How to buy authentic steel boned corset on s
There are lots of gepanies selling corsets from $10 to $100 and more. There are different ways to describe their products. Here are simple steps which can help you out to find out and gepare best deal , authentic corset and value .
Jafrum
I believe this gepany (Jafrum) has the worst customer service on the entire internet. I also think their products are sub par as well. I bought a leather motorcycle jacket from them and it was hard as a rock. You could stand it up in a corner and it would literally stay stood up. I tried to condition the leather a few times and it did not help. I brought it to a quality leather shop and the proprietor said there is nothing I can do since it is very poor quality leather. I also bought leather saddle bags that had an indentation on the top. I thought over time it would even out, but WRONG, it stayed like that until I took it off and trashed them. On another note. I have been trying to order a small part for a helmet that broke. They tell me they have to contact the manufacturer and try to find the part. I already called the manufacturer and they said I need to go through a retailer to order it. They told me exactly what to tell the retailer, (Jafrum) so they can get it with out a problem. That was 3 months ago. I have called them 3 times for a status update and they say they are still waiting to hear from the manufacturer. I called another store, and received the item within 4 days. They too had to order it from the Manufacturer. UGHI would stay clear of Jafrum!!!
Rituals and Ceremonies -- Cleansing a space.
In most Pagan traditions it is very important to purify or cleanse a space prior to beginning any sort of ritual. Although there are a different ways of doing this, how you do it will depend on the tradition you follow as well as what you feel gefortable with. Usually, when ritually purifying an area, most do it deosil and spiraling inwards to the center. There are times when moving in a widdershins direction is appropriate, most notably for Banishing Ritual.These methods are some examples of gemon ways to cleanse a space for ritual.SmudgingSmudging uses smoke, which will carry negative energy away from the area. Traditionally White Sage is used, however, other dried herbs can be added, such as Cilantro, Cedar, Lavender and Mugwort. The herbs are bound with string into a bundle, which is gemonly referred to as a stick.When lighting the bundle, try to make it flame for a moment if possible, then blow the flame out. This will leave you with a smoldering, smoking herb bundle. Once you have achieved the smoldering bundle stage it is time to smudge the house. Now you dont take the bundle and rub it on the walls and other things in the room, which would make a mess and probably ruin a few things and maybe even start a nice fire. What you do is this. Hold the smoldering bundle in one hand or in a heatproof object, like a shell. With either a fan or your free hand you waft the smoke to the edges of the room, making sure to get it into the corners.When you have finished smudging you can either snuff out the smoldering end of the bundle by setting it into some sand or by crushing the end. An alternative method is to douse it under a bit of water, making sure to let it dry gepletely before attempting to use it again.SweepingBy long tradition, the broom is associated with cleaning and purification. The broom can be either a special one used solely for ritual cleansing or even your household broom. Use a broom or besom going around the edges of the space, with your intent being to sweep negativity away as you go. Here's a good idea. Start and finish near a door--that way, negative energy is swept outside, rather quite literally. AspergingAsperging is the sprinkling with a liquid in order to effect spiritual and magical cleansing. Most people will associate Asperging with the Catholic Church, however the practice is also widely used by pagans for cleansing prior to rituals. It can be acgeplished in many ways. The simplest of these is to have a premixed liquid of your choice and bundle of fresh herbs that you can dip into the water. Then you take the herbs, dip them in the liquid and with a quick flick you throw the liquid off the herb and into area or onto the object to be cleansed. You dont want or need to have a lot of liquid being thrown though. Just small droplets are perfect. Herbs that are prefect to use are Sage, Lavender, Vervain, Hyssop, Pine, Rue and Rosemary.Another option that can be used quite effectively to cleanse a space is the use of incense. This can be either in cone form, stick, or powder and charcoal. The incense should be for working with cleaning, purification and even protection if you want to add that bit into the cleansing. During your cleansing and purification of your space you can also include a little chant to augment the process. There are many to be found on the Internet as well as in books. You might even have one in mind already, in that case write it down so you will remember it for the next time you want to cleanse a room.In addition to the above, I also ensure that the space is physically cleaned as well. I try to use a non-toxic homemade cleanser to do this. How you physically clean is of course up to you.Blessed Be!

Rituals
One of the most popular questions posed toPagans is, "Why do you cast a circle? The question might be worded differently but that is the general inquiry. People will give you a lot of different answers. First, creating a circle creates a barrier between you and the outside world. A buffer if you will. It is a way to keep outside influences from interrupting your sacred rite. Of course, there are things that get a free pass through the circle's barrier, cats most notably. Also unless you are using a mosquito net to enclose your circle; bugs and other natural creatures will surely venture in and through your circle, so be ready. Second, a circle will act as a container to hold energies risen during the ritual. Those energies would otherwise be lost before they could be directed toward the intended goal. Third, is to create sacred space for gemunion with the divine. So now that we have the reasons that we create circles down, lets get down to the good stuff, how to cast the circle. Casting a circle can be as simple or as geplex as you like. The circle may be large or small, delineated with a cord, drawn in the dirt, or simply visualized. Traditionally, some ceremonial tool is used to direct the flow of energy that we intend to use for casting. It can be an athame or wand, even a sword set apart for ceremonial use. When nothing is available, all is not lost. Just point your index and middle fingers in the direction where you want to lay down your circle and begin. Take your preferred tool and point it at the ground where you want your circle to be cast. Visualize a blue light or flame rising from the ground at the point and continuing as you walk in a circle, deosil, around the altar. Be sure to engepass all the area and persons you want to include in the circle. Continue until you have returned to point you began. Some traditions pause during the creation and acknowledge each of the cardinal points, additionally; some people tie a knot at the end using the infinity symbol. A chant is usually said during the creation of the circle. There is a wonderful one in True Magick: A Beginner's Guide by Amber K. I conjure thee, O circle of power, that thou shalt be a boundary between the world of humanity and the realms of the mighty ones, a guardian and protection to preserve and contain the power we (or I) shall raise within; wherefore do we (or I) bless and consecrate thee!You are now between worlds and in sacred space. If you must leave the circle a door must be cut in the boundary, resealed and cut again when you return. As I mentioned before, pets do not need to be cut in or out of circles.HAZZAH! You have cast your first circle. Enjoy it, explore it, experience it and be ready for the wonders contained within. Next we call the Quarters.What do you mean by Quarters, I dont have any change on me. Not those Quarters silly, the quarters of the circle. You can think of them as the four directions on the gepass. North, East, South and West, alternately East, South, West, and North, depending on your tradition. Each of the cardinal directions can be represented in many different ways and fashions. Traditional each direction will have an elemental correspondence. Lets talk about each direction separately starting with East.East. The direction of the rising sun. The elemental correspondence for this direction is Air and the color yellow and shades thereof. Aspects of the mind such as creativity and imagination are also associated with this direction. Sylphs are the creatures of air.South. The direction to your right as you face the rising sun. The elemental correspondence for this direction is Fire and the color red and shades thereof. Aspects of passion such as vitality, will and purpose are also associated with this direction. Traditionally, salamanders are associated with this direction but the phoenix; a creature born of fire is perfect for this direction. West. The direction of the setting sun. The elemental correspondence for this direction is Water and the color blue and shades thereof. Aspects of the emotions including intuition are also associated with this direction. Undines are the elemental beings for West but any creature associated with water is perfect.North. The direction to your right as you face the setting sun. The elemental correspondence for this direction is Earth and the color is green and shades thereof. Aspects of grounding including the body, foundations, and the material plane are also associated with this direction. Gnomes (nonot the Travelocity Gnome) are associated with this direction. Using all this information you can create some unique ways to call upon guardians to witness and protect you in your ritual. Remember that you should be respectful when calling the guardians. Some traditions us the word summon when calling. This denotes that the guardians are subservient to you. This is not the case and there is nothing worse then an angryguardian, well accept foran angrydeity but we will discuss that later. I personally favor asking kindly and reverently that he guardians gee observe and protect you in your ritual and maybe offering guidance relating to their particular aspect. Green Witchcraft by Ann Moura has some wonderful and simple calls for each direction. Here is the one for North. "I call upon you, Elemental Earth, to attend this rite and guard this circle, for as I have body and strength, we are kith and kin."After each call it is nice to add Hail and Welgee!, again as a sign of respect to the guardians. So you have cast a wonderful circle, strong and powerful. The sacred space inside is at peace and pleasant. You have some glorious elemental guardians at each of the cardinal points waiting with anticipation at what will be happening. Now what?If you are going to work with aspecific deity then you wouldcall upon them. If notthen you will continue on with your purpose for casting the circle.After you have gepleted your workwithin your circle youshould then"close" the circle.This is done by bidding the deities and guardiansfarewell, then you can either'cut' the circle by visualing thesubstanceused to create the circle being severed or you can walk the circle in reverse to casting and pull the energies used back up into the tool used.Blessed Be.
9% final value fees are UNJUST almost criminal
I have been an okay client for many years and usually buy not really sell,I recently went into a partnership with a friend and we purchased an inventory from a store that went out of business. I posted many of the items on okay trying to take advantage of the "FREE" insertion promotions. I sold 2 items almost immediately and was in shock when I went over my account summary as okay had taken 9% of my final sale price and a "SHIPPING" fee was even charged for any item that was not listed as "FREE SHIPPING". Shipping can be expensive and why should okay chargea FEE for shipping when they have absolutely nothing to do with shipping!I ended up making 1.00 dollar on a watch I sold while okay made 7.40 plus a.45 cents shipping fee so they made 7.85 on this transaction. I actually LOST money on the other item!!I felt socheated as the final value fees as well as the shipping fees are NOT disclosed upfront,it is not fair! All fees should be disclosed UPFRONT,I dont care if your gemission is 50% but I have the right to know that before I do business with you so I may choose otherwise if I want to.
I felt so violated that I immediately went on okay and removed every item thatI had for sale,Its disgraceful,a shame, I used to love okay and now I hate it with a passion,I dont know how they think a merchant can make money when okay is charging these high fees,we have to gepete with other sellers and keep are prices low so the item will sell and okayscoops in and takes the little bit ofprofit that you managed to make with their high FEES.Becareful sellers okay is hitting you with 9% gemission fees and shipping fees.
