I have accumulated some jewelry sold as vessels with my orders. I know a friend wants one of my bracelets and after mentioning it to my family, my sisters mentioned wanting a few vessels as well. I received freebies with both orders so I have too much excess jewelry lying around and would be happy to give them as gifts. Plus that’s all they’ve specified they want for Christmas, and I’m bad at picking gifts.

Is there any harm in gifting them?

I strongly feel the answer is “no”, but some were for dark arts and my sisters asked me to check the forum.

I feel like it should be fine based on what I’ve read about people losing their vessels. I was browsing earlier and someone mentioned that many keepers end up losing the vessels and it doesn’t matter, so I see no harm in gifting them.

I don’t see it as an issue, as long as they are aware that the vessels are enchanted.

I think if the vessels are only enchanted with spells and those spells are safe then it should be fine. If those vessels have spirit bounded to them then I think you should ask the spirit first before you gifted the vessels.

This is my third try replying. I keep getting signed out? Short answer: friends/family know their initial purpose (to be a vessel), the spells won’t work without words, and the spirits are fine with it since they never use them.

Also, I’ll show this thread to them since they asked me to make one.

Thanks for the input!

I try to give a meaningful answer here, why not to give any CH vessel away unless they have been bridged to a person getting them.

It will work, if it’s requested to be bridged, to your friend by name and date of birth at the time when you added the freebies into your cart.

I have sent freebies without a vessel to family members this way.
The same goes with spirits too, and avoid disappointment for both.

If you have items numbers handy for those jewellery that you have in mind, and want to give them away , you might like to ask CH to cross bridge them to your friends as well as it will stays active with you too. That way, especially your spirit companions can be shared.

If you check out ‘cross bridging‘ in the CH encyclopaedia , you might like to try it yourself reading after the instruction you have find there.

I may be rehashing what others have said but to me...

- It's not completely clear to me from what you said if any of these are spirit binding vessels. If so, the spirit(s) may have been conjured and bound specifically to be a companion for you. Simply passing the vessel onto someone else would go against that, as they had not agreed to be someone else's companion. (To me that shouldn't be done.) If that's irrelevant, I apologise.

- Even with spells, I think you'd be best asking the seller concerned, as we don't know what you've got, ie what the seller has put on the vessels or how they did the work; whether they have been customised so as to only work for you or are designed to be capable of being passed on etc.

- Clearly, if they're from more than one seller the answers to each of those questions may be very different.

- Even if they're from the same seller, different pieces may be designed in paranormally different ways.

So I recommend asking the seller, rather than us. I hope that makes sense.

I don't think there's anything wrong with giving vessels to your friends.
The only thing is that one that has a spirit bound to it, regarding Dark Arts or White Arts. Ask the conjurer or seller if the spirit agrees with the new Keeper, and ask your friend if he or she would be okay with said spirit when receiving the vessel.
As for spells, if they're bound or bridged to you in any way, the spells won't work on your friends, but still be cool accessories.

None of the vessels contain spirits. And my friends/sisters just like the jewelry. They have no interest in the spirits.

Your answers conflict, so I'm not sure how to proceed. As long as you don't give the vessels that bound to any spirits, it's fine. Even if your friends aren't interested in any spirits but if you happen to give them those vessels with the spirits, it won't be good to you as it won't be good to the spirits.

To confirm, the vessels only have spells bounded to them, correct? If so, then that is depending on what kind of spells are bounded to the vessels and who did the binding. Many CH spells act intuitively and don't require keywords or invocation which means whoever has the vessels can activate the spells bounded to the vessels without knowing. Lisa from MMT said that her spells are activated as long as someone is holding the vessel, regardless of who was the original owner.
