Greetings!


I am writing this guide as an introduction for those beginning to purchase paranormal or magical items and are getting caught up in some silly rumors. I have received so many e-mails with questions regarding items for sale on eBay asking if these rumors hold true.


I want to now clear these rumors of sellers and their items.




Rumor #1: If they claim their item was passed down from a great so'n'so relative then they are lieing...everyone claims that.
Fact: Just like those born into Jewish, Baptist, or Catholic families, those born into families of witches carry with them the ideas, beliefs, and traditions of their family. Witchcraft is something that was a very real thing of the past and still continues to be such to this very day. Items, mostly jewelry, are often blessed with many types of spells. The possibilities are limitless. And when these items get left behind when the elder passes - who do you think receives them? That's right: family.



Rumor #2: If they have a legal disclaimer at the bottom of their auction then it is a fake item.
Fact: The legal disclaimer is something that is a requirement by law since science has not yet been able to prove or disprove metaphysical items and services.



Rumor #3: If the item really does what they claim - they would not get rid of it.
Fact: A good example of this would be of my own life. It was my great grandmother Gemma who passed down most of my collection to me. I was given many pieces that are mine to never give away but the rest are to be given to their proper homes.  She wanted to make sure her blessings continued to help people even in her death. Also, through family connections, I have come to meet a lot of interesting and gifted individuals that also have shared with me their gifts and talents.



Rumor #4: If the auction has the bidder ID's as "private" then they are frauds or are shill bidding.
Fact: Wrong, wrong, wrong. There are two main reasons I list the bidder ID's of my metaphysical auctions as private. For one, there are other sellers out there that will spam mail bidders in hopes to receive their business.  This is against eBay policy and who in the world wants all that junk mail? Second, as a seller (and I know I speak for other sellers as well) I receive several harassing e-mails monthly containing rude and uneducated comments.  These jerks spend their time searching out magical or haunted items just so they can make stupid comments or jokes.  They apparently have nothing else better to do with their day. While it does not bother me - I just turn them into eBay & they will eventually get thrown off - I do not want by bidders/buyers being harassed by these idiots.




Now, my goal is to open the eyes of some and have them see that there is more to this world then what they think.  I hope I was able to clear your mind of silly rumors. If you believe and allow yourself to see - you will be amazed!


Now, this is not to say that there are not fakes out there - there is no hiding that. I can tell you though that from my experience here on eBay, there are more real kind hearted metaphysical sellers then there are cold hearted thives that are just out for a quick buck.


Just believe - read the entire auction - and most importanly - - - - GO WITH YOUR GUT FEELING!


And a small note for those of you who do not believe in the paranormal or magical worlds: That's okay.  I am fine with that. But you do not have the right to e-mail those who believe. Stop sending rude and nasty comments. Grow up & find another hobby.


Just because it's different - doens't mean it's wrong!


Many Blessings My Friends!
