5 Signs You May Be Under a Spiritual Curse
Not all misfortune is coincidence. When bad luck follows you like a shadow, the ancestors may be trying to warn you. Here are the signs I look for.
“Authentic West African Vodun, Worked With Respect”
Voodoo — properly Vodun — is not the thing films have made of it. It is a living West African spiritual tradition, carried from Benin, Togo and Nigeria across the Atlantic, built on reverence for the ancestors and the spirits that stand between us and the divine. Worked honestly, it is among the most direct forms of spiritual intervention there is.
I perform voodoo rituals the way they were taught to me: with offerings, with the ancestors named, and with the respect the tradition demands. If you have been told voodoo is only for harm, you have been told wrong — most of my voodoo work restores love, shields families and breaks what others have placed.
You tell me the situation in full, and the names of those involved. Vodun work is specific; it is addressed to named people and named outcomes.
I cast and ask whether the work should be done at all. Sometimes the answer is no, and I will tell you so rather than take your money.
Nothing is asked of the spirits without something given. Offerings are prepared according to which spirit the matter belongs to.
The ritual is performed at the hour the spirits are nearest, with the object, the charm or the doll prepared and charged toward the outcome.
The work is closed properly and a shield placed, so nothing follows back to you or to your household.
No. Vodun is a West African religion built on ancestor reverence, and like any faith it can be practised well or badly. The association with harm comes from film and from colonial-era propaganda, not from the tradition itself. Most voodoo work I perform restores love, shields families or breaks what someone else has placed.
It is a focus object, not a torture device. The doll carries the name and the intention of the working so the ritual is addressed to one specific person rather than scattered. It is used as often to protect or to draw someone home as for anything else.
The intent is the same — clearing what stands between two people — but Vodun work is addressed through the spirits and carries an offering, which makes it more direct. I will advise which is right for your situation during the reading.
Yes, and it is a large part of my practice. The first step is divination to confirm something was actually placed, and by whom. Once that is known the working is unmade and returned, and a shield is set so it cannot simply be placed again.
Vodun has been caricatured for a century, and that caricature costs real practitioners their dignity. It is a faith with priests, initiations, offerings and ethics. I will not perform work intended to seriously harm an innocent person, and I will say so plainly if that is what is being asked. What I will do is defend you, restore what was taken, and return deliberate harm to the one who sent it.
