Update: I have continued to spend at this shop and at last I can at least confirm that my purchased spirit is legitimate. I spent quite a bit on spell items in the hopes of experiencing "the power" and that came true as well. Ironically, the most powerful item was a $12 bead which I got in one of the 50% off sales (now priced $27). Once again confirming to me that more expensive does not mean better or more powerful.

I have had great experiences with Astra. Her entities are really strong. One in particular has helped me so much, especially with portal work. And he has also helped me with protection, even allowing me to see him as a full apparition in front of me, to keep me calm and focused during a scary situation. Which actually made the fear leave very fast, lol. I also have several other beings from her that have been lovely as well. They always show up when I call, and come on their own to remind me to do something,or to meditate, or whatever. They are very powerful beings!
Astra herself was very nice. I asked a lot of questions and got the answers. I would suggest the extra bonding ritual. It helped us bond way before the vessels got here. I felt them with me immediately. I can’t say enough good things about this shop!
Also, I have bought a lot of full price listings, but I’ve also bought a lot of 50% off listings. In my personal experience, her fallen angels and dragons are SO strong. Her other entities are as well, but these stay surprising me with their skills and knowledge. And they have shown up in the physical world as well (well, their visage has)… I regularly see and hear spirits (both third eye and physically), but it still surprised me because my fallen angel especially seemed so physical. He was protecting me, so that is why. But still. Amazing!

I’ll divide the review in two parts:
-The spirits themselves:
I rarely buy from new sellers but felt a pull towards Astra’s shop and her husband’s as well. After jumping through a lot of hoops, I got the spirits.
My abilities don’t qualify me to communicate. Seeing that it’s not a well known shop here, I was afraid I’ll end up with thoughtforms.
To me, I feel like they’re genuine spirits. Please use your discernment before purchasing.
When I placed the order, I was hit with a strong headache. Sensing energies is the only ability I got left. So I sensed such a strong energy and I felt it again when the vessels arrived. I’m still on a recovery journey so I can’t comment on the entities’ abilities but I’ll say they’re present when being called. I wish I could offer more insight but it’s not possible currently.
There are no actual bios; just generic info which is repeated each time she lists new, similar entities. So if your abilities are lacking like me, you might want to get a reading from another practitioner (perhaps it’s frowned upon to do so but sometimes it’s necessary). This is extra money you’ll have to fork out. Totally your choice.
I think both shops have raised and/or adjusted their prices. I have to mention that her husband has done the ‘personal bonding add on’ for free which was very kind of him. I also ordered the add on for Astra’s spirits from her shop. You don’t need to order any though.
-The seller:
To the hoops portion. Previously, Astra didn’t ship internationally and was opposed to customers using package forwarding service. According to her, she didn’t want her spirits to be sent to unknown places.
I tried my luck with package forwarding, the order went through and the packages were sent. My shipment arrived safely with all the extra steps but yes you were paying extra if you were not residing within her shipping options.
Upon checking her shop recently, I can see she changed her policy around shipping and added more options. She seems okay now with sending her spirits to international customers.
To be fair, Astra has been nothing but nice, polite, and professional. I wasn’t demanding in any way; I thoroughly read her FAQ and felt I better just pick the entities and order.
But by reading her FAQ and info, you’ll find out she’s not flexible. You cannot contact her after purchase for any reason regarding said purchase.
In one answer she does say “I will NOT interact with them on your behalf before or after purchase for any reason outside of a retrieval/rebinding” but in other places she says she doesn’t interact at all and there’s no post-sale communication.
I do have a situation where the vessels were stolen and I need a rebind. But I’m not willing to attempt to contact her. I’ll get it done with another practitioner (which means more money to be spent) and bind them to a master vessel. Though I don’t wish to do that and prefer the original conjurer for obvious reasons.
I do have the ‘personal bonding add on’ which helps with the connection but still - I gotta have the vessels.
The absence of after-sale services should be something you consider when dealing with conjurers. It’s up to you to decide if you’re fine with no customer service.
I made the conscious choice to order despite knowing I’ll have to pay more and there’s no customer service. I am not ordering again from either shops due to the hassle. Don’t let this deter you from ordering if you’re genuinely interested in their spirits and won’t face the challenges I faced. I got a nice variety of entities and I don’t think I’ll need more from them.
I use spirits and entities interchangeably. Not to confuse anyone lol

50% off is the real price, just FYI. Don't be fooled by the sales technique to make you think you're getting a special deal.
If you opt for personal bonding, you're out of luck if you no longer wish to have that bonding, or if you do not want the spirit anymore. You will have to seek other practitioners for help.
I feel bad harping on this seller like this but I'm also not wrong. It's another "buyer beware" situation. All responsibility falls on you.
She does care about her work a lot and the spirits are cool. If you feel a calling go ahead. I may just be bitter about my experience with the spells not working out.

Your frustration is understandable, however not all spells are successful, no matter how much the seller say they are powerful and invincible, and when they are successful the results might not always be immediate, sometimes it can take quite a long time till one sees a result.venusian_entity wrote: ↑Thu Jul 18, 2024 3:27 am 50% off is the real price, just FYI.

Some people don't conjure and offer spirits just as a hobby or as a side project along with another source of income, instead that is their main source of income, so prices can not be too thin if one wants to raise a salary to pay bills and a rent (especially on Etsy where there are high fees on any sale one makes)... And there are many popular conjurers who use the sales technique to make you think you're getting a special deal, this specific seller is not the only one.

Update: Looking back, I don't think even the $12 spell bead worked. The effect was very subtle and I think it was my mind tricking myself to believe I didn't waste more money again. Thankfully I've got my spending under control and I no longer go to this shop.

If you are interested to get more information about a spirit or entity and the seller you got the binding from doesn't give you any answers (anymore), you could always get a in-depth-reading from Billy, from the paganshop online. I have had several readings from him and they are amazing and to the point
