what is a divination?
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.
can i request anything that i want?
Contrary to what you may have been conditioned to believe in Hollywood, the Vodoun Religion is an ancestral and healing tradition laced with the same moral and social integrity as any mainstream religions. We are not sorcerers. A good rule of thumb to remember is: if you will not contact your Christian priest, Jewish Rabbi, Muslim Cleric, Swami etc., to request the following services, we ask that you NOT request them from us:
1. Breaking up marriages to pursue the spouse of another.
2. Killing of anyone because you do not like them.
3. "Cursing” your enemies or anyone for any reason.
4. Causing disharmony, bad fortune or sickness upon anyone for any reason.
5. Forcing someone to love you (unrequited love) for any reason.
6. Forcing someone who obviously does not love you to return.
7. Getting you out of jail for a crime that you know you committed and were found guilty.
8. It is also important to review our Protocol and Respect (link also at end of) page to aid in your preparation process.
What is the Procedure?
In-Person Divination
The most preferred way for you to have a divination performed is in person. We prefer and strongly encourage this, for it is the best way to truly assess you as a total person, and ask pertinent questions. However, if you are unable or it is not cost effective, (i.e., residing in another state) we can perform this service via completing the consultation form along with submitting your photo. You will receive the results via phone call with our Shrine Mother, who will provide you the results, as next steps.
IF YOU ARE REQUESTING A DIVINATION FOR YOU AND A FAMILY MEMBER, THERE IS A SEPARATE COST PER PERSON.
General Divination or Divination for Initiation
ALL THOSE SEEKING INITIATION INTO THE MAMI WATA AND VODOUN TRADITION MUST HAVE THEIR DIVINATION PERFORMED IN-PERSON. The fee for this service is [a non refundable] $100 (per 35 min. or when the session ends), and must be paid in advance. To get started, you must first complete the form here to schedule, or to join our email list to be notified if we will be in your area, so that you may contact us to schedule an appointment. Our flagship location is in Augusta, Georgia.
Those seeking a General Divination concerning issues in your life, the price and the procedure is the same as the above.
The above cultural history is presented only to offer you a historical glimpse into the spiritual and cultural framework of African spiritual protocol in the Mami Wata Vodoun tradition as it is practiced in West Africa. When defined by Western standards, it would appear to some as "arrogant, out-dated, ego-centered and even oppressive". However, within its spiritual/cultural framework it is not.
Though the above protocol and cultural behaviors are not required of you in the West, it is important in understanding what and how to present yourself as a serious client, and how not to interpret any actions or behavior that you do not understand within a Western social context. This will ensure a seamless experience for you as you learn more about African Tradition & Culture.
