How to Hire an Online Hoodoo Practitioner and Guarantee It Will Work


Casting off evil and sin and deceit for pure magick

Probably 95% of the work I do is some sort of love spell magic. It might be for new love or it might be breakup work to remove a rival. Most typically it is work designed to return a lost lover.

Yes, spells to return lost lovers are the single most common request I get. I do not encourage feedback about any of my spells for reasons described on my FAQ. But it happens sometimes that I am hired for love work, and late in the game (too late to go back and undo anything) the client reveals they had withheld information or provided deliberately misleading information about the situation. When this happens I often see any hope for success vanish, because by giving me wrong information they had caused me to use the wrong type of spell.

Honesty is Key to Successful Spellcasting

Here's the thing about love work: the magic doesn't care about how flattering your retelling of the situation is. Honesty is important.

Compare to if a man goes to the medical doctor because he has vomiting and flatulence, but he thinks that this sounds too embarrassing to admit, and so he claims that he's there because of a headache. Perhaps he imagines that pills are the same so it shouldn't matter, wrongly presuming that all pills are the same thing. The doctor will ask him some questions about the headache and maybe even schedule tests, but likely will find nothing wrong in the head, and therefore will send the man home with the problem unresolved. Had he told the truth, the doctor could have recognized (let us say) a food allergy as the problem and prescribed an appropriate course of action; but instead everybody's resources were wasted.

If your lover left you because you were abusive, and she took out a restraining order, do not tell your spellworker that she left "because her mother doesn't approve." If they left because they felt betrayed by you after you cheated, don't claim "he is too busy with his work to give time to a relationship." If you genuinely did nothing wrong and she simply ran off with someone else, don't say "She still loves me." (And definitely disclose that she's with another person! Magic spells to bring back lost lovers don't make a person stop loving someone else, and it's going to be essential to cast a breakup spell in such a situation. Not mentioning the rival makes a waste of any love work.)

It's hardly ever happened that I've refused to do work on moral grounds, and in those few, very rare instances it was because a situation made me too uncomfortable to be able to enthusiastically perform a spellcast rather than out of any desire to shame or punish the person inquiring for it. Most of the time, I really don't care on a judgmental level why it is you need the work done -- but I do care if you waste energy and put the spirits under needless stress by giving misleading information about what's going on. Not to mention I really do feel bad if I take money for spells that I know probably won't work -- this is why I want to be able to refuse cases that I know will not work. Lying or giving deceptive information makes it impossible for me to accurately judge what's happening or is likely to happen, and that doesn't help anyone including you. You cannot get a remedy for the problem if you're deliberately trying to mislead as to what the problem is.

Why It’s Important to Understand What You’re Buying

Recently had a situation of a type that is thankfully rare, but nevertheless unsettling because I try to make sure it never happens -- a customer who already purchased a spellcast changed their mind about it. In this case the reason was that they had apparently not read the FAQ  or the other information about buying a magic spell before making their purchase, and didn't ask basic questions about what was being promised until after the spell was bought by them and supplies ordered by me. Several days after buying the spell it occurred to them to ask what my guarantees were, and they immediately wanted a refund when I answered that there is no guarantee. I gave them a partial refund for the portion of the services not yet rendered, but with any service-based purchase it is your job to be clear on what you are buying before you buy it. The FAQ, as well as several other pages on this site, strive to make it absolutely clear that there are no guarantees that your magic spell will "work" in some specific way. I promise to cast your spell according to traditional methods -- what results if any will be produced by that casting are not in my control after that. 

There are reasons I that I make it hard to email me without reading a bunch of information first. I want you to know what you're getting, and I don't want to deal with disappointed customers who had expectations based on things I never promised. Read the FAQ, and if you still have questions after that, email me.

What Happens After You Order a Spell


When customers come to me requesting a spellcast, I usually have a few questions for them before deciding if I'll agree to the work. These questions of course will vary depending on what information the customer has given me already, and what kind of spell they want.

If the customer has forgotten to tell me what kind of spell they want or what purpose the spell is for, of course I will inquire about that.

If the spell is meant to be directed at someone else -- especially if it's to influence another's thoughts or actions -- I will ask questions about how well they know the person or how long it's been since they were last in contact. Sometimes I will ask if they have any personal items from the target, and I might refuse to cast the spell if they can't offer any.

Customer inquiries often fail to mention how many days of work they're looking for. In such cases I, of course, have to ask about that. I can spot a person who hasn't read the FAQ pages when I ask how many days they want and they don't know what I'm talking about or assume that I'm asking how fast they want the spell to work.

Once everything is settled and assuming I agree to perform the magic spell, I send the person a money request through Paypal. When I do this, I expect it to be paid within 3 days or else I cancel the money request and move on. Most people pay right away -- and once they're paid up, I can begin ordering the necessary spell supplies for their castings.

Magical Hoodoo Baths - The Original Hoodoo and Voodoo Bath for Luck, Love and Success

One beginning in the tradition of hoodoo should know about the importance of baths. They are vital tools in hoodoo work and cannot be dispensed with.  Many people nowadays don't have bathtubs, and some adaptation can be achieved by way of showers. Other people use a large bowl or bucket of water to pour on themselves in place of a spiritual bath. In olden times, and also in some places today where water on tap isn't common, people will perform their spiritual baths in a river or pond outdoors.  A spiritual bath is similar to a regular bath, but with certain key differences. Spiritual baths are not meant primarily for physical cleansing and so washing items like soap might be taboo depending on the exact bath type. However there are some types of magical bath that do use the multitasking property of soap or other cleansers, and in those cases the cleaning aspect is appropriate to the work. There is some controversy around washing the hair in a spiritual bath. Many people don...

The Ultimate Hoodoo Herbal Incense Guide

 Myrrh The other day I made a bath recipe for myself using some artificial myrrh oil (real myrrh essential oil being quite expensive -- about $160 a half ounce as of this writing.) Sniffing it, it called to mind so many other spells that I've done that I realized -- this is THE smell of hoodoo. American hoodoo magic, with its blend of African, Indigenous, and European traditions, has a long history of utilizing various herbs, roots, and materials to create potent spells and rituals. One such ingredient that holds a significant place is myrrh. It is not a native plant to the Americas: commiphora myrrha is native to the Arabian penninsula and Africa. It appears often in the Bible, and because of this was adopted into European high magical traditions. As I mention in my book Conjuration , incense wasn't much used in American hoodoo till the early 20th century, when the "catalogue culture" of De Laurence and others brought to it more high magical tradition and incorpor...

Occult Mysteries of Candle Omens: The Surprising Truth About Spellcasting Success and Misleading Signs

One of my most consistently popular posts on this blog is the Candle Omens post, indicating many many people want to know about how to read omens for their spells through the augeries of wax or flames. When I perform spellcasts for clients , if the work I have done involved a candle spell, I will usually report on the condition of the flames, smoke or interesting activity with the wax.  And yet, how valid is this for determining spell outcome? In my own experience, I have had candles that burned badly result in brilliant successes, and candles that burned well lead to dud results.  The first thing to keep in mind about reading omens in candles it that it really shouldn't be done if you are inexperienced in candle burning, OR if you are using an unfamiliar brand of candles . In both cases, it can lead to falsely assuming a normal event is something abnormal or significant. For example, there is a particular type of pullout candle which I have to go out of my way to ...

Perfume, Cologne, and Its Use In Hoodoo

The original recipe for cologne was reputedly given to St. Elizabeth of Hungary by an angel -- the concoction was known as "Hungary Water" and was used primarily as a medicine, rather than just a mere fragrance. Charles Godfrey Leland remarked that it therefore was appropriate hoodoo practitioners would use such a substance for feeding their conjure bags and other talismans. The term cologne actually comes from a later preparation, Cologne Water (named for the German city.) The original Cologne Water is a spirit-citrus perfume launched in 1709 by Giovanni Maria Farina (1685–1766), an Italian perfume maker from Santa Maria Maggiore Valle Vigezzo, Italy. In 1708, Farina wrote to his brother Jean Baptiste: "I have found a fragrance that reminds me of an Italian spring morning, of mountain daffodils and orange blossoms after the rain". He named his fragrance Cologne Water, in honour of his new hometown. The Original Cologne Water composed by Farina was used on...

Sugar and Sweetener - Vital Ingredients for Traditional Hoodoo and Witchcraft Magic

Sugar spells are everywhere these days. People know you can “sweeten someone up,” and if you poke around online for five minutes, you’ll find love spells that ask you to write a name on a paper and put it in a jar with sugar, honey, syrup, or a piece of candy. It’s not just popular — it’s practically its own genre. But the real history of sugar in hoodoo is a little deeper, and as always, a little weirder. Traditionally, sugar was used to sweeten someone toward you — whether for love, kindness, better treatment, or even to grease a boss’s attitude at work. You’ll find older spells that use sugar to make a judge lenient or to keep someone from being angry. What’s rarely mentioned outside the tradition is that the type of sugar used could be significant. Yes, really. In older hoodoo practice, sweeteners were sometimes matched to the race or skin tone of the person being targeted. Molasses - thick and dark, was typically used if the person was Black. White sugar - for a white person. Hon...
