Divination is not to be confused with what is popularly known in the West as a "psychic reading." It is much more. In The Mami Wata Vodoun Tradition, consultations are conducted directly with the deity/spirits, and ancestors in assessing your problem and needs. A divination is in essence a spiritual diagnosis, and the information obtained is utilized to establish the options available to you. The information provided is directly related to you and the particular issues that you and the spirits have brought forth. However, before you contact us, please make certain we can be of service to you. Please make sure you read all of the information below.

The Mami Wata Healers Society Temple of Mawu does not discriminate against anyone, regardless of race, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, genetic history, age, pregnancy, veteran status, socioeconomic status or any other protected category of the laws of the land. That being said, we assist all based upon their lineages' needs. Should you have an ADA accomodation request, we thank you in advance for your patience as we continue our preparations and we will do our best to accomodate those needs for you. Email mamathefire50@yahoo.com with the subject "Accessibility Request" and briefly detail your request. We will review the request and correspond accordingly.

As stated in the above question, we do not discriminate against anyone. We openly welcome members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and your privacy is ensured within our services for you. We affirm that you have the right to choose whether or not to disclose this information publicly, but we kindly ask that you identify your orientation and/or gender identity when privately submitting for a consultation. This allows our Chief Hounon Amengansie to assist you in all areas and provide the highest quality of service. For example, on the consultation, it asks you for your birth name. We ask that you provide your birth name as it was initially placed on your birth certificate and provide us with your preferred name as well. We will respect both for you.

The Late Chief Hounon Amengansie, Mama Zogbé, transitioned to the ancestral realm. You may learn more about her by visiting the links found on her Legacy Page. We have tenderly attended to her transition in the African Traditional way and honored the time frame required to provide this information to the General Public. Out of respect to her, the traditions she dutifully preserved, and her lineage, we yield all further questions about her transition to the privacy she and her family rightfully deserves. Now the time has come for us to continue the traditions she so carefully upheld in her honor.

Mama Zogbé's successor is none other than Chief Hounon Amengansie Mama Zodédé. The Mami Wata Healers Society Temple of Mawu completely stands behind and supports Mama Zodédé in all of her endeavors to successfully support and uplift the African Diaspora throughout the world. You may learn more about our King Mother, by visiting our bookstore, which she carefully constructed with Mama Zogbé, or by visiting her webpage.

I would like to interview Chief Hounon Amengansie Mama Zodédé. What is the process for this? 

Interviews are granted by request and thorough review. To begin this process, start by emailing mamathefire50@yahoo.com. Please note, we are a very busy shrine and correspondence may be delayed due to availability.

Membership is global, however our flagship location generally services the Americas and the Western Hemisphere. We do not use "Zoom" or other similar types of communications (FaceTime, Skype, etc.) to disclose our traditions, as many of those softwares are not completely private. We have many opportunities for you to join us in person, should finances and availability support those endeavors for you. We know that they will.
Our consultations are available in person, but should the need arise, you may receive your results over the phone. Typically, many receive their results over the phone.
Services are to be completed in-person. If there are any products or materials that can be shipped to you, it is on a case-by-case basis and will be disclosed to you directly by our Chief.  

Divination is the most thorough means to determine if the Amengansie tradition is found in your lineage. Please note, we follow a specific protocol which allows us to honor all tenets of African Tradition and Culture effectively, not on biased assumptions or inhibiting trends found on social media or otherwise. 

Consultation is the correct means to determine which Vodou walk with you. We will not provide any ceremony to you that is not authorized by the Ancestors or Spirits, no matter how much you may want it if it is not a part of your Ancestral Lineage. It is against our protocol to do so. 
In fact, many find that their specific lineages' needs and rewards are greater than anything that they could have guessed. 

This page is a great place to start. For more information, feel free to peruse through our media pages. There, you will see our tradition in action. Along with reading our books, learning how to participate is a wonderful way to be educated on African Tradition and Culture. If you have any questions, or would like to participate in an event, ask your loved one what public events are available for you to attend.
Should you feel called to do so, look at our forms page. There, you can submit a prayer or consultation request.

Identical Twins are a great example of how to answer this question! This scenario presents two people with unique similarities that have different courses of life. While it may be difficult to understand, there are no two people from the same lineage with the same destinies.
Do not look at what someone else next to you has and wonder about your own journey. Your journey is your journey, specifically made just for you and your lineage. The more you focus on your own roads, the better.  

Due to the nature of the work that we do, every person's needs are specific to them and their lineages. In the meantime, we encourage you to look at our Folklore page to learn more.

Everything starts with a Consultation. Should this request be serious, we highly recommend that you follow protocol and contact our Chief directly to set up a time for meeting or a consultation. The information provided to you during services is the intellectual property of Chief Hounon Amengansie Mama Zodédé and the intellectual legacy of Mama Zogbé and the Mami Wata Healers Society Temple of Mawu. We follow the instructions of the Ancestors and Spirits, and recommend that you do the same before laying claim to any information. No member is authorized to speak on behalf of the Society without public acknowledgement, and all remarks are to be reagarded as private statements.
