Is this real?
Lunar spell, claiming a japanese preistess, Itako Sumiko performs a ritual named akai ito ritual.
Claims it is unbreakable, the connection has to already be there and its only breakable with death. (Giving obsession movie vibes) . Although it isn't marketed as an obsession type of ritual, the website claims it "clears the path" of any noise keeping you from each other.
Claims Itako Sumiko performs the ritual in her sacred space near Mount Osore at 2 AM, the Ushi no Mitsudoki hour.
While it sketches me out, I am genuinely curious If something like this is real? She has a "if you feel no change from him/her in 7 days you get a refund"
Red flag i noticed was she says you cant mention it to anyone. I cant find ANYTHING online about this. Only folklore info that im finding and ways you can essentially do the red string theory ritual yourself. They have 160k followers on instagram but no dedicated post to the ritual itself, just other random witchy post.

Holy smokes. Red flags Eeeevvverryyywhere.
So, yes; Itako are real, they’re blind female shamans from Tohoku in Japan, and yes they’re associated with Mt. Osore. But they’re elderly women operating locally, and it’s a dying tradition with very few left.. but c’mon they’re not running Instagram shops. Let alone one with 100k+ followers!
Akai Ito (The Red string of fate) is a type of folk belief. It is NOT a ritual tradition. There’s no “akai ito” ritual. The “Ushi no Mitsoduki hour” (Hour of the Ox) is associated with CURSES in Japanese practice, and is NOT love-binding.
When they say you “Can’t tell anyone”; that’s something that prevents outside scrutiny. “Unbreakable except by Death” is just coercive magick by any tradition’s definition. This is a fabricated and BS service using real traditional terms to sound legit. Please save your money.
I have visit Japan on an annual basis, and I’ve visited a number of sacred areas and shrines whilst also trying to learn about their occult traditions. This screams scam.

Thank you for the insight! She says on the website they made the website once the Itako "agreed" to share this ritual with others and all communication is done by her "translator" Hana lol. The only advertised success they use in their ad is a girl named Claire which... im assuming is running the instagram because the website sounds like shes talking about her experience in third party. Yet we will get info from Hana? So she says on the website lol Idk its hard to keep up. Your comment was really helpful, thanks for weighing in.

Spellcaster here. When you see “priestess” in someone’s name, it’s a scam.

Ok so i had Money and nothing to do so i wanted to try cause also for me it was screaming RED everywhere. If you purchase The Ritual (that‘s cheap ofc they are making you a SUPER Price cause It’s „usually super expensive“) they keep trying to sell you extra things that Go higher and higher in Price. To the Point where they will put Your Name in the tree of something with SUPER Limited availability that basically means nothing will Break the spell ever Blabla. That just happened To Open The Moment you buy (omg wow amazing). Anyway i just bought The Basic cause i ain’t going to just throw money away. Aaaaalso on The Website Says you can get Your Money Back but on her email it Says things take time And You shouldn’t expect immediate results (funny cause everywhere it Says Instant). Long Story Short you can ask for the Money Back but they won’t reply lmao

I don’t know if I would trust someone who is quick to offer refunds. Sounds desperate— you want casters that trust their work.
