karmazain@bellsouth.net BioI'm a reader and rootworker raised in, trained in, and based in the Southeastern United States. I grew up in Mobile, Alabama and spent a lot of time in Pensacola, Florida, where my maternal great-grandmother lived, as well as New Orleans, Lafayette, and Baton Rouge & surrounding areas of Louisiana, where I have a ton of family on my mother's side. I have been studying herblore on the Gulf Coast for over twenty years, studied art and design formally as an undergraduate, studied folklore, African diasporic religions, and philosophy formally as a graduate student, and am currently pursuing a PhD. However, that's not what's important. What's important is that in between all of that, I have always studied and researched -- not just in libraries, but anywhere I could get a rootworker, palm reader, spiritualist, candle-shop owner, or tea leaf reader to talk to me.
I am irreverent, eclectic, and easily annoyed by mass-produced bullshit, particularly if it's of the Herman Slater or fluffy bunny variety (watermelon fragrance oil, glitter, and jasmine for an attraction formula, for instance. That is just silly. It might work for some folks, but it's not hoodoo, and while there may be more than one way to skin a cat, I'm not going to mix you up something and call it hoodoo when it isn't. Watermelon fragrance oil is not hoodoo, and if you want to argue about this, go find somebody else to argue with - I won't argue it here.
I study, though do not claim to be expert in, some strains of Latin American folk magic as well, and have a long-standing personal working relationship with Santisima Muerte. I have been studying various divination arts and herblore for over twenty years, and come from a particularly Catholic-steeped folk magic background, so my hoodoo has lots of saints in it. I am much more than passingly familiar with Western Hermeticism and ceremonial magick.
Devotionally, I work in a Franco-Haitian Gnostic Voudon lineage with full consecration, and work with an active group of fellow bishops, energy workers, magickians, rootworkers, and serviteurs of the loa on a regular basis, here in the Southeastern U.S.
Readers You Can Trust
Looking for a reader or spirit worker in your area? I personally vouch for and recommend the following readers and workers (I do not allow anyone to purchase space on this page to advertise themselves):
Dominick de Logunede
http://logunede.tripod.com/index.html
Dominick de Logunede is an initiate in the Afro Brazilian religion of Candomble. Having been a Tarot Reader for over 12 years, he has assisted many people who have come to him for readings. He also offers classes in Tarot, Divination, and contacting Spiritual guides and guardians. He can also assist with rituals and spiritual works that provide assistance in areas of health, love, prosperity, and spiritual well being. He can reached via email at filhodelogunede at gmail dot com
Annie O'Laughlin
Annie O'Laughlin first picked up a tarot deck in 1987, because the pictures were interesting. She decided to try it out, and did two readings that were sufficiently accurate to scare her into putting the deck away for two years. Fortunately, she got braver with time. She began reading regularly in 1990, and has advised many people since then. She is able to read on any general matter, but has specialty in readings on interpersonal issues, especially love and romance, family troubles/issues, and workplace conflict or politics. Annie can be reached at annieolaughlin at gmail dot com or at her livejournal, http://annieolaughlin.livejournal.com/.
Lorelei Michelle
Michelle has twenty years of experience in the divination arts, is an ordained minister, and has worked in the famous Jackson Square of New Orleans as a reader and diviner. I have personally worked extensively with her over the past fifteen years and can attest to her expertise with divination, spellcraft, and the magickal arts. She can be reached at gladstar93 at yahoo dot com, or at LivePerson http://www.liveperson.com/expert/spirituality-religion/tarot-reading/lorelei-michelle/

Karma Zain Spiritual Services is my personal website, for readings, spiritual assistance, and hoodoo products and supplies. I have worked at numerous sites online and given thousands of readings over the years. You can see my feedback at one such third-party site athttp://www.liveperson.com/karma-zain
You are welcome to go through this or another third-party site for a reading, if you would prefer that to going through paypal or my ebay store, but you will pay more, since these third party sites take a hefty cut. I generally do email readings only; I make occasional exceptions for in-person work. I hate phone readings and by-the-minute readings and won't do them. I am available in the Georgia and Alabama areas for in-person spiritual work, such as blessings and cleansings. Email me directly at info at karmazain dot com for more information about in-person work. I don't have an "office" that you can walk into, and if you aren't willing to talk with me about your case and have us get to know each other a bit, I probably won't pack up my car to go to your house and do a spiritual bath, because I'm not insane. The best way to start is often with a reading and/or short term candle-burning working. I don't take every client and I don't take every kind of case, but if I can't help you, I may be able to recommend somebody who can.
Please Note: I am currently backed up 2-3 MONTHS on readings. I am not currently taking new clients for full-length readings. Check my ebay store for mini-readings, candle readings, and other options. If I have read for you before, then I will probably read for you again, but if you're a new client, I'll recommend someone else to you based on your area of inquiry.
