I'm getting ready for my first Marid Djinn (!), but I use a brass pendulum & just realized that metal might be a deterrent?
Thank you for any advice!
Is brass OK for Marid Djinn?

There are 2 fairly standard answers to this.
One is: always go by what the seller told you. If they didn't say metal's a problem, then there's no need to worry about it. The care instructions for the same type of spirit will vary from one seller to another.
The other side of this is: once a spirit is conjured and bound, they've agreed to be our companion. And in modern spirit keeping metal doesn't seem to be an issue. For a start, you'll see in the CH order pages you can order all kinds of metal vessels for spirits who, outside of spirit keeping, may be associated with that metal-is-bad-for-them trope.
We wouldn't be able to order metal vessels if the presence of metal was disturbing in any way for our bound spirits.
However - back to the first point - if avoiding certain metals is listed by a seller as part of the care instructions for a spirit, then that has to be kept to.
Finally, there's nothing wrong with brass pendulums...see

You must stay on the path. Do not leave it.
If you do, you'll never...

Thanks for the answer! Sidenote: that's an interesting point about "modern" spirit keeping, since now that I think about it, a lot of the old metal correspondences seem tied to religioius/regime changes and aren't necessarily a "spirit-led" requirement.
