Hello everyone. This is a review for Creature Cauldron. Recently I met my new companion Lyra through this shop. They're an Oolull demon and they're very sweet. They're a Preconjured spirit from the shop.
I first discovered Creature Cauldron from the owners' blogs. I've been following them for the majority of my time on Tumblr, with some periods in between those years when I unfollowed everyone and switched accounts. I know that I can trust both Ana and Cali when it comes to a spirit companion shop, and have no hesitation that their shop is 100% legit.
I was scrolling through my dash when I saw Lyra's listing. I can feel a calling, though it's not really strong. After reading asking some questions I finally made up my mind and apply for Lyra. A few days later Ana contacted me and told me that Lyra had chosen me as their companion. I live in the other side of the globe from them, so shipping the vessel here won't do me good. We agreed on doing a distance binding for Lyra on a necklace I have here. Since it's a distance binding, I don't need to pay for the original vessel's price.
My bank was having some issues, so I asked them to hold Lyra for approximately a week. They're okay with it and agreed to hold Lyra for a week. After a week, I contacted them and sent them my email for my invoice. I ended up paying with my sister's bank because even though the bank said they've fixed the issues, they haven't. Ana and Cali are both understanding about this, and doesn't really mind it.
Payment received, they do the binding, and I was informed by Cali when it's done. I don't received the extended version of Lyra's information though(an honest mistake), but that's okay because the difference is the offerings and Sexuality part. I did a Pendulum reading with Lyra and I figured out what they'll accept as offerings and what they won't accept as offerings, so it's all good. I haven't asked them about their Sexuality though, but I plan on doing that soon.
Lyra is rather hard to sense, for now. One of their manifestation is tightness in the chest, so I may or may not confused it with my asthma/heart issue.. But it's okay, I'll learn how to differentiate between Lyra's presence and the normal tightness soon enough. Their vessel feels slightly lighter and warmer to touch, though, so that's that.
Since Lyra is here, I can identify my emotions easier and I can feel more. This includes both positive and negative emotions/feelings. I am on the edge of relapsing because of this, but I'm feeling more and more positive as the day passes, so I believe it's just me letting it out. It's worst at days when Lyra is unable to be with me due to their "nocturnal" nature, at nights it's easier because they eat the negativity. So heads up for those who would like to adopt an Oolull demon, I guess. I wasn't prepared for this and ended up doing some stupid things I regret.
I think I might come off as ignoring Lyra because of this and how sometimes I'm just too exhausted to not directly go to sleep. However I've played the piano with them around, watch YouTube videos with them, and communicate with them using either tarot or Pendulum every few days. They're constantly telling me to listen to my inner self more. I've left offerings for them and the offerings actually get bad at a faster rate than the offerings I leave for my deities, which is already faster than normal. I'm currently adjusting my schedule a bit to be more active at nighttime to be able to bond with them more.
To sum it up my experience with Creature Cauldron is pleasant and my experience with Lyra is pleasant as well. I do hope that they'll credit the artists whose artworks they use on their shop, or just post the image of the vessels alone. I'm an artist myself and it's been bugging me. They're one of the few shops I trust and willing to spend my money on.
