Our John Dee Elder Signs, like many of our artifacts, are made by hand, usually when ordered, in a mystical process that can take some days. For this reason, we cannot guarantee that they will always be available for immediate shipment. But then again, if you need emergency protection from the forces of the Mythos you have more pressing concerns than a potential shipping delay....
Warrantee, Occult Indemnification and Fine Print
Persons purchasing the Omen Antiquitatum hereby acknowledges that it is a potent magical symbol which manipulates cosmic forces completely beyond the understanding of mankind. Further, Purchaser acknowledges that the Elder Sign is intended to be carefully consecrated and used in accordance with some bizarre rules written by a mad Arab nearly 1400 years ago. Purchaser understands that there is no Warranteee (implied or otherwise) that ElderWear will necessarily provide guaranteed protection against: supernatural infestation, demonic possession, ectoplasm, enchantments and/or ensorcelments, or mental instability. Purchaser agrees to hold HPLHS, Inc., its subsidiaries and officers free and blameless from any and all damages arising from occult and/or supernatural phenomena.
We recommend that you NEVER touch the copper surface of the elder sign with your skin - oils on your skin will damage the patina. Please do NOT attempt to clean, buff, or polish it or use any kind of solvent on its surface - this will also destroy the patina. As the copper can continue to oxidize, we recommend keeping it away from direct sunlight (ditto for vampires) and sources of water or high humidity.
