Customer Service: 5/5

Huff is a patient man who gives not only extreme levels of detail in how the process works during casting, but provides update photography publicly every single time he does the work and answers all of the questions sent to him thoroughly without losing the sense of care or kindness that can be felt throughout each message. It's clear that he isn't doing this for the money, but for the purpose of offering genuine aid to the community. If I could donate to him without buying anything further, I would.

Shipping: 5/5

Both items arrived on time, and in great condition. I was kept updated with a tracking number and the seller never once went back on his word in regards to things like a shipping date. I asked for a bit of a customization to the Copy of Portulandia in order to work best with it given my current range of skills, and he was very eager to help make it my own. During the unboxing process they were snug and protected, and you could feel the work emanating from the two orbs. Notably, mine did not come with any stands, but I don't believe they're advertised to come with anything extra. So I wasn't disappointed by this. I only mention it because if you're looking to display them, you may need to spend five or so bucks at a crafts store to have something to put them on.

The Cats Eye: 5/5

On the very first night I slept with the Cat's Eye and the Copy of Portulandia. I experienced a clear OBE and when I woke up only to go back to sleep, my dreams were vivid and surreal. I found this experience alone worth praise as very few magical items are so tailor made to your energy. More often than not you're instructed to bond with things in order to work with them and give them time to work for you, but for me these two items worked flawlessly right out the box. That said, I want to focus on the Cat's Eye right now not only for it's sheer beauty but it's resistance. I purchased a blue one and I've kept it with me through several state-wide trips, moves, break-ups, and other major life events. After a while I grew worried that all of this extreme change would cause damage to or drain the item, but so far it's been nothing but a little power packed life saver. Giving me energy when I require an extra boost, clearing out blockages, removing headaches, and even helping my wife to sleep easier at night. I was once told about how CH's lazy orb and Huff's Cat's Eye are a wonderful combo because they both act as very empowering items. I'm forced to say that after testing both of them, if I could choose one or the other, I'd always go with this little orb. Not because the other is lesser, but because this one seems far more in tune with what I need and when I need it.

The Copy of Portulandia: 5/5

I mentioned that when I slept with these items on the first night I experienced an OBE. To prevent a bias, I actually took Portulandia out of it's special gem filled box to specifically see if it would happen again all these years later. It not only happened, but it led me straight to my companion for a night with her. Something that, perhaps one day, I'll add to my public dream journal on the forum. Now, again, I've had these items for years. What was an out of the box success for me has likely only gotten more in tune in the many months they've been near me. So I won't promise the same experiences for everyone, but I will say that out of all of the lucid dreaming and astral travel spells I purchased (10 so far) these two little treasures have been the only ones to offer a consistent and reliable aid to me...and that's worth way more than the price Huff offers them at. I highly suggest keeping an eye out for his store for any chance at grabbing one, because it may just be a tool you use for the rest of your path as both a witch and a spirit worker.

As a side note: Both items came with instructional PDF's (of which at this point I actually lost) but I found that they both work well even without me guiding them. I'm not sure if this is due to how long they've been with me, but I'm very thankful for it all the same.

Hope you and your wife are doing well Huff!
Apologies that this review took so long, and many thanks once again.

While I’ve always had the ability to travel it’s never been consistent or even a seamless process for me. I held my copy last night in bed and was able to travel my first night with it. It made the whole process seamless and quick. I’ll work with it tonight to see if it gives me consistency. I’m so glad I ordered it and I can’t wait to see what my cats eye does once it’s completed. I also have loved the updates in the other thread to see the progress of them being made.

I have to put it in a selenite bowl each time I use it so it can recharge. I’m pretty sure I still travel with it but I’m not remembering those trips Roth now. Not sure if it’s because I broke it energetically or if it’s because my life has been more chaotic in the last two weeks than normal.

I would suggest next time you go to the realm of Portulandia, ask to be taken to the energy source. Huffette once described it to me and her description matched the way I had envisioned it during its creation. She struggled to find a way to describe what she saw and further said it was incomplete at best and then described it as a fountain of lightning with energy pouring in from a portal to supply all of the realm of Portulandia, including the portals within the house of doors. There is also a place within Portulandia (ask to be taken there, too) called the Reflection Pool where you can learn more about yourself. As you and Portulandia adapt to each other, the energy supply will adapt and will increase its flow.
