Frequently Asked Questions
New York Psychic, Urban Shaman, & Hoodoo Rootworker
Q: What’s a Rootworker?
Rootworker. Cunning man. Two-Headed Doctor. These fairly interchangeable terms all refer to someone with a cultivated knowledge of herbs, roots, zoological curios, and other elements AND their effective employment towards attaining practical and spiritual goals. Rootworking most often refers to the specific folk practice of Hoodoo.
Though it draws on aspects of American Indian, Northern European, and Jewish Kabbalistic systems, the roots of Hoodoo Rootwork and Conjure are steeped in Southern African-American folk conjure.
Rootworkers are spiritual doctors able to reach into life’s crevices to help transform conditions and circumstances that practitioners of other professions might not be able to. They are gifted and trained to work with tools from the natural world and powerful spiritual allies to help bring about real change in all of life’s arenas.

Bindings & ReversalsQ: Do you guarantee results?
Although conjure and provides practical and time-tested solutions, there are ultimately no 100% guarantees. Only God and acts of nature can do that. No practitioner who claims “guaranteed results” should be trusted. What I can guarantee is compassion, an honest assessment of your situation, practical advice, and the assurance that I do my best to catalyze a positive change in the lives of all my clients.
Q: What are your ethics?
Conjure is about change, transformation, and influence. Just as putting on a particular shirt or cologne reflects your intention to influence and affect, work of this nature is similar, but more direct (and harder to detect). Other than that, I will not aid in causing harm to another without serious due cause and Divine justification.
Q: Can you put a curse on my (insert name) for me?
Serious (i.e. “Divine”) justification is needed for such measures. It’s somewhat rare for such actions to be necessary and, when they are, they fit only as part of a larger work of healing in which binding a perpetrator or reversing their violence is not enough to mend the situation.

Q: What’s a House / Workplace Spiritual Cleansing & Blessing?
Stress, illness, arguments, and other maladies can hang around a space like energetic cobwebs, forcing us to endure their weight until removed. Every culture on Earth has crafted remedies specifically for cleansing and blessing environments that people live or work in to clear out the old and invite vibrations that foster good health, prosperity, joy, and peace. The effects are immediate and tangible; a refreshing “clean slate” feeling that affects everyone who comes in contact with the environment.
Available for offices and storefronts as well, a Spiritual Cleansing & Blessing can provide enhanced visibility, attract clients and customers, boost workplace morale and efficiency, and increase sales by encouraging repeat patronage.
A typical Spiritual Cleansing & Blessing includes a smudging of the space with the embers of herbs, such as sage, juniper, cedarwood, lavender, and/or mugwort, depending upon the needs of your space. Oils and herbal infusions may be used in a ritual washing of floors, windowsills, and mantles. Doors and windows may be prayerfully anointed to protect the space and invite that which is desired.
