Like many people, I came to spiritual work in search of power, and then realized that I was not the only person I wanted to empower. From childhood, my dream and prayer for the world has been peace, splendor, love and prosperity for all the earth's inhabitants.

I am the daughter, sister, and mother of spiritually gifted women. My mother saw the dead; my sister has prophetic dreams and is a medium; my daughter works with spirits. However, I am the only person in my family who is trained in the old-style traditional Southern rootwork.

I came to spiritual work in mid-life. My sister tested me for signs of spiritual power -- seeing auras, receiving impressions from someone holding a single picture in his mind, guessing Zener cards -- and found that I had a gift for prophetic dreams.

The tarot card deck has become a good friend to me since I first picked one up over a decade ago. I hew pretty closely to Arthur Edward Waite's system of tarot card interpretation; it is nuanced and makes it possible to offer consolation as well as to speak hard truths where they are needed.

I practice bibliomancy with the Bible, and I like it very much. Usually it adds a strong, clear, more detailed testimony to the story told by the cards. I can also make you a Triple Strength Bible hand, a mojo hand which contains an entire pocket New Testament.

I have known new clients to be heralded in my dreams, though as the images are heavily symbolic, I don't always recognize them until the client calls and tells me her story. More than once, I have been influenced by my dreams to take a rootwork case, and have been successful.

When you call me for a reading, I, the cards, and the Bible will be able to tell you a clear, coherent story. I often lay out cards before you say a word, only to have you confirm the meaning of the cards with your own experience.

I read signs in candle wax, which is why I prefer to use free-standing candles in my altar work and prayers. I can also discern the progress of a job by reading the activity of a candle flame and the amount of soot it leaves on glass jar candles or vigil lights. Naturally, I share this information with my clients.

My strongest areas of work are love, prosperity, blessing, and cleansing. I often cast "tandem spells", where you and I work the same magical spell together at the same time; you will be supplied all necessary materials and instruction to complete your end of the work while I do mine.

I do not do jinxing or crossing work at this time, though I do see the need in some cases and would not hesitate to refer you to someone who can do it.
