Hello! I am very new to Spirit Keeping, but I am thinking of buying my first spirit too. What are some good questions to ask sellers before I order a spirit? I'm thinking of ordering from Mystic Morning Treasures.

Hi and welcome!
This may not necessarily answer your question but I will say to do your homework on the seller first. Check out the Reviews section of this forum.
That being said, Lisa is fantastic! I deal with primarily 3 sellers. Lisa is one of them.
She is quick to reply, has the patience of a saint, and no question is too stupid (I speak from experience). She ships quick too.

Why dip your toe in the water when you can do a cannonball?

Hello! Here's a list that might help...
How long have you been conjuring?
How do you vet spirits?
What type of after care do you provide?
What type of contact are you using?
Those should help. I will also repeat what stormdancer said, look at reviews. Don't just settle for who might be the cheapest but at the same time, don't go to the most expensive. Check with previous customers.
Hey stormdancer, are you speaking about Mystic Morning Treasures? If so, I agree with you! Lisa is very nice. I will be getting some young ones from her.stormdancer wrote: ↑Sun Oct 17, 2021 11:51 pm That being said, Lisa is fantastic! I deal with primarily 3 sellers. Lisa is one of them.

Reviews are not good enough to determine the decency of a seller. They can solidly confirm only as much as the communication aspect of things. This can occasionally be a positive indicator of the rest of their business, but is not always telling of if they are experienced in conjuring or whatever else.
Review-wise, look for consistencies. Where there is an inconsistency, research the source who created that inconsistency to see if it holds greater value or if it seems to be irrelevant.
Then, ask sellers as much as you feel you need to.
Ask them how long they have been conjuring, ask them how they decide on their prices, ask them what they get out of the work, ask them what areas of magic they have experience in and how they would describe these, ask them about any contracts involved with spirit bindings, ask them anything about the spirit binding they are offering that you are left questioning ultimately.
Make sure they answer every one of your questions in a way that you understand. Before that, see if they answer any of these questions on their website or elsewhere.
Look them up in older communities like this one under any/all of the names they go by to potentially find out more about them and compare/contrast to find any irregularities between what they claim and the reality.
Other than that, go by your gut and be aware of the fact that it is on you to be able to grow into your own intuitive abilities so that you can accurately discern your paranormal experiences, which will enable you to more readily tell a good source from a not-so-good source, and more readily handle the results either way.

You must stay on the path. Do not leave it.
If you do, you'll never...
find it again.
No matter what may come, stay on...

Correction: it's not Magnolia's thread but at pg 6 she seems to endorse the question list from the OP.Lewk wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 6:40 am And this link takes you to Magnolia's list of questions to ask your conjurer...
