FAQ

Common questions about iWell Guard, protective practice, method and order handling. This FAQ collection answers the topics we are asked about most often, from questions about the background of the project to specific questions of use, from the reliability of the sources to the methodological foundations of our mediumistic work.

If your question is not answered here, feel free to write to us via the contact form. We often add recurring questions to this list, so that later readers find an answer right away.

Who is behind iWell Guard?

iWell Guard is a project of Ittermann electronic GmbH, based in 99842 Ruhla, Thuringia.

We combine two fields of activity: on the one hand the sale of the iWell Guard protective pendant through the shop at ittermann.de, and on the other the content website you are currently on, a comprehensive collection on beings from mythology, religion and folk belief, complemented by methodical articles on mediumship, energetic diagnostics and subtle-energy practice.

Behind the project stand Ralf Ittermann as founder and managing director of the company and a circle of mediumistic practitioners, scholars of religion and editors who create, review and continuously improve the individual articles. Responsibility for the editorial content lies with Ittermann electronic GmbH.

How is the iWell Guard made?

Details on the choice of material and product can be found on the product page About the iWell Guard.

In brief: the pendant is made from an alloy produced specifically by us, with defined geometries and dimensions that we developed on the basis of many years of experience in electronic manufacturing. The individual steps, alloy selection, machining, final inspection, are documented and form part of our quality assurance.

We make no objectifying scientific claims about the mode of action. What we can report are accounts of experience from mediumistic practice and from wearers, collected under reports of experience, which we transparently identify as personal perceptions.

How can I get in touch?

By e-mail to [email protected] or via the form on the contact page. You can reach us by telephone during the business hours stated in the legal notice. For questions about orders, please contact the shop directly at ittermann.de.

How reliable are the sources?

We draw a clear distinction between sources from religious studies and history, observations gathered mediumistically, and findings from reception history. The method page and the page on mediumistic information describe our hierarchy of sources in detail.

With every statement in a beings article it should be recognisable whether it rests on an original text, secondary literature or mediumistic perception.

Do I need any special prerequisite to wear the iWell Guard?

No. The pendant is worn like an ordinary piece of jewellery. There are no initiation requirements, no preparatory ritual, no spiritual prerequisite.

Anyone who wishes to work with it may do so; anyone who wears it as a piece of jewellery does not use it up. The experiences of its effect documented in the reports of experience relate to simply wearing it, without any further ritualised practice.

Can children also wear the iWell Guard?

For safety reasons we do not recommend the iWell Guard for children under three years of age, too small, too easy to swallow. For older children and young people there is no restriction.

Parents who acquire an iWell Guard for their child should discuss together with the child what it means to wear such a pendant, and leave the choice to the child whether it wishes to do so.

How do I clean the pendant?

With lukewarm water and a soft cloth. No aggressive cleaning agents, no ultrasonic cleaning. For heavier soiling use a mild dishwashing liquid, rinse well, dry with a soft cloth.

Energetic “cleansing” practices (salt-water bath, full-moon charging, smudging) are not necessary; anyone who practises them from their own tradition may use them, they do not harm the material.

Can I also give the iWell Guard as a gift?

Yes. The pendant is not personalised, not charged or assigned to a particular person. It can be given away, passed on or inherited.

With a gift it is nice to include a short description of the background, feel free to link to the page About the iWell Guard, where you will find everything important about its construction and how to wear it.

What sizes are available?

At present we offer the iWell Guard in a standard size. On request we can, for special wishes, check whether a smaller or larger variant is feasible; this is not a standard programme, however. Feel free to write to us about this via the contact form.

How is the website structured?

The website is divided into several main areas: Beings as an overview of all the figures covered, ordered alphabetically and by class; Cultures as a geographical and historical arrangement; Method with the pages on the cosmic information field, Mediumistic Information and Verification; Reports of experience; Glossary and Literature as reference tools.

The individual beings articles follow a uniform structure: classification, name and variants, description, profile, practice, parallels, literature. This structure makes it easier to compare beings from different cultures.

Are the beings real?

The answer depends on what you mean by “real”. Historically real are the texts in which they are described, Ovid, Hesiod, the Talmud, Akkadian incantation tablets, medieval manuscripts.

Real too is the unbroken cultural influence of many of these beings down to the present day (Lilith in feminist theology, Pazuzu in horror literature, Yokai in Japanese pop culture).

Whether behind the descriptions there stands an ontologically independent reality is a subject of debate in religious studies, which we keep open on the website without claiming a final answer to it.

How far has the collection of beings been developed?

The website currently comprises around 300 fully developed articles from 18 cultural spheres, from Egyptian and Mesopotamian to Greek-Roman, Jewish, Christian, Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist, Tibetan, East Asian, Slavic, Germanic, Celtic, Vodou-related and Oceanic contexts.

The collection is continually being expanded; we fill gaps deliberately according to suggestions from our readers, the state of sources in scholarly debate, and the need for cross-references.

A complete list of all the beings covered can be found in the overview Beings; anyone who wants to compare by culture will find this under Cultures.

May I use content for a term paper or a book project?

For private reading and non-commercial citation in academic work, gladly, with correct attribution (URL and date of access). For longer reuse, translations or commercial use, book publications, film projects, teaching materials, we ask for a short enquiry via the contact form; we then settle the licence individually.

We mark content under an open licence accordingly; without explicit marking the ordinary copyright of Ittermann electronic GmbH applies.
