Are Love Spells Manipulative?
Another touchy area among practitioners and one of great debate! Are you impeding upon someone's free will? Are you being manipulative, etc.? All I can reveal is my personal opinion on this topic, everyone is entitled to their belief and you must go with what feels true and correct for you on this topic.
The first thing I would like to address is the "manipulative" question I get from so many other practitioners of traditions other than Voodoo. They ask this question about the Bring Me Love Spell Kit & especially, the Bring My Lover Back Spell Kit. They are usually highly critical or judgmental that I offer such ritual kits, not understanding of course, the premise of which they will work. Ironically, they of course ask me all about this manipulative aspect in drawing love or repairing love while dressed head to toe in corsets with push up bras, lacy, flowing seductive dresses, full face of make-up, dyed blond hair, smelling great, shaved legs, breast augmentations, liposuction and the full glamour presentation - hmmm, that's a bit manipulative too though isn't it?
You are artificially looking your very best through cosmetic manipulations on every level to do what I ask????? Attract people! When I point that out to them, they usually stop with their opining on manipulative tactics as they realize they are hypocrites and being quite misleading about how they truly look, smell and how nature created their body all to look like this ideal person to attract a mate, attention or, LOVE!!!!!
So, in my opinion, I do not find love spells manipulative any more than I find trying to appear as you’re very best manipulative. What wrong with trying to draw a special someone into your life to spend time with? What's wrong with wanting to give and receive love? Love Spells are terrific to help bring the right people to you, especially for those who are shy, timid, have been hurt or afraid to try again.
Nor I do not view trying to remedy a rough patch, or working out a difficult situation between 2 people who love each other as manipulative. Many times, people separate for inconsequential reasons: their egos may get in the way, they may be stubborn, afraid of these intense emotions, scared of being rejected so they leave first, etc.
If you are the recipient of such behavior with your loved one, why shouldn't you try to repair the relationship? Ritual work is very effective in allowing a partner see what they have with you and make them open to building upon that love. I know there are those who believe it is morally wrong to try to bring back a lover; they feel it infringes upon their free will, etc. If it does infringe upon their free will, or their Karmic path, or they are so past you in their lives, the RITUALS WILL NOT WORK ANYWAY. I say, why should we be helpless and suffer with the loss of a loved one when indeed, we have to power, through the help of the Lwa and Spirit, to try and remedy it?
Revenge Spells
Yet, another complicated topic among varying paths. I hear all the time Revenge Spells are BAD and this "law of three" rule will occur should you decide to defend yourself, etc. Again, I can only express my opinion on this topic.
I would like to start with this "Law of Three" concept. I personally do not believe in this "Law of Three" concept, especially for situations where people are TRULY trying to hurt or destroy you. From what I am to understand, your work will supposedly come back and kick you three fold for trying to protect and send back harmful, vile or evil works done against you.
I personally have never seen this in effect, nor do I believe it exists. I do believe that what you put out you will get back, especially if unjustified. I do not think protecting yourself from vile and horrid people and sending back their chaos is wrong, in fact, I adamantly believe you have the God given right to defend, protect and repel such people from your lives and this is how a Revenge Spell takes affect actually. It sends back the work and energies to the person who sent them to you in the first place. How that manifests is up to the Lwa & Spirit, but you have every right to request this be carried out to protect you, your livelihood, your children, etc.
Keep in mind, I DO NOT believe Spirit is always fixated on you, nor always catches nasty work or intentions being sent your way. Sometimes, they have to allow things for you to learn and evolve from, sometimes they need to know what is happening as well to best intervene and resolve the situation.
Essentially, sometimes people are the instrument of their own karma - if they gave unjustifiably in your mind gave harm to you, you have to right to send it back to them. I do not see any Karmic issues there in my opinion; I do know many disagree with me and that is fine too; you MUST GO WITH WHAT FEELS BEST FOR YOU!
Also, when conducting any magical ritual, you are always giving up something to affect this change and incur expense: spiritually, emotionally and possibly karmically. There IS ALWAYS a cost, it may not be seen today, you may not know where Spirit is drawing from to affect this change for you or where they may be pulling it from down the road, but there is always a spiritual cost involved for any type of work.
We always say be very careful what you wish for, not only will you get it, but you may find out the cost taken out of somewhere else in your life was too great for the outcome; you may be averted from that job opportunity because you put all of your energies into something else or you may have missed the perfect situation with a partner because you were too focused on fixing the last mate and your relationship issues, etc. These are just some conceptual examples of course on a very complicated topic of the principles of spiritual intervention.
Can I Perform My Own Ritual?
Absolutely! You don't need to be a Voodoo or Witchcraft practitioner to obtain results with your problem; the Lwa (Loas)or Spirits, or Angels, are here to help you and are happy to do so. All you need is a sincere effort and best of intentions when working with your own Spell kit. We provide detailed instructions in each of our spell kits and magical rituals to help you obtain successful results when working with Spirit.
Is Voodoo, Magic – Demonic, Bad, Evil…?
Personally, I have always found "Good, Bad and Evil" are concepts; usually determined by one’s own perception. For example, is it bad that someone else got that job you wanted and you didn't? To you I'm sure it seems "bad", to the other person, I'm sure it seems "good". Essentially, these are concepts that only apply depending upon your perspective.
As for Voodoo, Witchcraft & Ancient Religions, et al, I do want to address first, for people to please stop watching bogus Hollywood movies or TV specials that misrepresent these amazing, Earth-loving & spiritually reciprocal religions. The mass-media images of Voodoo among many others are terribly misleading and completely inaccurate. All religions have entities with both benevolent and dark sides to their nature; in Voodoo, each deity has different personas.
They are the same spirit in essence but from different Voodoo "families" to provide the varying services required. For example, the Rada Family is the most benevolent while the Petro Family is one of the fiercest; our kits use the appropriate Lwa, depending upon your situation, to best serve you, without causing harm to others.
The same concepts hold true for just about every pantheon I know of, all spirits have duality to them depending upon what tasks they have to perform for you. This does not means we do not condone causing harm or seeking revenge on others; we always offer you a better way to resolve your situation. We do understand however, that you ultimately have free will and take no responsibility should you choose a more vengeful method in which to solve your problems.
I have found it's never the "religion" or "spirits" that are bad or harmful, it is more the "religious" that misrepresent or abuse their power and knowledge on behalf of the Spirit World. I have also found a great deal of ignorance in understanding ancient paths and traditions especially in "modern" cultures, which are so very disconnected from spirituality. It is due to these fears of the unknown, ignorance of ancient paths and belief systems that religions like Voodoo are portrayed deplorably and extremely inaccurate.
For example, every day we see the media coming to New Orleans to do a documentary on REAL Voodoo, the authentic religion, they promise to portray the religion accurately, etc. After every single practitioner in New Orleans has spent endless amounts of time educating these slick producers for free, then they run their TV Shows or Films on nothing but Skulls, Human Sacrifices, Vampires, etc. which have nothing to do with Voodoo and completely discounting the religion, spirituality and the education they received on this religion - why you ask?
Because nothing sells better than "gore and glam", and they exploit Voodoo, among many other traditions, to shock and titillate the public to glean viewers. More viewers mean they can sell more toothpaste and shampoo for their advertisers and quite frankly, they could care less about educating the public on any topic for that matter when they can make tons of money off airtime.
Simply stated, if you are basing your perceptions and knowledge on any topic, especially Voodoo or Ancient Religions from TV, Magazines or Films, with the exception of a few very legitimate media outlets (National Geographic for example), do not consider the information valid. Mass media is not a source of legitimate, intelligent information or research on any topic in all honesty.
Miscellaneous Silly Questions (Which Will NOT Be Responded to)
No, we cannot help you win the lottery or make you millions overnight - you must help yourself in order to be successful, there are no quick shortcuts to a success; we can however, help you open up doors of opportunities with certain money products.
No, we cannot help you walk on water; become invisible, fly on a broomstick, light people on fire by looking at them, summon vampires, make you taller, shorter, skinnier, change your eye, hair or skin color, reverse your age or anything else equally as ridiculous.
No, we cannot guarantee you will become a movie star, marry a movie star, become famous, or the president, or anything else you desire that is purely ego driven.
No, we cannot insure you will become pregnant, marry someone who doesn't love you, and separate a family because you LUST AFTER a particular married person.
No, we cannot turn someone who is gay into someone straight, make you a Don Juan or a Femme Fatale, or anything else as equally unrealistic. Certain products we carry will certainly enhance your attractiveness to certain people and can make you more desirable to certain people, but you must be reasonable in your expectations.
We are here to help with legitimate life problems, please do not disrespect our beliefs by asking me to help you with the ridiculous concepts you see on TV, in the movie theaters, or in comic books about supernatural powers. An invisible world certainly exists parallel to ours of course, but not for impressing people with parlor tricks, only to help people in difficult situations.
Love Spells & Voodoo Spells Performed for You!
A little more about Love Spells, Voodoo Spells, Witchcraft Spell Rituals and Magickal Rituals performed on your behalf at Freya’s House.
The Love Spells, Voodoo Spells and Voodoo Rituals performed on your behalf offered on Freya’s House website are quick Voodoo rituals to affect specific changes in your life. Our showcased Love Spells, Voodoo Spells and Voodoo Rituals are for normal situations: if your situation is very complicated, long-term interferences, or involve spiritual attacks and other outside interferences, our Love Spells, Voodoo Spells and Voodoo Rituals will help, but probably will not undo all the long-term damage. Other more intense and lengthier Custom Voodoo Spells are available for such complicated cases – please schedule a consultation to review the details of your case if you feel your situation falls into this category. For those that are working within the normal bell-curve of life’s challenges within your relationship or situation, these Love Spells, Voodoo Spells and Voodoo Rituals are a perfect solution!
Let us address the number one question we receive about our Love Spells, Voodoo Spells and Voodoo Rituals: TIME FRAMES! How long for Love Spells, Voodoo Spells and Voodoo Rituals to manifest results and the answer is: it depends upon the complexity of your personal situation and the amount of damage or interference within your relationship or situation and how truthful you are about your situation initially – every situation is unique and therefore, timing always varies. We have found however, results for most Love Spells, Voodoo Spells and Voodoo Spell Rituals typically manifest within 2-8 weeks. Rarely is a situation or relationship fixed overnight, please remember, your relationship or situation did not deteriorate overnight either – that took time to dissolve and misalign with all parties involved participating in the deterioration. You must give all Love Spells, Voodoo Spells and Voodoo Rituals time to align and rebalance, please have faith and patience during the rituals.
Anyone who tries to claim their Love Spells, Voodoo Spells, Witchcraft Spells or Magic Spells can fix your relationship or situation overnight, or guarantee results within 48 hours or any other outlandish claim is lying and preying upon your emotional grief and desperation – period. Please bear that in mind no matter how badly you need to hear those words, or desperately want to believe all will be resolved in a day – it won’t and to think so is unrealistic. Love Spells, Magic Spells, Voodoo Spells, and Ritual work simply does not operate within human concepts of instant gratification, quick fix and magic beans; it is a process of untangling, realigning, healing, evolving and maneuvering the energies at play to affect these changes for the best possible outcomes.
Voodoo Spells, Love Spells and Spiritual rituals ALWAYS HELPS any situation and well worth the time and energy! Whether it be to push you through a major transformation for growth, evolve your consciousness & awareness, or move you forward from something, or someone which no longer serves the greater good in your life, release needless attachments, trauma, destructive behaviors, and negativity you are clinging to, or placing you on a more beneficial path: all Love Spells, Voodoo Spells and Spiritual work produce enormous benefit! The Divine Voodoo Spirits (or any Deity for that matter) know so much more than we could ever, so you must trust their intercession and timing on matters to insure the most beneficial alignment for you.
When our highly experienced, initiated Priests or Priestesses at Freya’s House perform your Love Spells, Voodoo Spells, Magick Rituals or any Custom rituals, they are petitioning your requests/desires/prayers in a formal ritual on your behalf based upon the details and materials you provide. Our practitioners work with the appropriate Lwa’s (Divine Vodou spirits) to intercede and bring forth the outcome you are seeking, using the sacred tools and powerful ritual techniques, as passed down in the Magickal traditions for thousands of years. Our clients have experienced fantastic results – please read our testimonials page to learn about their experiences – and those that had the fastest results, are those that put forth the most efforts into their Love Spells, Voodoo Spells, and Magick Ritual.
Here are a few things you can do to support your Love Spells, Voodoo Spells and Magick Ritual work:
Do not obsess over your Love Spells or Voodoo Spells – this creates more negative energy around you
Use the recommended Voodoo Spells, Love Spells or Voodoo Ritual items as suggested – this enhances and reinforces all the spiritual energy for the desired outcome
Do not harass ~stalk ~ berate ~ impose~ interrogate ~ challenge ~ emotionally terrorize ~ check up on ~ intercept emails or phone calls ~ or behave in any other obsessive way towards your heart’s desire or their friends – this truly reverses all the ritual work performed on your behalf – accept the space between you both for now
Learn detachment and remain calm during your Love Spells and Voodoo Spells – I know, it’s very hard when you are so hurt and unsure, but releasing that anxiety and obsessive thinking over your ex will open up more paths of communication between you both – TRUST ME – detaching shifts the energy in your favor - this includes obsessive, hysterical or chronic messages for attention to any practitioners you are working with. Spiritual workers are there to help with the spiritual side of your problem/issues, you are responsible for YOU and you need to look inward, not to the external for your issues as well; especially if you are experiencing these types of emotional imbalances, fixation or histrionics to an extreme or unhealthy degree.
Love Spells, Voodoo Spells and Voodoo Rituals work on the spiritual plane: As Above So Below! Whatever has manifested here started up there. You must also work on your own physical alignment and emotional wellbeing – all THREE planes should be as cleansed and balanced as possible for optimum results.
Always perform some sort of spiritual cleansing, banishing bath ritual, healing ritual or releasing ritual first – this removes blockages internally and externally and gives the Divine space to bring you your desires
Do not discuss your Love Spells, Voodoo Spells or Voodoo Rituals else other than specific practitioner– PERIOD - this will only cause needless interference and energy in your life
It is best to touch base with us a couple of weeks after your ritual is performed and let us know of your updates and progress, as that is when we will be able to see how it is manifesting. We will not have any gauge of your work until sometime after your Love Spells, Voodoo Spells and Magick Rituals are performed. Daily emails or phone calls during your ritual work are strongly discouraged as this takes our time and energy away from your ceremony and if excessive, belligerent or abusive in time, they will not be responded to as we cannot nor do not encourage such unhealthy fixations.
Please use common sense and your own judgment when interacting with those involved in your relationship as we do not to tell you how to react, behave, respond or advise you on your daily life choices or communications within your relationship. If you need that life coaching guidance, please schedule a consultation so we can delve into your details at that time to provide the time needed for such services
If you have also performed your own Love Spells, Voodoo Spells and Voodoo Spell Kits as recommended, use the remaining sacred tools after your Love Spells and Voodoo Spells are completed to focus on your petition
Be prepared for the root causes of the problem to surface during your Love Spells, Voodoo Spells and Voodoo Rituals; often, it is NEVER what you think. Likewise, be prepared to accept and cope with any new information on the causes of the breakdown or problems – spirit will always reveal the truth
It is not uncommon for other Love Spells, Voodoo Spells and other Rituals to be performed as the layers of your situation are revealed: remember there is always a ritual solution for new information or altered circumstances
If you are suffering emotionally and your mind just cannot stop thinking about your loved one or situation, keep performing cleansing and healing rituals to lift and remove that negativity – sometimes you may have to release in stages and work through the pain and anxiety. Just think how fantastic you will feel once it’s fully removed from your Ashé (life force)
Know you are loved and truly worthy of healthy, respectful and reciprocal love from others – KNOW THIS like you know nothing else
Do not get caught in the negative grief cycle, this lowers your vibration and blocks all ritual work from manifesting, instead, acknowledge you are feeling destroyed at the moment, and then refuse to accept it – this works wonders with Love Spells, Voodoo Spells and Spiritual work
Remember, you are a face of the Divine as they are a face of you – you are empowered by everything – let your Love Spells and Voodoo Spells empower you
Finally, FAITH, PATIENCE & TIME move mountains with Love Spells, Voodoo Spells and Magic Spells – learn them, live them and accept them – you will find this expedites your outcome!
Spiritual Scams!
Ok folks, this is for all the millions of calls I get per day in the store with the same story. "I gave so and so thousands of dollars for something or other, and now I cannot locate them, they will not return my call, they will not email me back, I think I've been scammed…."
I always ask: who is this person (or company) and what were the details of the situation? I ask this out of respect for my colleagues as well; often legitimate practitioners get blamed when their client didn't win the lotto of something equally as ridiculous, so out of respect for those amazing practitioners available in the world, I always give them the benefit of the doubt as many people often have unreasonable expectations to begin with NO MATTER how many times they are told the reality of spiritual work and possible outcomes.
This DOES NOT MEAN you have been scammed just because "Johnny married another woman after all" or you "didn't win the Nobel Prize" or they couldn't make your "Karma different then what YOU wanted". Any legitimate practitioner will disclose the potential outcomes and the realities of situations that cannot be altered. If you choose not to listen and go ahead with someone's spell ritual anyway, do not blame Voodoo for no results, you got results, the results were just not what YOU wanted - please read the Does Voodoo Work Section for more explanation.
I always say, your prayers and petitions to the spirits are ALWAYS answered; sometimes the answer is "No!"
For those who have been truly scammed and ripped off, my heart goes out to you; it is disgraceful and embarrassing for every spiritual worker to hear of yet another scumbag has preyed on the vulnerable. So many practitioners and spiritual workers I personally know are so devout and dedicated to serving and have provided incredible assistance to their clients for years. Here's how you can determine if you are working with a shady practitioner or spiritual organization.
They have no legitimate method of which to receive funds for their items, such as a merchant account or credit card capability, no phone number (except a $9.99 per minute toll line for the privilege of speaking to the Guru), no business address, street address, live humans answering the phone or returning phone calls! If they are operating using e-payments or Western Union or money order only, that should raise a red flag. Normally, legitimate businesses undergo much scrutiny, credit checks, and background checks, operating license verification and financial review before a bank will issue them a merchant account, which certainly increases their credibility and gives you the consumer, an avenue to locate the company should a dispute arise.
They address themselves as "The Amazing This and That" "The Most Powerful This and That" "The Voodoo Queen or King of This and That" and are STILL not accessible in any way other than the cloak of the internet with no names, addresses, and contact information except for a P.O. BOX!
They GUARANTEE the outcome work! I GUARANTEE this is a SCAM - "send me thousands and I GUARANTEE Johnny will return" for example - that is ridiculous to even consider as they ARE NOT GOD and cannot possibly know what is going on with Johnny's Karma!
They demand, force, insist, terrorize you into sending money immediately even though they have NOT conducted any consultation or divination to even determine what is going on in your situation!
Their initial consultation, should you even obtain one, always tells you this situation can be repaired, reconciled or fixed in amazingly, 24 - 72 hours (or whatever idiotic time frame) - for sure, just send them money and all will be perfect. Yeah, right!
Ritual work ALWAYS requires thousands of dollars for them to perform - this is simply NOT TRUE!!!! While some rituals can for sure, often, something subtle like a good cleansing and banishing ritual can move mountains for you.
USE YOUR BRAINS NOT YOUR EMOTIONS: Find out how or observe HOW the purported most powerful guru LIVES, their environment, their friends, and their stability. If they are living in the SEWER and cannot maintain the most basic elements of continuity; for example: cannot keep their phone connected, cannot seem to pay their bills, cannot seem to live a balanced life, seem embittered and nasty about everyone, are always the victim of spiritual attacks, trash other practitioners behind their backs to get your business, live in abject poverty or filth although claim to be able to make you millions, or cannot seem to maintain a stable existence on any level, how on Earth are they going to HELP YOU with anything. They can't even manage their own lives. Who cares what they say to about their powers, purported knowledge, levels of initiations: the first sign of a strong spiritual worker is THE QUALITY OF THEIR OWN LIVES!!!!!! How are they living? Are they mindful, disciplined, honorable, hard workers, truthful, responsible, accountable and respectful to themselves, their environment and most importantly, Spirit? FIND OUT FIRST!!!!! Many purported Spiritual Master "talk the talk" , look good on paper, tell you everything you want to hear, but can they TRULY "walk the walk" of maintaining a spiritual life & serving above all else?
If they are hiding all the pertinent information from the public there is a reason. Ask them how long they have been in business; request their Business License Numbers, Incorporation Federal ID Number, State Tax Information (if applicable), City Tax Information, the Owners REAL Name and Address, etc. If they refuse, RUN NOW! Any legitimate business has the following: Tax ID, Sales Tax Exemption Number, City & State (if applicable to State Taxes) Account Numbers, Business License, Occupational License, etc. Ask for it! Better yet, visit their place of business and ask to see it, most Occupational licenses have to have it displayed by LAW!
If they truly work just off the web, find out where they meet with clients, find out how they are accessible to see face to face, find out who they associate with and what stores for example. I know many AMAZING practitioners who truly work out of their homes and will always meet clients at colleague's stores or temples should that be required. There is nothing wrong with NOT having a store front as they can substitute many safe places to meet and get acquainted, or phone consultations and professional email exchanges, but there is something wrong when these practitioners are not accessible by any reasonable avenue.
What is Lwa, Loa, or Orisha?
Without getting into the differences between the varying traditions, the Lwa, Loas or Orishas are the Voudou Spirits; The Invisibles; The Mysteries; simply stated: God's messengers & helpers. We have thousands of them in the Voudou Pantheon and all of which serve different areas of human needs. Voudou is such a reciprocal religion, for the Lwa to serve you; you must sincerely serve the Lwa with your gifts, offerings, acknowledgment, prayers and faith when petitioning their assistance.
How Do Our Products Work?
This is a very common question from customers, how exactly does applying this elixir or using this fetish, etc. actually work for me? There are a few levels to this actually! First, all Authentic Voodoo or Spiritual products, the most powerful ones anyway, are hand-crafted; essentially, this is so the "ache" or "ashe" (pronounced Ah-shay - "life force") OR "fos" (force in Kreyòl) of the practitioner is infused into each and every item during the crafting process.
Every practitioner is essentially "claimed" by certain Lwa or Spirits and through ritualizing each product after they are handcrafted, it draws the energy and spiritual power from the Lwa that either "sit on the head of the practitioner" and/or the Lwa & Spirits they are ritualizing the spiritual items for, thereby giving you the benefit of their power and assistance.
Some are spiritual energies are more intense than others and our products are known to be very high-energy and intense so don't be thwarted by the energy you feel; that type of energy will only benefit you in your ritual.
Also, since Voodoo is an animate religion, we believe everything has Ache (a Life Force), therefore, since there are magical life forces in everything, using the most organic elements such as roots, herbs, plants, sand, stones, water, precious oils, etc. bring forth their magical energies into your ritual or spiritual work. We know certain elements vibrate on different frequencies if you will, to affect specific changes in your life which is why authentic formulary and elements are so crucial to effective spiritual products.
Also, the quality of these ingredients and elements that go into our products make an enormous difference. We only use the finest organic herbs, roots, plants, rare and precious 100% pure essential oils, ottos, attars and absolutes, hand-pressed ritual powders, hand-brewed and hand-blended elixirs, anointing oils & potions to insure great results for you. We carefully craft each and every item by hand at Freya’s House and every practitioner showcased on our site subscribes to that same philosophy.
Our products are not meant to be hypoallergenic, so we always recommend a test patch before applying large quantities of our oils to the skin. We make no claims for our products - they are sold as curios.
All of Freya’s House Magical Perfumes, Love Potions, and Exquisite Elixirs & Body Pastes are already handcrafted and ritualized for you, all you need to do is apply to the body like you would any perfume or body spray. I receive many emails from people not sure of how to use them, and I don't include instructions with these product lines as they are Spiritual Body Perfumes and Sprays and you merely wear them to affect these changes in your life.
Free Spiritual Services
I get a lot of email from people who want to conduct their own rituals, buy or make their own products or do it all themselves, and then want FREE lessons as to how to invoke the Lwa, or what offerings to leave on which days, or how to properly use a Veve, etc.
Or we receive emails from people who buy other people's products and because they are never available to answer your question, respond to your email nor have a phone number, they call us to explain how to use them - as if we'd know how to use someone else's items. We honestly have no idea what they are giving you or how they want you to use the items so you need to contact the place where you bought your items and ask them for assistance.
We only provide instructions, consultations and assistance to clients; a CLIENT being defined as a paying customer. If you want to do it yourself or do it elsewhere - please do - and we wish you the VERY BEST of success, however, please don't expect our practitioners to provide you instructions, advice, Veves, techniques or anything else related to your own ritual work or explain another companies ritual work. Also, there are many terrific resources on the web and in print, if you are that interested in conducting your own rituals, please put a little effort into your research.
I also get a lot of questions as to why spiritual services cost money or can they pay after they "see" results. This one surprises me since I haven't heard of anyone yet working for FREE in any other industry and I'm sure you don't either. Please respect everyone's professional time as we do yours. Also, everyone must pay before any ritual work is performed, otherwise we won't be able to obtain the tools and offerings needed to begin your ritual. Second, since the concept of "results" is truly left to the Lwa or Spirit and what they deem is necessary or beneficial to you, therefore, we cannot control every aspect they have to maneuver to bring you the desired outcome and in what time frame. Please review the aforementioned sections on Do Rituals Work, Guarantees as that question not only won't be entertained, but we won't even respond if asked.
We are skilled workers; we have trained, studied, paid our dues, practiced, failed, succeeded, sacrificed, continuously study and learn to serve you better each and every day, therefore, it is WORK, just like any other job. When everyone else starts working for FREE, so will we. Products, time, divination, altar rooms, offerings, consultations to our Godparents - just to name a few of the extensive elements that go into being a practitioner - all cost money; no such thing as FREE oils, herbs, roots, plants, fetishes, dolls, labor, products, offerings, masterful knowledge, gifts for the Lwa and operating expenses.
Few expect a Catholic, Baptist, Jewish Ceremony, Wedding, Baptism, Service, Event, etc. to be free, the same concept and respect applies to all other religions as well.
Also, just because a practitioner charges for their time and you didn't GET THE EXACT results you thought you should, doesn't mean they didn't do their very, very best for you. Every practitioner I know pours 100% of their power, energy, knowledge and effort into your ritual and often won't even take a case on unless they get an approval from their Lwa (Angels) to do so; this kind of dedication to both you and their Lwa (Angels) are invaluable. What little is charged is usually for the offerings, the rituals themselves and the practitioner's time for the intense amount of planning, knowledge, work and divinations that go into your ritual.
