Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect from a reading?
All readings involve making an energetic connection between the reader and the person getting a reading. The reader will then interpret impressions we receive through our inner senses and share them with the person getting the reading. If it is a mediumship sitting, then this information will involve communications from someone in Spirit. A reader may use a tool to focus their psychic senses and intuition, such as tarot or playing cards, crystal ball gazing, or even astrology or numerology. We tend to use the tools most appropriate to the client’s question or focus for the reading.
What’s being psychic like?
Well, everyone has access to their psychic senses – “psychics” just have practiced a lot with them. Psychic impressions are not the overwhelming visions seen in movies or the conversational telepathy you see in comic books. Impressions take place in the same space of the mind as memory and imagination (a space of mind I call the sensorium). We have to learn the difference between our imaginative thoughts, our memory experiences, sensory information that is currently coming in from our eyes/ears/nose/etc and the psychic sensory information that we receive. All of these impressions are connected and interpreted by our intuition (which you can think of as your innate ability to see patterns and put puzzle pieces together). So being psychic is less like calling up your dead grandma on the phone for a conversation, and more like a crazy game of multi-sensory charades.
What do you mean by spiritualist and rootworker?
Spiritualist is a term that means many different things to many people. The context in which I use the term is as a spiritual ritualist. This means that I perform limited ritual services on behalf of clients for the advancement of their goals, the deepening of their relationship to spirit, and to energetically and ritually support them in the balancing, cleansing, strengthening and banishing of various spiritual conditions.
Rootworker refers to my work with herbs, roots, minerals and curios in both the healing and magical capacity. Rootworker and Spiritualist are terms used in Southern Conjure/Hoodoo traditions. I blend my upbringing in conjure with my priesthood to offer ceremonial support for my clients.
This support is currently offered through the setting of lights (candle magick), and the construction of various charms and talismans. I magically support the goals of healing, spiritual development, and money/love/luck drawing. I do NOT support coercive workings, lover return to me, cursing, negative or otherwise “hot” or harmful workings.
