them any just reason and because you can抰 know what you抮e being accused of without a subpoena (and most people aren抰 going to spend the time and money to hire a lawyer) then you can fill out the form, lie your guts out about owning the rights to a copyright and no one will ever be the wiser because eBay doesn抰 take the time to validate what is written on the faxed form. So even though you are signing a legal document who would catch you in the act of perjury? No one unless they obtain a subpoena.

At this point we抮e more than reasonably sure that this is a competing seller that has done this and after speaking to a few government offices and legal officials they too feel pretty confident that since there is no record of this organization in New York State that this fax is a fraud.

I spoke with the Department of State, the United States Copyright Office, the United States Trademark Office and two attorneys today who cannot find any trace of the New York Fantasy Gaming Society ever existing. So we will see how this plays out.

At some point this harassment has to come to an end. Many of you have been keeping up to date on all of this in the forums and for those of you who haven抰 we, and other sellers, have been repeatedly harassed and bullied on eBay, on the internet, through email, have had our collectors contacted and discrediting lies told to these collectors, and a mound of other issues. I have never seen a level of harassment like this before and that is why we抳e decided to pursue this to the hilt, someone has to stand up to people of this low caliber.

We抣l let everyone know about our intent at a later date, and of course you can join the forum and be kept up to date every day.

FENG SHUI is a rapidly growing “way of life” so many people are discovering. Water fountains/features are an excellent way to bring harmony into your home as well as a wonderful way to reduce stress, promote relaxation and simply give your home or office “atmosphere”. I have several fountains in every room in my house as well as many outdoor features~honestly~they work! I do have advice for those looking to purchase the most effective and promising fountains as there are so many different kinds with so many features. When searching for yours~you may want to see if it is battery or electric, in order to insure placement where you want it…also inquire if it is continuous running or is it sound or movement activated. Some of these also not only give you a soothing water sound but will also fill your home with other sounds such as wind, birds, wildlife and music.Some have misting effects, special lighting and create “aura”. There are so many features that can be suited to just your style~they can be simple or extravagant in design and create a setting that will dramatic improve your setting. Fountains are also excellent for medicinal reasons as well! I have so many because of chronic pain from an accident which has me on regular medications~with water fountain, they do wonders to reduce stress and create unmeasurable advances in meditation and relaxation. It is proven that stress can increase your pain and also blood pressure and heart issues~~water features have helped me control and reduce pain, as well as induce deeper meditation levels. This is HUGE for anyone facing these issues and I STRONGLY recommend trying them..they have certainly made a big difference in my day to day life!

Did I mention that these can also add a sensual romantic atmosphere?! What a way to set a mood!

The # 1 question I get from clients and shoppers alike is “Is it real?” The it they are talking about is haunted, charmed or blessed jewelry, jewelry that falls under the broader category of Energetic Jewelry. I can’t say yes or no to this question but we can have a conversation about the concept of haunted items and in this conversation I think you will come to a better understanding of what an energetic piece is and what it is not.

First I can say that no piece of jewelry no matter the energy that it carries, holds, captures or emits, can harm you in any way. No piece of jewelry no matter the energy that it carries, holds, captures or emits, can cure you either. Now that may seem controversial but I stand behind it. Jewelry is jewelry, something used for adornment, sometimes universally symbolic such as engagement rings, wedding bands, crosses. Other times it may be personally symbolic, a school ring, a championship ring, a 100% attendance pin.

Without any other energy being attached to these kinds of pieces they have a great affect on you. I remember receiving a lapel pin, a goldtone dollar sign, early on in my professional career in sales and marketing. The pin was given to me at an exclusive after meeting dinner event during a trade show in Las Vegas. The presentation was simple, a man walked across the room and stood in front of me and while everyone there watched he took the pin off his lapel and pinned it onto my blouse. He never said a word, he just smiled and the party went on. From that moment on I was transformed in my professional life ~ the people in that room who witnessed this knew they had witnessed something big. You see the man was the President of a large corporation, I was the inside administrator in a company that represented his products on the East Coast. The company I worked for was small and insignificant in the overall scheme of business. But I had done something, I had gone beyond the norm to produce articles, publicity, manuals and special promotions for his products and so I had received the coveted invite to the dinner and now I was pinned, by the President’s own pin, a pin worn by those few who had earned their way into the President’s Performers Club.

Who I became that day was a new person. From that point on other people in the industry saw me differently, they experienced me differently. Whenever I showed up to a meeting wearing this pin some folks would recognize it and the whispers would begin. People I did not know walked up to me, introduced themselves to me, offered their assistance to me, and asked my opinion and sometimes for my help. It was amazing.

This pin, although made only as a decorative piece of jewelry, costume promotional jewelry, not 14k gold, not even gold plated, was one of the strongest energetic pieces I have ever worn. This pin represented something extraordinary to masses of people, literally hundreds in my field, and as I wore it during some of my most successful trainings and seminars, it took on more and more significant energies over time. And this is the concept of an energetic piece.

When you see listings on and other places for haunted items, you are always looking at an energetic piece but you may be looking at a magickal piece, a charmed piece, a blessed piece. The distinctions aren’t clear for all. Fundamentally they are: magickal haunted pieces were made by or belonged to folks who practiced the art of magick or were in the craft, some form of witchcraft. Don’t let the idea of witchcraft frighten you - today witchcraft is a government recognized religious group that has the same no-tax status of other religions. It took many years and much blood, sweat, tears and prayers for this to be accomplished, so kudos to all those who paved the way for religious freedom.

Haunted pieces are said to carry some of the energy, perhaps even part of the spirit, of the person who made it or owned it. Strong personal energy can and does imbue itself onto and into its surroundings including jewelry, clothes, and other belongings. This does not mean the new owner will be a witch, will inherit or gain any extraordinary talents or powers that the prior owner had, will be haunted or bothered by the piece or anything like that. What it does mean is that the piece carries a vibration that is so constant and strong that people who are not in the craft can benefit from the energy without having to be part of the craft. In other words, a ring from a witch, a healer, a shaman, or other person of focused power, will carry its energy with it and the new owner will benefit from that energy. How they benefit is varied, depending on their own personal energies and how much they know about how to work with the energy in the piece.

Charmed pieces are pieces that have been intentionally designed and / or treated to carry a specific energy. Whereas the haunted piece is carrying the overall impression and power energy of the prior person, charmed pieces are made to carry specific types of energy. The type can be almost anything, from a lucky charm to one to attract a lover, for money, for wealth, to heal, to ward off evil, and so on.

A blessed piece is probably the most recognized kind of energetic. My first communion cross is one of my dearest blessed pieces (for those who have read Energetic Jewelry you see the photo and yes, it’s lost to me.) You can take any piece of jewlery and have it blessed, and wearing jewelry on you when being blessed also energizes the piece. I used to go to the blessing of the animals at St John the Divine in NYC and often wore multiple pieces of jewelry so that they would carry this wonderful energy of the blessings and love between man and our animal friends. Now I wear a sterling silver bracelet with red string from Israel ~ and I wear it on my left wrist. This piece is blessed and it is symbolic.

All these kinds of energetics are meant to serve you, we are not meant to serve them. Part of their energy is inherent in the materials they are made of, from wood to metal, plastic to clay. Part of it comes from the design, crosses, circles, spheres, all carry specific vibrations. Some is symbolic which may change over time. The supporting materials also make a difference, gems, stones, rocks, minerals, crystals as does color. Rings are the most intimate of all pieces, and usually are the most intense energies. Bracelets are wonderful and the nice thing about them is that they can be worn on right or left side in most cases and this too affects the energy. Right side bridges the energy flow between you and the outter world; left side protects the energy flow between you and inner world. For instance if wearing a ring or bracelet that is meant for healing work, you would wear on right side when engaged in healing work with others, on the left side if you are feeling down or in need of a healing for yourself.

Plastic and wood are valued as energetic pieces. Now that may have surprised you. There’s a great history on gypsy pieces, where the gypsies hid their gold and used fake gold and plastics to wear so that they would not be robbed or have their valuables taken by authorities as they traveled between towns and villages. Over time it is said that their fake pieces became more powerful than the hidden treasures and soon they were known for their good luck coin bracelets, belts, skirts and hair dressings. I have a few gypsy pieces as my maternal great grandmother was from Spain, full gypsy blood line.

Wood is a great medium for these kinds of pieces as it is the one elemental that is alive - fire, air, water are not the same. Of these four only wood occurs in our world where it grows and can die. This makes wood a great material to hold and grow energy over time, even when it has been taken from its roots and fashioned into jewelry or art.

Plastic is nice because it can only hold a single kind of energy, and cannot interact with other pieces. This makes it a great medium for first energetic pieces, for jewelry that can be worn often and mixed with other items, and for beginners pieces when one is learning to charge an item and create an energetic piece.

So this is my best nswer to “Is it real”? The jewelry is real. The energy is real. And you are real. As real as reality can be in a world where anything is possible and new possibilities are being created moment to moment. I hope that this conversation helped you a bit, that in some small way gives you a context for thinking about haunted charmed energetic pieces. More than adornment, jewelry can be a part of your everyday life in a way that can support you in thriving in your own life, something I am committed to offering to as many folks as I can.

In light, Jaye

OK, first of all, I would not ever wish to offend anyone. Now, that’s out of the way, I do wish to set the record straight on a few things about Traditionalist Wiccans and Pagans.

Pagan is a generic term for any non-judeo/christian religion. Wicca is a philosophy. A lot of pagans call themselves ‘Wiccan’ and unfortunately, their understanding of Wicca is uninformed and influenced by TVand/or movies like the TV series Charmed or the movie The Blair Witch Project and so forth.

A lot of the young (and some not so young) people we used to call nonconformists are enamored of the mystique of Wicca and Paganism, and the Hollywood folk make it seem so neat! Why not? Right? I mean, if you do it right, you can hex someone who has pissed you off or done you wrong, and think of all the spells you can cast!! NO!

Traditionalist Wicca

Traditionalist Wicca is one of the kindest, most loving, accepting philosophies of any. The first tenet of Wicca is Do no Harm! I think it is probably where Hippocrates got it - yes, Wicca is that old. In fact, it is even older. At best guess (no written history - have to go by pictographs), Wicca is over 8000 years old. The Wiccan philosophy contains the basic core of every religion in the world - past and present. All you have to do is read a little, and you will find the core concepts of all of them - all from long before they came into being. Yes, it’s pieced together from old pictographs, but then, so are most of our oldest historic documents, aren’t they?

Anyway - got off the point. Wicca states that above all, there is The One, and there may be legions of lesser deities (saints, gods, goddesses, prophets, etc) who serve The One and who are ultimately answerable to The One. I do not assign any gender to The One. I don’t really think that is relative or possible, for that matter. Wiccans have several of the lesser deities they ‘talk’ to regularly, and the top of the list is the Bright Lady or the Mother. Mainly, they refer to the creative force as Mother. This will often translate to Earth Mother and some Wiccans say Earth Magic. Wiccans believe that you should care for all living things. If you don’t, if you disrespect life, it will bite you on the ass. Makes sense, take care of Mother and Mother will take care of you, right? Sometimes we carry it a bit further, and follow what some of the Native Americans teach, and thank the animals we harvest for food. We thank them for their sacrifice that we might live, and ask their spirit to tell the Mother that we respect her and her creatures. We don’t kill unless we have to - to survive. Should we have to kill - to end the suffering of a wounded animal, for instance, and not for food - we apologize to the animal first and ask the Mother to care for the spirit of the animal and speed its time of the wheel of life and return it to its next life with love. Then we help speed its spirit to the Mother rapidly and with mercy.

Nothing says being a Traditionalist Wiccan should interfere with any religion you care to practice. As I keep saying, it is a philosophy. One thing Wiccans are not is evil, or Satanic devil worshippers. The very concept is totally contrary to our philosophy. We do not ‘cast spells’ or ‘hexes’ or the like. We do heal. Think of it anyway you wish. My husband calls it the power of prayer. I cannot see that in any way as evil or against God - by whatever name you call The One.

Pagans

Today’s ‘Pagans’ or ‘New Age Wiccans’ as they style themselves, believe in spells, hexes and yes, blood magic. That is their way, and as much as I oppose the practices, I cannot in good conscience tell anyone that they should not do it. That is not my place. Pagans are easily identified by the black and/or dark colors they prefer, and the fact that they believe in the practice of spell casting. I am not saying you cannot cast spells! Bright Lady forbid!! More things are possible than you or I can imagine. I’m saying that they believe in the doing. Wiccans do not cast spells. We might ward against harm or work to heal. We do not work to injure or inflict harm. Wiccans prefer natural, undyed fibers, and shun black for ritual work (other than certain wardings) as you would shun someone with a highly communicable disease!!

The Celtic (pronounced Keltic) knot is so beloved of Wiccans because there is no beginning, and no end to them, and they can be highly complex. Just like life.

One last thing to clear up. Wiccans do NOT worship the moon anymore than Christians worship the cross, or Jews worship the Star of David, etc. The moon, in all her phases, is simply a symbol. One we have a tendency to talk to, as if she could hear us, but do you not talk to your cross or whatever when you talk to your God?

Mainly, remember: what goes around truly does come back around. In more ways than one. When one gives you a harsh word, smile and bless them. When someone cuts you off in traffic, wave at them (no, not THAT wave!) and smile. Let someone in at an intersection, help someone with a package, open a door - little things. Mostly, you should find something to be happy about, find something to laugh about - because if you don’t, you’ll spend your time crying.

May the Bright Lady Bless you and yours today and always.

I know, we have all hit rock bottom at one point or another.. Either with finances, personal relationships, self esteem.. The list is endless. The sad part about this is that there are sellers out there waiting to make a quick buck off of your personal pain by selling “haunted” items with the promise of brighter days ahead.

I have been researching the “haunted” items trend for two years now, right here on Ebay. Granted, there may be a few items that are legit, but most of these items are not. What I did in my research was look at the feedback of these “haunted” items sellers and I did a search for items by seller. My results were frightening. Ninety percent of these people are scammers. Isn’t it funny that the items are from a friend of a friend who knew the person who made these objects “magical”? For instance, one seller claimed that thier items came from a deceased medium.. The only problem is, the items kept coming and coming in an endless parade of nonsense. How many items can one deceased medium possibly “enchant”? Another seller claimed that thier items were from a rich sheik.. You must ask yourself if the story sounds fishy or not. Follow your gut instinct. Many of these “haunted” jewelry items are bought cheap at pawn shops, overseas bulk companies, online, and some even buy on Ebay and resell them as “haunted” items! Talk about shady!

Every sheik or medium will leave a paper trail, and if the seller is legit, they will be more than happy to tell you exactly who the original owner was. If you were a medium with all these items that would help mankind, would you give them to a friend to give to a friend to sell on Ebay? Probably not. These items would go into the estate and would be auctioned off by family members directly related to the person who owned them. One seller claimed that she got the “haunted” items from a personal friend of the deceased medium, but refused to say where the “medium” practiced. If this person was a true, good medium, then people would know about her or him right? With so many items coming from one “medium”, you must wonder if the “medium” owned a large storage building just bursting full of these “haunted” items. They keep coming and coming from the same seller, hundreds of items, they must have been stored somewhere right? How silly! Some sellers claim that they have a connection to a friend of a sheik or priest in another country and this is how they get the items. This is funny because Ebay is worldwide.. Why wouldn’t the person make a profit or reap the benefits of “extreme luck” themselves? Why would they ship large boxes of “powerful” and “haunted” items to the US for some person in Tennessee to sell and make a huge profit? It doesn’t make sense does it? Especially if the country is poverty stricken. Does the person in the other country not have a computer? Then how does the seller keep in touch with them? I saw one “haunted” angel statue that was a “vessel” for a fairy named chip. Two days later, I saw the same statue at Home Depot for $14.99. “Chip” however sold for over $200.00. One tip to remember is, if it looks like it was bought at the Wal-Mart jewelry counter, it probably was.

I find it amusing to search for “haunted” items on Ebay and read the descriptions. Some are downright silly! Similar to this: “This bracelet was owned by a fae queen named Celia. Celia called to the Egyptian god Anubis to enchant it and saturate it with his lucky vibes” or “This talisman is from a high priest who resides in the sacred Garden of Monchas with connections to the spectral plane of planet Zoomna. This talisman was worn by the high priest himself”. Some even claim that certain “haunted” itmes will increase bust size, or give you beauty! LOL, some of these sellers would be better off writing fantasy books or fiction books for teens. How they come up with these far-fetched stories is beyond me. And it saddens me that people believe them and thier insane stories… It is a shame.

Do you see what I am getting at? Scams are a dime a dozen on Ebay.. A lot of fraudulent sellers will say “look at my feedback!” in order to gain your trust that the items are indeed authentic. Anyone can leave feedback, and many of the real good ones that say “item is so powerful!” or “I can feel the energy!” or even “I won the lottery after buying your item!” are usually a favor from a friend to the seller, or even the seller leaving themselves feedback from another account, like a spouse or family member. In some cases, even friends and neighbors will “buy” items and leave feedback for a cut of the ending auction price.

So here you are, looking for some good luck, some money energy in your life or looking to gain some confidence. You end up on Ebay and see a “magic” ring or “haunted” doll vessel that promises all your wildest dreams come true. You buy the ring or doll and wait.. And wait.. The money never comes.. The doll is just some yard sale junk.. The ring was made in Korea in some factory… And you are out a couple hundred dollars. If you are naive enough, you just may win $5 on a lottery ticket and credit it to the ring or doll following through on the promise of wealth and luck. Or if you are smart, you will just know that luck and wealth are not purchased on Ebay in the form of a mundane object.

Beware!
