Gifts and Talents, Increasing Psychic Skills, Becoming a Professional Reader or Rootworker

Unread post by **Devi Spring** » Sat Oct 23, 2010 6:36 pm

J82 gives good advice. Becoming more skilled through practice, and then through taking Cat's class is a fantastic way to develop your gifts.

You can also consider having a reading done with an AIRR worker to see what gifts you may be particularly well suited with, and can also hire many of them for magical coaching sessions on subjects that you are interested in. http://www.readersandrootworkers.org.

I would suggest that if you don't already you begin honoring your ancestors - that will go a long way to support and aid your practice. Also work with Psychic Vision and Master Key products to help open up your natural skills.

Best of luck!

Hi everyone,

First I am sorry if I chose the wrong area to post this in, I wasn't really sure where it belongs mainly because it's more of a general question and not so specfic to LM products.

Just wanted to get some feedback on something that I am expierencing.

It seems I have a gift for helping others. I preformed job spells for two individuals and within a few weeks, they both began working again. While the job spells I've done on my own behalf have had no results (not that I'm doubting or question my own work) but more wondering why I can't bring solid results for myself.

My healing work both on myself, my partner and our relationship also working well, same for our reconcilliation work also successful in work I've done on behalf of my best friend regarding her school and some people who were giving her a hard time at school.

So I guess I'm wondering if my own personal feelings (stress, worry - my unemployment benefits have ended and the little I've saved is dwindling quickly) blocking my ability to focus correctly for my own work?
Thanks so much in advance!

My landlord been harassing me since I moved in last 10 months who refused to do repairs and putting blam on me always. Her intention is to keep my larg deposit if I move out before lease is over due to constant harassment. Whwn I email her asking any question, she refused to co-operate. And all of a sudden email me week latter threatening to take me court not paying rent as lease will be over in Dec 2010, I decided to take her to court not doing repairs. She is not accepting my certified mails either coming back to me saying there is no such address. Fact is she live there even if she never given me her address when I asked her.

All of a sudden emailing me saying QUIT OR PAY. I got BEND OVER SPELL items from Lucky Mojo few months back. I like to find out WHAT DAY/TIME TO START THIS SPELL. Thanks!

I mean there could be a number of reason why your own job spell work is not working for your situation.

1) Your own dwelling on the situation, and overthinking could be effecting your work. Sometimes I know when I do work for other people and they do not know what to expect or naive to spellwork...things sometimes happen quicker for them. I guess because they do not have any expectation or they are just not aware that I am even doing something to help them in the first place

2) If you are performing the same job spell you did for one person, for yourself, then it might not be the best approach. You may need something extra such as a road opener, uncrossing work, etc done before you attempt to do the job spell.

3) You may need to get a reading done on what would be the best approach and materials to work with for your situation. I know some people like to jump in first...THEN get the reading. But it needs to be the opposite. Sometimes getting a reading can save you so much more money than if you jump off into doing things first. In this case, I would recommend getting a reading so that you can understand what those obstacles are, and perhaps given some clues on where to look for work.

4) Things could be working, but you need to give more time for things to manifest. Okay so your friends got jobs in a matter of weeks. Well, that might not be the case for you...it might be a matter of months.

5 If you are not working with timing such as the days of the week, planetary hours, moon phases, etc, then you might want to start as it can add energy to your work. No it is not mandatory but it can definitely help. On the other hand you

6) You may need some professional back up work in this situation. I mean even some professionals get together with other professionals to give their own personal work some umph. I know I work with a friend, and we do work to back the others. Nothing is wrong with that, and actually it can perhaps give a different perspective.

I mean I can name more reasons but for the sake of things I wont...it might be a book lol. But sometimes the universe says no. The answer is simply no, and not all spellwork is granted so easily. Perhaps things are going to take more time for you, and you need to reevaluate the work you are doing magically, and where you are looking for jobs.

I would definitely get a reading to see what else can be done.

We find this happens from time to time in spiritual work. Some people can work for others, but can't do a spell for themselves. Others are the reverse. They can help themselves, but are unable to muster the power to assist others.

Some attribute to the "giftedness" of people. Personally, I believe with a bit of introspection and diligence you'll be able to discover what is blocking you (usually it is an unconscious mental block, hence introspection) and remedy the situation.

I recommend working with Power Products and Master Key products to help further unfold your abilities.

Just to throw in my own experience, I'm in a situation where I'm looking at communication, separation, and drawing work. Since I'm still pretty angry about how it all went down, I'm having a rootworker work the communication side while I do the separation/hotfoot. I definitely miss and want to restore communication with the person, but I'm afraid right now the message I might send is "Call me so I can tear you a new one." I've also had LM set lights for me in the past because I was too emotional about the situation, and it made all the difference in the world.

Does magical ability or conjuring run in families and, if so, does it tend to go down a matrilineal line? My mother has this amazing ability to get people to do whatever she wants. It's a level of charm and intuition that's amazing to find, not to mention she figured out herself she had ovarian cancer early enough to survive it for 20 years now. I don't know much about my grandmother, but I do remember her singing little folk healing charms to me when I was younger. Now, talking to my mother, she told me a story about how her maternal grandmother was well known in their village b/c she would randomly move all the furniture when her husband was out at least once a month. She just thought it made the house "feel" better.

It doesn't matter, I suppose, in terms of my own ability, but I've recently lost my maternal grandmother and last grandparent, so it would be comforting if this practice of mine isn't just something of mine but something that runs in my family. Thoughts?

Unread post by **starsinthesky7** » Wed Jan 26, 2011 5:08 pm

Yes, it can run in families, and I have seen it run in both sides of the family. For example, Miss Bri and her mother both are rootworker, and card readers from AIRR.

I know in my family my great grandmother believes and does folk magic but doesnt call it "magic" per se. She calls it being superstitious. Some families are more open with it than others, but definitely it can run in families.

Unread post by **Devi Spring** » Wed Jan 26, 2011 5:09 pm

Like any predisposition to a particular talent, psychic gifts/spiritual sensitivity can run in families. Just like being athetic or artistic can run in families. I don't know that it "tends to" run in matrilineal lines more than patrilineal, but it can. It does in my family.

Unread post by **ConjureMan** » Wed Jan 26, 2011 11:06 pm

Like all talents, magical ability and seership does run in families. I come from a long line of professional spiritual workers many of whom went on to become folk saints that are still revered and petitioned to this day in various regions.

There are some traditions that indicate that such abilities come more from the mother's side of the family, but in my case my father's side were spiritual practictioners while my mother's side had latent talent that they only employed in mysticism.

To learn more about the "gift" consider taking Miss cat's course where she devotes a whole section to talking about such information and other indications of having the gift for this work.

Buttercup · Unread post by **Buttercup** » Thu Jan 27, 2011 4:37 pm

I,too, believe that magical ability and seership runs in families. I know for a fact that my mother is a very intuitive person and has the ability to dream true and also has frequent contact with the spirits of people who have passed through her dreams,both family members and people she barely knew, who come and ask her to tell their families that they are ok and happy etc or give info about precious things they had in their homes hidden in order for the family to locate them. For many years I believed that it was just my mother and me who had such abilities,but I recently found out that my great-grandmother and her mother used to be the town's witches and seers,and my dad's grandfather was a very powerful healer who was considered very wise and people always asked for his advice in major decisions. So I guess I have ancestors that were spiritual workers from both sides.
Maybe the belief that such talents come more from the mother's side has to do with the fact that women are considered more intuitive by nature,but that's just my guess on this.

Hello everyone, Is it customary to get a reading to assess your abilities or skill with hoodoo? Sometimes I think I've been gifted with at least some level of skill and then other times I think I've got no skills at all. Is is typical to get a reading to see if you are gifted for this kind of work? Is that done?

thank you

Unread post by **catherineyronwode** » Tue Mar 08, 2011 10:25 am

Hi, Melissa. I am not sure it is "customary," since many people just push ahead thinking they have a way forward until they meet with blockages, but paying for a reading to assess your spiritual gifts is actually a very good idea. You might also ask at the same time why you are lacking in self-confidence.

Any of the readers and diviners at AIRR should be glad to help you sort through this question. If there is one to whom you feel most attracted, choose him or her to be your spiritual guide in this matter.

I have been advised to work on developing and strengthing my intuition and to not solely go on my gut reactions.

What line of products should I use? Clarity? Wisdom? A combination of the two, or something entirely different?

Thank you.

I would go with Psychic Vision along with King Solomon Wisdom. You could also add some Master Key in there, as it helps you master all manner of spiritual and occult abilities.

Unread post by **aura** » Wed Jul 27, 2011 11:34 am

Hi Virgosleo,

Clarity and King Solomon Wisdom are both good choices and combine well - Tranquility can also be added to help keep a level head. I'm particularly partial to King Solomon Wisdom in relation to work situations and find that anointing with it daily helps keep things calm, cool and collected. (As a small tangent if u'll permit - to remember to listen to the good advice around me, I use King Solomon Wisdom to oil my ear jewelry since I wear large wooden stretches - it helps a lot

)

Other product combos you may want to consider that can help develop personal power and strength as well intuition:

Power (http://www.luckymojo.com/power.html) + Master Key (http://www.luckymojo.com/masterkey.html)
John the Conqueror (http://www.luckymojo.com/johntheconqueror.html) + Solomon seal root (http://www.luckymojo.com/oil-solomon-seal.html)

Blessings and best of luck.

Hey all.
I've been looking through my books and over the interwebs and I can't find anything that can help this certain situation.

My friend Katie has the ability to see spirits and feel other people's energy fields. She doesn't want to be able to do either as it's effecting her life and refuses to learn how to control them. Instead wanting to stop it from happening all together.

If anyone knows anything to dull/block/inhibit spiritual abilities it would be a huge help.

Thanks in advance!
~Michelle

Actually, and as you are aware, LunaChanNekoJin, this forum discusses Lucky Mojo products and services. Still I will recommend that your friend contact one of AIRR readers and rootworkers who may offer a consultation service that includes what you are asking.

http://www.readersandrootworkers.org/wi ... Mediumship

If you look to the right of the window, you will see a list of AIRR Readers and Rootworkers who perform spirit mediumship work for clients.

Because these individual have this gift, they may offer a consultation to your friend.

Unread post by **catherineyronwode** » Tue Aug 09, 2011 3:07 pm

I would also like to note that there are cases when what appears to friends to be the unwanted ability to see spirits or hear spirit voices is actually a case of the early onset of a severe mental illness. God forbid that this should be happening to your friend, but as a friend, it is worthwhile to examine the situation with clear knowledge of that possibility.

I would recommend that your friend, if not mentally ill, learn to work with a friendly and helpful spirit guide. Try using Spirit Guide Oil on the pulse points and third eye area.

OIL-HOO-SPIR
Spirit Guide Oil
$6.00

Alternatively, many people like to use Indian Spirit Guide Oil, to draw in a Native American spirit guide.

OIL-HOO-INDI
Indian Spirit Guide Oil
$6.00

The two oils can be combined, of course, and they can also be combined with Psychic Vision Oil.

OIL-HOO-PSYC
Psychic Vision Oil

$6.00

It is my opinion that a person who cannot learn to control and benefit from the gift of spiritual sight may have serious problems that need addressing in another way. That is, seeking to dull or expunge gifts of the spirit is not in harmony with the nature of the gift. It would be like saying, "Hey, i am a naturally fast runner so i will cut my foot off to stop myself from running fast ever again" or "I have a beautiful singing voice but i want to have a froggy old out-of-tune voice instead, so i will smoke cigarettes until i get esophageal cancer."

LunaChanNekoJin · Unread post by **LunaChanNekoJin** » Tue Aug 09, 2011 3:46 pm

jwmcclin - Yeah I was wondering if there was anything in Lucky Mojo's arsenal that could. Like any oils/incenses/whatever that could possibly be used for it.

Cat - Yeah, Katie's had this all her life. It's more cause it scares her. I also posted this on another board and relayed the comments to her through her sister. They all say the same, that she should learn how to control it and such (something we've been telling her but she's been to stubborn to listen to). She doesn't like it but knows it's true and is "thinking about it". I'm relaying your suggestions to her.

For years I have had this ability to sense what a person is feeling. Relationship problems, joy, deceit, etc., good and bad things. I get a feeling of it and can interpret it exactly and also get a feeling of what the problem needs to be fixed/healed. I have had several people tell me I'm a healer but to me this has been so natural my whole life that it never occurred to me that it was anything special. While i'm doing it, it literally feels like my spirit is opening, beaming (don't know any other way to describe it), it feels like tremendous joy, and like I am connecting with the other persons spirit too. It's like I can get into the root of whatever the person is experiencing and then I can change it (only if the person is open and willing to the change obviously), like I know exactly what it needs to transform. I haven't done it much with physical illness, mostly emotional problems. What in the heck would you call that? Just empathy or common sense? Or maybe i'm just NUTS

Sorry if it sounds confusing, I really have a hard time explaining it.

Also, I can sense blocks, resistance, and know if i'm supposed to not deal with it at all.

It sounds like you are psychic. I think everybody is psychic to a degree, but some are more open and/or more talented or practiced than others, just like with anything. LM has some products to enhance the gift such as Clarity and Solomon's Wisdom. I highly recommend those and I am probably going to try the "Psychic Vision" oil my next purchase.

Wild at Heart · Unread post by **Wild at Heart** » Tue Aug 23, 2011 4:36 pm

Well, my BG experience in this is not hoodoo- but many spiritual forums would call you an "empath" -someone who naturally not only senses, but feels and can take within themselves the emotions of others. With empaths, healing often comes with it.

Unread post by **Devi Spring** » Tue Aug 23, 2011 4:44 pm

I agree, I would classify your gifts as empathic ones. And it is true that empaths often make extremely talented healers. You will just have to take EXTRA care with protections and cleansings, even moreso than the average spiritual practitioner, because you're hard-wired to take on and in other people's energies.

So, I would find an intuitive healer near you that shares your gifts and can help guide you. I would especially recommend the books of Barbara Ann Brennan and Sophie Reicher for you.

Working with King Solomon Wisdom, Psychic Vision, and Master Key will certainly aid you in developing your gifts. I would recommend you throw in a healthy dose of Protection as well, and keep up a strict regime of cleansing to help maintain your energetic integrity. I also can't speak highly enough of wearing some form of protective amulet 24/7 as you are learning to hone and control your gift, as well as master the benefits and risks of it. Miss Cat makes some that could aid you.

Best of luck! The world needs more healers! Take care of yourself, and learn to facilitate the healing of others!

Then you should be able to prescribe LM products and use them to adress peoples problems in an excellent way. Looking at illness, problems and blockages are just one side of such a gift. Try using it to change a weak love into a strong one, a weak self belief in ability to make a good income into a very strong one, a strong and abusive ego into a weak one. Try make a nice sense of belonging (with the nasty gang who hangs out in the corner) into a very unpleasant and repulsive feeling. See if you can put the change into a LM bath, oil or incense and let a friend take the bath. There are many useful areas for such a gift.

miss sonja · Unread post by **miss sonja** » Wed Aug 24, 2011 3:09 pm

Thanks for all the responses! I will definitely put it to use with products as soon as I figure out how too. I imagine it will feel similar to what I'm already doing. Is that what it feels like when you give readings (what I described in original post)?

Unread post by **duchess** » Thu Aug 25, 2011 5:48 am

May I just second or third all of this wonderful advice?

I have empathic tendencies as well and tend to attract people in need of healing and I am still learning too. It can be a bit much sometimes so I've learned the extreme importance of regular cleansing and protection 24-7.

A quick fix I have found helpful when I encounter something or someone outside the house and cannot do a true cleanse right away is to carry a bottle of LM Van Van oil with me. If I feel the need, I rub it on my hands and in my hair and that brightens me right up.

I always carry the protection/uncrossing mojo on me I got from LM. That little guy has been the best for me since I started using it.

Regarding Devi's fantastic advice of keeping up a strict regime of cleansing, I take a 13-herb bath once a week and keep a Van Van spray I made myself for the rest of the days to rub myself down with before I go to bed. I also cleanse my home and car regularly.

I would also recommend looking into LM's Healing and Blessing lines as it sounds like they will resonate with you. And don't forget the possibility of working with ancestors, saints, and spirit guides to teach, guide, and protect you.

Hope this helps!

They are definitely very different from dreams in that they are real or realistic scenes nothing fantasy-like. In the forms of memories or predictions of the future.

I would like to remember them better and in more detail when I wake is there anything I can do to strengthen them or make them more powerful? Right now I am remembering little bits throughout the day and/or as the prediction is happenening in real life I get a flash flood recall of the vision.

Psycic Vision as mentioned above are good, but they need to be properly and specifically prayed over to remember and vivify your dream images. Consider cleansing on a regular basis to clear the senses before going to bed and apply Psychic Vision after. Clarity Products and Master Key Products may also help. Using and improving memory during the day will improve the recollection of dreams a lot. If you use Psychic Vision baths your should use hot water and soak in it rather than using a traditional drawing procedure. It will help you relax, an essential ingredient in rememberance.

I've used Star Anise in a variety of ways--mojo hands, baths, and part of candle work. In one work aimed at increasing psychic ability I used a skull candle, dressed, loaded, and baptized in the clients name. I then stuck a Star Anise on the skull candle's "third eye." It worked very well for the client.

But Star Anise can be used like other herbs.

hi all, sorry if posted in wrong area

in my introduction to the forum i shared that i have been on & off with hoodoo since roughly 13 and now im in my 30's. For some reason im just drawn to it.
I am most comfortable with candless, and honey jars & now am using more herbs and making mojo's or talisman.

it seems that some times i get great results & others not so much! for example a simple tabacoo call me spell has yet to giv me positive results, but when i made a talisman it seemed as if it worked immediatly & not so much after that. (was it just a coincidnce the first time ???)

right now im feeling a little defeated b/c i cant determine if results i have gotten were coincidence or do to my actual work & prayers because it doesnt seem consistent.

so my question is how do i know if i am gifted for the work or not?. do i continue to try or throw in the towel. i really want to sign up for Ms. Cats course but i would like to go into it kowing that i am capable

Unread post by **Devi Spring** » Tue Dec 27, 2011 2:42 pm

There are many factors that could be contributing to your inconsistent results. Some people are very gifted at one kind of work, but next to useless in other areas. Othertimes your own state of mind and capability to actually focus will contribute to a failure. Othertimes it may be that the situation or person you are looking to influence is very protected, or the situation more complicated than you know.

One thing that should help you right away, if you are not doing it already, is doing a divination before you begin working. See if your intended course of action is likely to have the desired effect, or if something else will be needed.

But you can absolutely have an AIRR reader do a divination to determine your level of giftedness if you wish: http://www.readersandrootworkers.org

Whatever manner of divination you are most comfortable with can be used to help you determine if a particular working is appropriate. If you don't know tarot, or any other form of oracle, then I suggest learning the pendulum. Even just training it to the bare basics of providing reliable yes/no answers can really help you fine tune an approach to working a situation.

Conjure is a spirit-led tradition. You must be able to let yourself be drawn into Spirit where you can call into existence your prayers while guided to light your candles, make your mojos, etc.

What I find with most students is at first they get great results that boost their confidence--often a result of intense emotional activity. Then they start to doubt, second-guess if it all was coincidence and as a result their results also start to become as inconsistent as their confidence.

Prayer is done with humility, yearning, confidence, and gratefulness. When you can cultivate the mysteries of these virtues you'll have the keys to conjure.

very true & well put. I will be adding divination as previously suggested, and i am working on my confidence specifically. I need to not doubt myself. i am not giving up. i also think i need to be more specific with my work rather then trying to fit it all into one spell or jar.

Luckbewithme876, did you ever see the movie Eve's Bayou? Mozelle's gift is a perfect example of the use of psychic powers in conjure. I agree with Aura, Lucky Mojo's Psychic Vision products are incredible! One of the very first things I ever bought from the Lucky Mojo was a Psychic Vision Spell Kit to help strengthen my natural abilities... the results were amazing & immediate.

Conjure has all sorts of psychic talk; you'll hear lots about having the "sight," "visions," gazing into a crystal ball, reading people's spirit, dreaming true, prophesying which can all be categorized as psychic abilities.

As to psi or psychic abilities revolving around psychokinesis while there is no direct mention, you'll find that really talented root doctors are gifted in rather palpable ways. For example in Jim Haskins books he mentions a slave owner talking about one of his females slaves who was a roots woman and she had powers of mesmerizing and could pick up and handle deadly snakes (Gift of Spirit too). There is also reference to Dr. Buzzard's ability to cause physical pain to people with his look.

In my travels I've met root doctors with various psychokinetic abilities, though these were viewed as merely a result of their gift, not something they studied or tried to cultivate. For example, a Georgia man could snuff out candles just by focusing on them. He said he used the ability to snuff out candles that were being burned against him. In Chicago, another man could make pens and other small objects move. He called it a Gift from Spirit, not psychokinesis. He also had a strong gift for prophecy.

In addition to my divinatory abilities, I have some psychokinetic abilities but this was cultivated via work with other spirits.

So as you see psychic ability certainly exists in conjure and is deeply related to spirit.

To help develop your sense work with Psychic Vision to help develop other spiritual and occult powers work with Master Key products.

All fascinating stuff guys.

Thanks for the help.

@ ConjureMan Ali so Gift of Spirit/telekinesis is something that you really can learn from scratch like any other magical skill and not an innate talent? I've actually heard it both ways from different people.

Also, I'm planning to eventually take the course on magic. If I were to create a Mojo Bag for this sort of thing, what should go in it? I know Master Root should go into it, and it should be dressed with Master Key Oil. is there a mineral or animal product that would be good for it? And which charm would work the best?

Master root and Master Key oil are not necessarily obligatory parts of a mojo bag - it all depends on what you're making the mojo for. Those ingredients could easily be completely inappropriate.

Let me be more specific; I'm making it for psychokinesis and other types of psychic powers (ones that wouldn't be covered under "Psychic Visions Mojo Bag"). ConjureMan Ali Master Key products would work well, and the description for Master Root makes it sound like it would be good for psychic powers.

Hello,

I am writing to ask for help/advice about how to best handle my "gifts".

Ever since I can remember I have seen spirits, sometimes from people who are lost/confused/TERRIFIED/and sometimes down right frightening. Often however I "feel" their fear and that is what does the terrifying. In more than one instance I have felt like I was them when they were dying... one example,feeling I can't breathe and see them dying over and over again at the same time.

I have seen everything from demons to fairies. I am HIndu and have had some phenomenal visions of Ganesha. Obviously there are many beautiful aspects that I want to keep. The thing is I don't feel as though I have much control over this. I am often knocked down by terrible migraines, and though it's happened in the past I have had more experiences lately of almost feeling displaced from my body. It is hard to describe but I feel as though I am half outside of my body like something/someone else is in the right side and what used to be my right half is shoved to the left half while my left half is outside of my body. Make sense? Then I get bombarded by images,emotions,sometimes voices that often talk to fast for me to understand or it all blends together... or?? The clairaudience is newer so maybe underdeveloped...

Anyhow, usually I am left with a feeling that I know what happened to this person, how they've passed or what they're angry/sad about. Often things I am shown are rather horrible things that overwhelm me. I'm not sure how to help, or if it's what I should be doing.

There is so much that I could write and write until my fingers fall off, perhaps you understand what I mean. For many years my "visions" etc were fairly rare but now are becoming more and more frequent.

Like I mentioned earlier in my post I am Hindu, I am also a bit witchy

the thing is the karmic implication of my actions around magiks are incredibly important to me. That in mind I am looking for advice and perhaps training ( I live locally). I want to be able to protect myself which seems fair enough to me.

Thanks for your time.
AUM

Hello, Wyndraga,

I'm not sure what we can do at this forum other than listen to you and acknowledge your experiences. The Lucky Mojo Forum is for the customers of the Lucky Mojo Curio Company who wish additional informtion on how to practice conjure or hoodoo folk-magic using our hand-made spiritual supplies.

The area in which you posted is titled "Ask Us for Conjure Help with Ghosts, Spirits, Hauntings, or Nightmares." By "Conjure Help," we mean using conjure supplies in a traditional African American / Southern US folkloric practice called "conjure," but you seem to be asking for spiritual diagnosis or guidance of a personal nature. The only "training" we offer at the shop are the yearly Hoodoo WOrkshops iunder the direction of Missionary Independent SPiritual Church (financially sponsired in part by Lucky Mojo) and my year-long Hoodoo Rootwork Correspondence Course.

Hello again,
I suppose you are right that I am looking for more guidance than you may offer but I am also interested in ways to protect myself with the oils, incenses, herbs etc... that you provide. I don't need to conjure anyone though, that's for sure. Sorry for not reading the headline more carefully. I am also curious if anyone in the community might have any insight or ideas.
Thank you.

My advice would be to browse through the AIRR profiles and see who else can see spirits, and then see about booking some time with them for some magical coaching if they are willing. That way you can get personalized advice.

While not completly inept, I have a definite lack of experience with divination techniques. I am a barely adequat Tarot reader, and have begun researching reading playing cards, use of the pendulum, and the throwing of bones. I feel like I'm staring down a wide bore. Even cursory research is enough to show how broad a topic divination is.

As an aspiring student of hoodoo, what would be the core methods to focus on?

And (if the question isn't gauche) what sources of information would be the most reliable?

I would appreciate any help.

That "large bore" might turn out to be a cavern with many trails, only a few of which are brilliantly lit. I mean to say that the methods of divination you should focus on are the ones that work the best for you -- the ones that tell you the most truth.

As an aspiring student of hoodoo, what would be the core methods to focus on?

The spectrum runs from math-heavy ones like astrology to highly intuitive and intangible ones like clairvoyance/clairaudience. Between the two lie crystal-gazing and other forms of scrying with material objects, tea-leaf reading and cereomancy, bone-reading, bibliomancy and card-reading. I list these in rough order of decreasing intuitive-ness.

I rely on the last three methods named. My clients tell me I'm pretty accurate -- including one or two who were dead sure I was wrong during the reading!

But I can't get a pendulum to tell me the truth to save my life; I don't have the chops for astrology or geomancy; and I've long thought that I was about as clairvoyant as a brick. (One of my colleagues has taken me in hand, though, so I'm starting to wonder about that.)

And then there's dream interpretation -- Lucky Mojo has a delightful selection of old-time dream books. If you select the one that appeals to you, you might soon find your dreams tailoring their "vocabulary" to fit.

One more thing: Nearly two decades ago, when I first picked up a Tarot deck, I pulled a card every day to begin memorizing their meanings. I was absolutely shocked and astonished when I pulled the Empress -- one of whose meanings is abundance, according to E. A. Waite -- on the day when a coworker spontaneously brought a cheesecake in to work. So just goes to show you -- it can take time for a particular method to tune in on you.

Hope this helps,

Miss Michaele
