The Demon Jar
For thousands of years, since the time of the Celts, the Daughters of Naamah have been waging a secret war against a demonic entity that is hell-bent on corrupting humankind. Using ancient magic, they managed to weaken the demon enough to trap it in jars. All they needed to do after that is to keep a vigilant watch on the jars to make sure they do not get destroyed.
The Daughters failed.
All jars but a few were broken. The demon regained some of its power and the ritual must be performed again to strengthen the bonds that hold it in its clay prison. The ritual is dangerous, and not without great personal risk. You must be very brave, or very foolish, to accept the burden of this responsibility.
Synopsis
Once a year, a demon would take possession of some poor soul and use them to wreak havoc and corruption. Once a year, the Daughters of Naamah find the possessed person, take them to their secret chamber, and use ancient magic to force the demon into a small piece of the victim’s palm where it can be carved out and sealed away in a specially prepared clay vessel. Each time this happens, the demon gets weaker.
As time went by, the demon was finally weak enough so that it could be captured. The Daughters thought it was safe and returned only once a year to cast a ritual to reinforce the seals on the jars. Their vigilance grew lax.
Then in 2015, an archeologist uncovered a secret chamber where, possessed by an unknown force, he began to smash the clay jars within. Luckily, a Daughter managed to stop him before they were all destroyed, and the demon could be freed.
In addition to the impious and eponymous “Demon Jar”, you will receive a cache of artifacts and instruments that will enable you to perform the ritual to keep the demon trapped. We believe you can save us – nay, the world – from the throes of this possession.
Audience
The Demon Jar is an intense horror experience. It is not appropriate to send to anyone who might be sensitive to disturbing material, and is recommended for those 16 and older. It includes fictional occult rituals and objects, and therefore may not be appropriate for all audiences.

I just received "The Demon Jar" as a birthday present from my husband. This is the second Mysterious Package he has given me (the first was Call of Cthulhu) and I am thrilled! The attention to detail is exquisite. Such fun to read through all the materials and maybe I'll even try the ritual ;)
Interesting story, and fascinating relics for anyone interested in demonology
I have purchased a number of packages from The Mysterious Package Company. I have not been disappointed with any of them. The Demon Jar is no exception. Because of the effect that the first package I received, sent to me without any notice by a daughter, had such an effect upon me, I have purchased packages for other people now, and plan to do so again in the future. Thank you, The Mysterious Company package, for injecting renewed excitement into this world. I hope you continue for many. many years.
And many, many thanks for your review. We're thrilled you enjoyed your experience with us!
I got my sister The Demon Jar for her birthday and she loved it! She immeadiately put all the papers in a frame (after carefully viewing each piece of course!).
The Jar itself is an amazing well crafted artifact that really did come in a very stubborn wooden box.
There is even sealing wax and salt in a bag for a secret ritual!
She has been proudly showing off this experience to anyone who will give her the time.
Keep up the awesome work guys!
Ordered for my wife who is very interested in ghosts and possession.
I accidentally opened the box and was surprised at the detail put into the package.
Of course I had to cover my tracks, I decided to make the package just a little more ominous.
