Oils Readings Altar Work Art Consultations About Me Contact Me

See my Bio page.

I offer in-person limpias, cleansings, banishings, and blessings in my geographical area. In some special cases, the synod of Gnostic bishops of which I am a member joins to perform distance work. Please write via the contact link for more information about these or other ecclesiastical services.

I love to correspond with clients and make recommendations on their cases, but due to the volume of emails I receive here, on my blog, and through my shop, I ask that you be patient while awaiting a response. If you have a time sensitive situation, your best bet is to purchase a reading or candle work consultation on your situation. If you have a smaller question, about candle colors or appropriate oil, feel free to contact me here, or at my livejournal blog.

If you need in-person work, I may be able to recommend trustworthy advisors and workers in your area. Please write for details.

About Karma Zain

I practice hoodoo (rootwork) in the style I learned growing up in the Southeast United States where I was raised and reside to this day. I am very familiar with many different traditions, through decades of study and training (and a college degree in World Religions and Philosophy), and my personal religious practices are within Haitian and New World African Diasporic tradition, heavily influenced by my work as a Gnostic Bishop in a Franco-Haitian lineage of apostolic succession.

I've spent a lifetime studying folk magic and working with the saints, twenty years doing divination work, and well over a decade as a member of a initiatory Western Hermetic Order. My life's Work so far has involved study in European and African Diasporic herblore, rootwork and hoodoo, and initiated study and practice into western hermeticism and ceremonial magick. In addition, I am a student of Taiji and Qigong as well as more external martial arts, and I am a serviteur of the loa. I began my training in yoga in childhood, having been raised by parents with membership in the Self-Realization Fellowship of Paramahansa Yogananda, and I began guided training in European witchcraft and herblore in 1984 after several abortive and immature attempts to practice it on my own through reading what limited material was available to me at the time (and almost killing myself drinking tansy tea after I'd misidentified some herbs in the woods). I have extensive training and experience in divination with the Tarot in particular.

I'm a legally ordained minister and a consecrated Bishop of the Universal Gnostic Church. I help people spiritually -- that's what I do. Let me help you tap into the sacred folk traditions that can help you get the mojo jump-started in your own life.
