The cost of ceremonies covers offerings to the applicable Orishas, space rental or host gifts, compensation of specialists, transportation, and supplies for the making of charms. We take photos and send them to you by email, so you can see what is being done with your money.
On this page, we describe some of the ceremonies and give a rough estimate of the costs. It may be a little more or less, depending on your needs. There may also be special instructions for you that you should be prepared to carry out in order to ensure success. You can get more details and a fuller list of the ceremonies and root works that we do at our site ObeahWoman.com
Any charms, talismans, or other items made for your ceremony that you should keep will be sent to you by EMS express mail.
Protection Ceremonies
If you are about to enter a dangerous situation, there are specific ceremonies for protection depending on what it is you’re about to do. Generally though, this is the department of Eshu. He usually requires 3 chickens for junior enlisted servicemen, students, interns, manual laborers, etc. and 6 for NCO’s, officers, and professionals. For both, we need a bottle of rum. We do an ebo either in a park or on my balcony, depending on privacy concerns. From the ashes, we make three talisman pendants. Aside of this, one may give as they can afford, but the minimum is $200.
Romantic Love/Attraction/Fertility Ceremonies
Romantic love ceremonies require offerings to Oshun. We make her two large honey cakes from scratch, and give fruits, delicacies, pumpkins or butternut squashes, and must go to a place with flowing fresh water where there is privacy so we don’t get fined or accused of the bad kind of witchcraft.
If you are female, we must then also give offerings to Yemaya, giving sea shells or fish back to the ocean. If you are male, then we must give offerings to Shango of corn porridge and peppers. We make a charm for you to wear, gri-gri according to your needs, and what ever other things that come up in the readings or trance the Spirits feel we should give you, with instructions.
If possible, you should also send us a shirt that you have worn after a shower but without deodorant, so that we can create a custom attraction or mood lifting oil for you. All together, our costs are around $300-$700 depending on the situation and what is needed to make the gri gri and charms.
Prosperity Ceremonies
These require an ebo, but we have different plans based on what one can afford. Consider that the Orishas know what you are capable of paying. We are also obligated to be mindful not to take more than a person can truly afford to give. For people who are having a tough time of it, you can contribute to our yearly ebo/festival for Oshun and Aje Shaluga. We have this in August, as time and scheduling permits.
For those who are in a stable position or running a business, and want to ensure success, you may sponsor a special ebo during the spring and summer months for $2000. This is a big ebo on the level of a wedding. The charm we make for the sponsor is a specially crafted gold and silver amulet.
As part of the prosperity ceremony, we can do certain peripheral work to remove obstacles and for protection, for no extra charge. Some examples are evil eye protection, sales attraction, and protection from the authorities. This is very useful for people who operate in legal gray areas or in states with unfair regulation of certain professions such as African/natural hairstylists and braiders.
If you’re already doing well, but just need the protection from authorities ceremony and bochio, this is $700. It requires a week long series of altar work during which the bochio is built.
Others are available, but these are the most common requests. We charge according to our costs because we believe in our work. Once it is successful, you may donate whatever additional amount you feel is appropriate. To make your request, go to our Root Work and Ceremonies page.
Hi,
I am currently looking a protection amulet for my work, love life, finances, and from enemies. I would also like to get married someday and be more stable.
I noticed that I can’t keep my job for a long period of time, even if I am doing an excllent job and I had my crowlie shells read by Orunmilla and it says that there is a lot of envy from enemies and I need to keep my distance with people. Usually I have friends who betray me and they have more than me. I am currently looking for work right now and need your help.Do you make an offer to Orunmilla? I am a professional. Are you a Babalawe?
What should I do? Can you help me with this ceremony. How do I know this is legitimate and not voodoo. I don’t believe in voodoo and witch craft work or harming others. If this is for that then please let me know.Do you have any satisfied blogs witten by customers who you have helped? Thank you, AM
What I do is not “witchcraft”. I am mixed African, Catawba, and Alba, and I was brought up in a Christian family, albeit a eurocentric flavored one. I understood from the way that Jesus treated the Romans and non Jews he helped and healed, that he never intended for anyone to leave their culture to embrace God. So in that light, I felt that in order to serve God best, I had to depoliticize my faith and reconnect with my ancestral faiths. In doing this, I became what is probably best described as an Obeah woman. My first awareness began when I was a child, and I began serving the community when I was a teenager.
This means I am an esoteric who draws from many traditions to work with the forces of Nature and Spirits to help people to accomplish their goals and receive goodness in their lives. One of the main ones though is, in fact, Vodun. It has a bad reputation from Hollywood, but in real life it is a legitimate and very old belief system. I do not do work that would cause a person undue harm. I do however, believe that the wicked deserve whatever punishment should come to them for their evil deeds. So I do not claim to be a “white witch”. I am not a pacifist. If a snake strikes at you, it is not trying to be friendly, so you should not try to be friendly to it unless you enjoy poison.
I do not refer to myself as a Babalawe, though some regard me as such. I would rather call myself an esoteric or priestess, though in practical terms, I live more like a nun. My lifestyle is stable, but voluntarily austere.
People don’t normally write about the work I do for them. I am not sure that I would want them to. Perhaps at some point, someone may contact you to discuss it privately, but I doubt you’d find blogs about it.
I do offerings for Orunmila regularly out of respect for wisdom and gratitude for the gifts the Orishas have given me. Everyone in this field does…or they should.
I am not sure that you need a ceremony. It seems that your problem is just the evil eye and choosing jobs that are far away from your true calling. Follow this link for getting rid of the evil eye, and as far as the job situation, stop trying to do things that don’t suit you. Stick to what you’re good at and talented in, and you will not be so easily disposed of.
