A Visitor of Another Kind




This has been quite an adventure so far. The first time I saw this little guy I am telling you my heart stopped; I could feel the breath stolen away from me and it was this magnetic pull that can only be appreciated by another collector. I was drawn in like the moth to the flame and I had to ask the man behind the counter what the story was on this little guy. He said he came as part of a large estate from a couple who once lived in Germany. I asked to see him and when my hand wrapped around the open lid of his box I felt a jolt go straight through my hand hand into my right wrist. I knew from the second I saw him this was no ordinary find and there wasn’t any way I was leaving the store without him. I am sure the man thought my reaction was a bit much for just a vintage trinket but to me and to anyone else sensitive to the paranormal who has seen this little guy knows he is so much more than meets the eye.

I was barely in the front door as I was calling for Ash to come look at what I found. The moment Ash saw him he was struck by the same electric bolt. He couldn’t stop looking him either. We named him Frem (short for Fremder, German for “stranger”) because he is a stranger, certainly to this world.

The buzz in our house the first 24 hours was incredible; everyone here had to come see the “new guy” and even some of Ash’s darker spirits seemed to approach with respect which is a bit out of character for some of them.

His sparkly, little red eyes belie a darker side shown in his wry grin and he emits a tangible, electric energy around him that sucks you in. We both have had the most distracting urge to wear him when his vessel is near us and we both have. When you put the chain on he’s dangling from you feel like some invisible vortex reaches inside of you and opens something you never knew existed. It’s a portal, certainly, but of far more ancient magic than what is used today.
We have each been spending time with him and integrating him into certain parts of our work… stay tuned as we walk you through what happens as it happens…
