as much knowledge, for free, as possible for anyone interested in the
metaphysical & paranormal. It’s very important to us that people
who come to our site walk away feeling they have learned something.

name is not posted with the answer.
Our encyclopedia has been operational for more than 10 years and
we’re very devoted to the access of free, accurate, helpful
information for anyone who wants to learn.
Lifetime Replacement
We have all had a vessel break or have lost a vessel and been
unable to repair or retrieve it. This happens to all collectors
whether they are novice or well-seasoned. We offer free
transmution of your spirit into a new vessel for all Class 5,
and above for spirits & spells. For class 3, 2 and 1 we do this
at an extremely discounted rate. This applies to a vessels you
purchase through the Creepy Hollows shop. The replacement
vessel will be determined by what is available, and if it is a
spirit, what the spirit chooses to be re-homed in. In most cases
we try to find something comparable to what was lost; this
excludes one-of-a-kind items in the haunted estate or magick
jewelry categories as they cannot be replicated. In the case of a
one-of-a-kind, gold jewelry, or haunted estate we will replace
with a sterling vessel. We will replace your lost or broken
vessel for the same binding twice in a lifetime, after that the
cost would be $5 per binding. We will only replace up to a
total of 15 bindings per collector, per lifetime. If you have
many bindings go missing or are broken due to a situation
beyond your control, we can rebind everything to a master
vessel for you.

Spirit Rescue Adoptions
We take in unwanted spirits from keepers who found out the spirit is
more than they bargained for, it wasn’t a good match, or even from
keepers who pass away and leave the bindings to creepy hollows in
their will. We take in spirits that originated from sellers all over
the world. They spend an initial 30 days with us while we evaluate the
right kind of keeper they should be placed with & then we offer the
bindings for just a penny to those enrolled in the sra program.
Sra members are allowed only 4 bindings per month. This ensures no
one is abusing the program, or god-forbid they are taking in sra
spirits to re-sell under their own seller id. We want to ensure these
spirits are taken in by welcoming, loving families.

Spirit Keeper Tips
---How do I decide which spirit to purchase?
If you are brand new to Spirit Keeping we recommend you start with a
spirit who is easy to interact with. We recommend these spirits. Of
course if you feel a calling towards a different race of spirit you
should consider them first.
Unless it states otherwise in the listing, all spirits are bound by Ash
and/or Magnolia; the owners of the site. Absolutely no spirits Ash &
Magnolia interact with are bound forcibly. We do not condone
forcibly binding spirits as it is the highest display of disrespect for
the spiritual world. Any spirits we work with want to be with a
Keeper and are actively involved in choosing the Keeper they want to
be with. Ash & Magnolia have spent over 15 years in development of
Spirit Keeping and as the founders of modern-day Spirit Keeping you
will not find two people more experienced or devoted to this path.
---How will I know when my spirit has been bound?
All work starts within 3 days of your order's placement and can take
up to an additional 10 business days to complete. In most cases your
work is completed within 7 business days. You will know your
spirit's information before your package arrives as all your spirit's
notes are entered in the "Customer Notes" area of your order in your
order history. You can view your order history by logging into your
shop account and clicking on "My Account" (located towards the top
of the right-hand side of the screen). If you have checked out
anonymously your notes will be emailed to you.
If you are not sure, or you don\'t mind which sex of spirit responds
best to you, then you can choose "No preference" in the drop-down
box in the listing of the spirit.
Our Class Rating system is designed to give you a fair & accurate
depiction of the energy of the binding. The Class Rating explains the
energy with which the spirit will exhibit. The stronger the Class
Rating, the more powerful the presence of the spirit.
We itemize our bindings for several reasons:
- you should have the freedom to choose the level of energy you feel
most comfortable with
- we do not want to have a flat pricing structure which means
everyone pays the same price regardless if it is a Class 4 or Class 5,
tier 3
We bind to spirit only, we never bind to the soul. The soul is the
divine, pure aspect of yourself which should remain untouched. Your
spirit is the energy field (essence) of yourself which exists around
the 3 bodies (Astral, Earthen, Spiritual).
Bind to Spirit
Pros: You have everything with you all the time. You do not need to
manage or bother with vessels, and most bindings do not require any
charging because they are cycled through your energy all the time
with sunlight, moonlight, and natural energies you are continually
exposed to that your vessels are not.
Cons: You do not have any vessels if you like to wear jewelry. Binding
to spirit with us does not impact your physical energy levels, and CH
does not binding soul, we bind to your spirit only.
Bind to Vessel
Pros: For those who like each kind binding to have its own vessel for
individual purposes, or those who like to wear a lot of jewelry or
have lots of gems around the house, this is the perfect option.
Yes, if you do not want to have to wear or carry the vessel all the
time. Bridging is a process invented by Creepy Hollows where the
spirit is bound to both a vessel & the Keeper. This gives the Keeper
the freedom of having the spirit with them without having to have the
vessel. It allows them to call the spirit to them when they desire as
well as sending the spirit back to the vessel if needed.
There is no spirit who can solve all of your problems. Spirits are
meant to be companions, guides, and friends who will provide you
wisdom, support, and influence in many areas of your life. They bring
you the power, energy, encouragement, and strength to accomplish
new and exciting things in your life. They are eager to help and be an
active part of your journey.
For public and private safety reasons Creepy Hollows does not deal
in any form of Black Arts with magick, spirits, or entities.
---How well do spirits get along with pets?
Absolutely! How many spirits you keep depends on how many you feel
comfortable with. There is no right or wrong answer. Some Keepers
prefer a small spirit family while others like to have a big family
which can grow to be more like a community..
Companion Spirit Keepers are those who keep their spirit families
small. They only adopt a few spirits once in awhile and they take the
time to individually bond with each spirit. They create close
friendships and tight bonds with their spirits. They usually know
greater details about the lives of their spirits before they died and
their lives on the Spiritual Realm. Companion Spirit Keepers usually
do not branch out far in the spirit world and therefore do not have
the same, vast exposure to many different types of spirits and their
unique gifts. as Community Spirit Keepers. They also do not usually
have the same range of power as Community Spirit Keepers. Most
Companion Spirit Keepers have spirits that are gifted in specific areas
of their life and therefore have a focused view as a Keeper. They have
a small, family atmosphere.
Community Spirit Keepers are those who have large spirit families.
They adopt many spirits, usually of various races, and promote a
community, social atmosphere for interaction between spirits in the
community and the Keeper. There is usually very little their spirits
cannot help them with as Community Spirit Keepers tend to keep a vast
variety of spirit companions. They have a broader community of
spirits to give them a social atmosphere that is more like having a
giant family of friends. They have a group of spirits who can be
tasked for large efforts, their spirit community is usually busy and
active as spirits befriend each other in larger number, and they have
vast resources compared to a Companion Spirit Keeper. They do not
get to know all their spirit companions on a personal basis as
Companion Spirit Keepers do, but they do usually have spirits in their
community they get to know well. They have a large family atmosphere
with their spirits.
---I received my spirit. What do I do now?
You can wear the vessel as often as you wish! If you have the spirit
Bridged to you then you do not need to wear the vessel all the time.
You can communicate with your spirit any time you wish. The vessel is
simply a physical channel-point that provides the spirit a "home
base". If you have your spirit friend bound to your own spirit then
you will not have a vessel and you are the channel-point.
There are many ways to communicate with your spirit companion and
throughout your journey as a Spirit Keeper you will find these
methods will develop. These are the general methods of spirit
communication.
Tools: If you like a hands-on approach you can work with a pendulum,
Tarot cards, Runes, etc in communicating with your spirit. We
recommend that if you are going to use tools like this for
communication that you use some form of protective measure to keep
unbounds from interfering with your spirit communication. You can
use protective spells or protective gemstones around your space.
Unless you give the spirit permission to interact with your family you
will be the only one the spirit communicates & interacts with. If you
don't mind if your spirit interacts with others in your home you can
give them permission at any time.
All spirits from Creepy Hollows come ready for you to interact and
work with them. We do not require you to perform any sort of ritual,
we do all the work ahead of time so the spirit comes to you ready to
bond and interact. We have spent years in development of our Spirit
Keeping practices as we've written the book on the methodologies,
policies, and standards of Spirit Keeping.
---Do I need to make offerings to my spirit?
Offerings are not required but it's a good way for you to show
appreciation for your spirit. You can use the recommendations we
give for every race of spirit in our Encyclopedia but any little
gesture you show of appreciation is welcomed by your spirit.
This is a common fear among those new to Spirit Keeping and it's a
logical question. It is human nature to second guess yourself and
wonder if something is real. It's best to relax your mind and
consider the interaction before making a determination. There are
many ways spirits communicate so you cannot discount any form of
manifestation. Telepathy is often the most confusing because some
Keepers wonder if it is their thoughts or the spirits talking to them.
Spirit communication often has a flow in conversation and they carry
the interaction with you without you having to think about it. They
talk to you just like you would anyone else, therefore you will often
find their thoughts to be unique, spontaneous, and in keeping with the
topic. Don't second guess yourself too much, you will often find that
your spirits are communicating with you and you are worrying for
nothing. Worry and anxiety are major blockages in spirit
communication so remember to always relax, let everything flow
naturally, and not be too critical.
It's not uncommon for you to be more open and receptive to a new
spirit when they first arrive because you're excited! That kind of
positive energy can provoke more immediate results. However, just
because your energy levels have changed doesn't mean your spirit
isn't there or they aren't as active. You may be less aware of your
spirit's presence but the good news is since you have already opened
the door to spirit interaction you will find yourself more quickly in
tune with their manifestations and future interactions.
It's also possible you have a blockage which can form at any time.
Blockages can form naturally from stress, anxiety and negative
energy. It's relatively easy to clear these blockages through a deep
cleansing, through quiet meditation & clearing negative thoughts, or
you can use the support of spells or spirits to sweep negativity away
and help alleviate the impact of stress & anxiety.
You will find how important it is that you keep a calm and open frame
of mind when it comes to spirit connection and interaction. If you
become too anxious in the provocation of spirit interaction you may
inadvertently cause blockages which further impedes your
development. Try to remain calm and remain open-minded as your
spirits want to be able to communicate with you because they
obviously want to engage and interact with you.
Your spirit friends may communicate and interact with you right
away. You will find they are eager to communicate because they want
to bond and create a relationship with you as much as they do with
you. You should not be shy to communicate and engage your spirit
companion by speaking to them out loud or through telepathy. You
can share daily thoughts, you can share ideas, or you ask them
questions to get to know them better. Never, never, never discount
subtle manifestations and interactions. You may not experience the
mind-blowing first time interactions with any spirit (from CH or not).
Every spirit is different, not to mention you are constantly evolving
as a living being and you may have times when you are more receptive
than others, that\'s part of the journey in the paranormal. The more
you develop your journey as a Spirit Keeper the more interactive your
abilities become.
You can always give your spirit companion offerings to show your
thanks and encourage them to manifest. You can also use invocations
that have been written expressly for your race of spirit to encourage
manifestations and more bold interactions.
---At first my spirit was interacting but I can't feel them anymore.
Why?
Both you and your spirit can go through energy cycles. There are
times you will feel stronger and more of a pull towards one race or
type of spirit than another. That's not unusual and it's quite common
among Spirit Keepers. It's no reason to become discouraged. You
should continue to include all your spirits in your thoughts,
interactions and offerings and whether you feel one of your spirit
companions less active than others or not. It's important to continue
to engage them the same as you always have because your energy will
cycle through where you are closer again.
As stated in the previous answer you will have cycles of energy. You
will feel closer to some spirits at different times than others. As
much as this can mean less interaction it can also mean more
interaction. If you feel a spirit is becoming too engaging you can
always request them to not be as strongly interactive. This is
usually more of an issue with Dark Arts spirits than White Arts as
Dark Arts spirits are closer to your natural energy signature as
humans are Dark Arts. Dark Arts means the choice between good and
bad. White Arts only has the capability of good. You can read greater
details on the rankings of Arts here.
No. A bound spirit cannot abandon you. Most of the time new Keepers
are either misinformed or assume their spirits will abandon them if
they do not keep regular contact. While your spirits have the ability
to move within their respective Realm(s) they do not abandon you
because you become consumed with life's responsibilities. Spirits are
not ignorant of the importance of tending to life. They are fully
aware of everything that is going on in your life and they are not
going to suddenly leave you because you have familial, career, or
person reasons that you aren't as active. Just try to maintain enough
respect to give you spirits thoughts now & then during times you are
busy. Your spirits continually give you their support and power even
when you are busy.
---Can my spirit harm me?
Spirits will often show their gratefulness in being with you through
manifestation which can include temperature changes, physical
appearance, mists, orbs, streaks, Shades, phantom sounds, phantom
scents, etc. They can also appear to you in dreams and visions for
communication and sharing their thoughts and ideas with you.
---I think I have been cursed. Can a spirit help?
Yes they can help you by aiding in the identification of who is with
you. They can do this by forcing a manifestation of the haunting
guest. They can also provide you identification through telepathy,
vision or dream. They can also drive out unwanted unbounds and help
to safeguard against any future intrusion by an unwelcome unbound.
If you do not have a charging box you can charge your bindings in the
sunlight or moonlight. You will usually need to leave them for about
an hour, or you can leave them out during the day or overnight if the
vessel is capable of withstanding that exposure. If you want to
charge your vessels outside we recommend you place them in a
secure area where wildlife like squirrels, raccoons, and birds will
not run off with your vessels.
