MV - The MV is fine for any mix of spirits or spells, as it's created with that in mind. I have several dragons on mine. Others have separate vessels.

Nest - I didn't set out to create a nest but I did create a dragon commune, using a spell for that in the CH Advanced Spirit Keeping book and following the advice there. (See pg 43.) I suppose it has ended up being rather like a nest as, based on CH suggestions for treats or things certain dragons like, I've put stuff in it.

Connection - I enjoyed doing this and I think my dragons enjoy having a place where they can mix plus it's a convenient place to leave offerings / treats. One idea of a commune is you can make one spirit its leader and communicate with the group via that one spirit. And it's a way of letting them know they have a place in your home and your life.

So I guess in that sense, it improves the connection or bond. But, apart from that, I think the standard work still needs to be done - spending time closely with them; tasking them; sharing your hopes and aims for the day / month / year etc with them...I think that's what really forges the connection and bond.
