The Hidden Department of Notions-- Bone Djinn

$50.00

Ages ago and a little after the Great Depression there were stores called Notion departments. If you have a great grandmother or even an old grandmother they may remember these places. This was a store were you could go and buy thread, cloth, buttons and anything related to sewing.

Now just like today and in the age of reason people have all different beliefs. Some are into Wicca some are Christian and many others are all different things. Basically it was just like today but things were kept much, much quieter.

On a little known alley way in the deep in NYC the practice of the occult was in high practice. The things we don't know today were not forgotten to one lost family. This family worked around the clock for those like them, those into the paranormal and the occult. Their last name was Smith. Yes it is a common name but what they did was anything but.

Inside the shop which seemed to appear only at the beginning of dusk you could find all sorts of things,related to sewing. While many people found their way in some found exactly what they were looking for, those in the know. A special code word was used to open up the back room which was filled with flying silver fish. At least that is how people described the spirits that resided there. Opening the door was like walking into a room where silver glitter was thrown into the air. That is how many spirits filled that room. The other thing that filled that room was tons and tons of buttons. Each one was designed for beauty, creativity and supreme power. They were also created so no one would notice them other then to say how original. They were not jewelry that could be stolen and could be worn anywhere, on a coat, on the inside of a jacket or just carried around.

Here you will find many of the ones my grandmother collected. Below you will find the description and what they do.

Most of the time, when you encounter djinn, they are in spiritual form. However, you will encounter those that take mortal form. This is usually when they have something to accomplish in the mortal realm that they feel that a human just couldn't take care of. They typically don't stay in the mortal form too much longer than what they have to, because it isn't that comfortable for them. Think of being in a tuxedo... wouldn't you rather be in a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. It's the same principal.

The mortal body in which the djinn takes form, is usually just discarded somewhere on their journey back in the astral realms. I mean, what do they care what happens to the body? They are done with it. If a person is lucky enough to find of of these bodies left over, they hold extreme magical power. These 8 djinn bone buttons were found in the Hidden Department of notions. Inside of them are three eternal wishes. This seems self-explanatory right? Each button holds what we are calling a bone djinn, although technically they are just off shoots of the same entity. Each bone djinn is the remnant of a very powerful djinn who once walked the Earth in a mortal body. Each bone djinn grants three wishes for you that will remain with you for eternity. For example, if you wish for wealth you will always be rich. If you wish for love, you will always be love. If you wish for time travel, you will be able to time travel for ever.

In addition, your bone djinn brings you divine protection and will protect you against all that tries to do you harm in both the physical and astral realms.

We have eight of these buttons. They are not all pictured, because that would be overkill. They all appear similar in appearance and they have all been made from the bones of a real djinn.
