Karma Zain
From Association of Independent Readers and Rootworkers
I'm a born and raised Southerner who grew up learning a dizzying list of Catholic patron saints, 75 ways to cook a plucked chicken, and a bunch of folk cures for getting rid of everything from warts to unpopular suitors. I grew up in Alabama and spent a lot of time in Florida and Louisiana, where many of my people live. My maternal great-grandmother taught me how to set lights for ancestor work, my maternal grandmother how to bury a statue of St. Joseph in the yard, and my mother taught me how to identify and harvest the herbs and roots that grew in our five-acre yard in the backwoods of Alabama. (She also makes a mean doll-baby, and a mean roux.)
I have been studying Southern-style herblore and folk magic for decades, and have studied art, religion, literature, theology, and philosophy at the college and graduate levels, holding a BA and an MA. In addition to a lifetime spent learning about and working with roots, saints, and spirits, I've spent over twenty years doing divination work and over 30 doing energy work in both Eastern and Western traditions. I have extensive training and experience in many types of divination, though these days I pretty much stick to Tarot.
I specialize in Success, Protection, Ancestor, and hands-on Spiritual Cleansing work. Some of my favorite work is making custom hoodoo art objects and jewelry, such as Crown of Success necklaces with customized prayer box ingredients, or customized St. Michael protection packets for your home, for instance. Protection work is a particular specialty of mine, and I am not lady-hearted about taking action in cases that consultation and divination reveal to be justified.
I do mostly short-term altar work, though I do take longer term work after consultation. I regularly make mojos and set lights for clients, and these are considered shorter-term workings requiring only brief consultation.
I work regularly with ancestors and do a lot of graveyard work, and I am not afraid of some of the more visceral of curios, such as bones, blood, fur, and other bits. I 'get my hands dirty' sometimes, and I don't mind, and I don't flinch. If I take a case, I will do what is necessary to see it through. Because I work whole-hog for the clients I do take, I don't take all that many long-term clients. But if I take your case, you can be sure you have my attention.
I generally do not take very many Reconciliation cases, nor very many Breakup cases. I do not break up marriages except under extraordinary circumstances, but I do take cases to help folks get out of bad ones safely.
Devotionally, I work in a Franco-Haitian Gnostic Voudon lineage with full consecration as a Bishop. I work with an active group of fellow bishops, energy workers, rootworkers, and serviteurs of the loa on a regular basis, here in the Southeastern U.S. I currently reside in the greater Atlanta area.

Hours: I do not have set, regular "open hours" as I am rarely able to take calls during the day. I generally speak with clients via phone only by prior appointment, and often may return calls only on weekends.
Please note that I am located in the Eastern Time Zone in the Southeastern United States. I appreciate your taking any time differences into consideration when you contact me.
How to Pay for and Schedule an Appointment with Me
The best and fastest way to get in touch with me is via email. You may book my services and arrange payment by email. You can expect to have your initial inquiry email answered within 2-3 business days, often much sooner. When you book a consultation, I will acknowledge receipt of your booking fee with an email giving the estimated turnaround time for completion of your consultation, and asking for any further information that I need.
Book a reading or consultation with me
You may call, and if I am not available when you call, you will be forwarded to an answering machine. Please leave your name, phone number, and a brief message, and I will get back to you as soon as I can. If there are days or times at which you cannot receive a callback, please leave that info in your message and be sure to mention your time zone.
Rates
You can book an email consultation if you are seeking in-depth advice about what spiritual work is most appropriate for your situation; want detailed, customized suggestions about products or spell work specific to your concerns; and/or want a diagnosis on the likelihood of success for whatever conjure work you are currently performing or considering. Though consultations may involve divination, they differ from stand-alone readings; they are goal-oriented, focusing on providing you with specific advice and remedies from a hoodoo perspective.
Most mojo bags and single-candle light setting services may be ordered without a formal consultation - simply email me to discuss the details of your request. All other types of altar work or conjure cases requires a formal consultation.
Mojo bags start in the $25 range and vary depending on the level of customization and the rarity of ingredients. Customized, fully-decorated altar pakets, custom jewelry, saints' shrines, and altar art range from $50 to $600, depending on the ingredients and materials.
Light settings start around $10 for a short-burning taper or votive setting, and $15-$20 for seven day novena settings. Altar work rates vary considerably depending on the complexity of your case and the materials needed, generally starting in the $40-$50 range for bottle or container spells to several hundred dollars for more complex spells.

Testimonials
"Karma's readings are deeply insightful, blending wisdom, compassion, and straightforward honesty in a way few readers can match. She's highly in demand, deservedly so, and worth the wait. Her products are thoughtfully made and reflect a wealth of spiritual experience in several traditions. I don't know anyone else making products of this quality." ~ B.C.
"Karma's hoodoo condition oils are beyond fantastic. I get great results with her formulas, they are powerful enough that even a little goes a long way. I'm also thrilled with her different washes, many of which you can't find anywhere else. We keep a bottle of "ctrl-alt-smite" concentrate in the house at all times, and add it to everything from body washes to floor washes. It's definitely our favorite, we consider it an all-purpose negative condition killer!" ~ E.R.
"I think your reading of my situation was 100% accurate. You are incredibly intuitive. Your stop gossip kit worked great! The light settings have helped. You are a blessing my darling! Please keep all my info because when you get back I want to see where we're at." ~ P.S.
"Karma's readings are rich and detailed. She devotes considerable time and effort to each one, and she takes her work very seriously. She uses an eclectic range of divinatory tools to develop meaningful insights. She is very much a client-centered reader, and no one else puts half as much care and thought into a reading -- I keep telling her to raise her prices!" -J.H.
"I highly recommend Karma Zain for readings, candle work and talisman work. She has been so helpful and her readings were on target each and every time. I will return to her for more work in the future." ~ D.V.
