If you engage a conjure doctor as a magical coach, you will receive one-on-one training in each spell you wish to learn. You can undertake this by telephone or in person, as is most convenient. You will be expected to have a paper and pen or a laptop computer or notepad at the ready, to take down any lists of ingredients to purchase, prayers or phrases to recite, or directions in which to move. Your magical coach will work with you until you understand the spell and have it just right in your mind, and will answer any questions you may have about its symboliism, efficacy, or cultural background.

Magical Coaching is Economical
If you are gifted for the work of hoodoo, but inexperienced in certain forms of spell-craft and altar work, you can save a great deal of money if, instead of hiring a root doctor to cast the spells for you, you employ the root doctor as a spiritual coach and advisor.
Magical coaching is particularly useful if you are about to embark on a personal ritual such as spiritual bathing, going to the crossroads, or working with the dead or with your ancestors: your spiritual advisor and coach can relate his or her first-hand experiences to you, tell you what tools and spiritual supplies you will need, and essentially walk you through the rite in advance.

Magical Coaching to Learn New Tricks
If you come from a family background of rootwork and spiritual practice or have studied for a while and generally know how to help yourself in matters of spiritual cleansing, love spells, money drawing spells, or protection work, but need you practical tips or pointers toward making your hoodoo work stronger and more immediately effective, a root doctor who offers coaching and counselling in magic can help. Acting as a personal trainer in magic, the rootworker can teach you how to construct a working candle altar, share new spells, remind you of the proper Psalms and prayers most often prescribed in your situation, and generally walk you through the work the same way that a family member or old friend would do.
One common reason that clients seek out a magical coach is that there are very few reputable root doctors who will take on spells of cursing or enemy work, no matter what the price. Not only is the financial cost of such work a consideration to the client, but even among those sorcerers who know these kinds of tricks and do perform aggressive spells on behalf of clients, most will not take on a job that they do not consider to be justified. If you have had difficulty locating a conjure doctor who will perform cursing, revenge, hot foot, goofering, or killing spells for you, you may find it practical to hire the services of an experienced magical coach who will not perform death spells on your behalf, but will teach you how to do the work for yourself.
Magical Coaching While You Study
If you have never practiced hoodoo, but want to give it a try, the spiritual coach whom you employ will discuss your work and its effectiveness with you, guide you toward the resources you need to improve your mastery of the art of spell casting, recommend courses you can take and books you can read to gain further command of hoodoo techniques, and offer constructive support for you as you make progress toward the goal of becoming a full-fledged rootworker yourself.
