We want to help you easily obtain the services you desire.
Just follow the simple steps outlined below, and you will greatly increase your chances of being satisfied by the members of AIRR.
Read Our Pages; Check Us Out
If you seek the services of a reader or root doctor with whom you can resonate personally, please look through the list of those available at AIRR. Read what they have to say about themselves, look at their pictures, consider whether you would like to know them, and also make sure that they offer the services you desire. If religious or cultural adherence is important to you, select a reader or worker who shares your spiritual beliefs; otherwise, feel free to explore the wide variety of cultural and magical practices offered by the members of AIRR.
Select Your Worker by the Type of Service Provided
If you seek the services of a reader or root doctor based on the kind of work you want done (for instance, a palm reading or a love spell), you can find the names of all AIRR members who offer specific services by going to the pages describing those services: The names of all AIRR workers who perform each type of service are listed on the relevant page for that type of service.
Select an Appropriate Reader or Worker for Your Case
If the AIRR member you selected does not offer the services you wish, please select another member of AIRR who does. For instance, if a reader is not listed for Astrology, don't ask him for a horoscope; instead, look on the Astrology page and select from among those who are listed there. Likewise, if a worker says, "I do not do death spells," don't ask her to do a death spell "just this once," because the answer is "No."
Check Out Our Posted Rates and Payment Methods
Many of the members of AIRR post rates on their pages. Using those published rate guidelines, you can determine in most cases if the rates posted by the reader / rootworker are acceptable to you. Not all members of AIRR post rates on their pages; if someone who interests you does not post rates, please feel free to inquire by telephone or email, as indicated. When it comes to payment, most of us accept electronic instant-transfer payments via Paypal; some also accept money orders, checks, and cash. Please use the one of the payment methods your reader or root doctor accepts and do not ask to be a "special exception."
Understand Pre-Scheduled versus Instant Psychic Readings
Psychic readings are generally offered to the public in two forms:
- Pre-scheduled psychic readings and divinations
- Instant psychic readings
- Drop-in or walk-in readings conducted in person
- On-call telephone psychic lines
ALL AIRR MEMBERS OFFER PRE-SCHEDULED PSYCHIC READINGS
Generally speaking, pre-scheduled readings are booked for a specific amount of time, such as a ten-minute, half-hour or one-hour block. Because pre-booking allows your psychic reader to more easily manage his or her time, pre-scheduled psychic readings are often offered at a block-time rate which works out to a lower cost per minute than the instant services do. To take advantage of these savings, and depending on the schedule of the AIRR psychic reader whose services you are engaging, your pre-sceheduled psychic reading may need to be booked from one day to four weeks in advance. Further details are provided at each individual AIRR member's booking page.
SOME AIRR MEMBERS OFFER DROP-IN READINGS IN PERSON
Some members of AIRR (but not all) offer instant readings for drop-in or walk-in clients at their private reading parlours, churches, shops, or homes. If drop-in or walk-in readings are available from your AIRR psychic reader, you will find further details about hours of availability and the reader's physical location at the individual AIRR member's booking page.
SOME AIRR MEMBERS OFFER INSTANT PSYCHIC READINGS BY PHONE
Some members of AIRR (but not all) are available for instant readings via telephone psychic lines. Because instant readings are not pre-scheduled, and your psychic reader must stay by the telephone awaiting a call, an instant reading generally costs more per minute than a pre-scheduled reading from the same reader. Further details about availability and prices for instant telephone readings are posted at each individual AIRR member's booking page. The AIRR web site is supported in part by contributions from Hoodoo Psychics, a telephone psychic line whose members are all members of AIRR.
Understand Stand-Alone and Bundled Services
Some members of AIRR provide readings as a stand-alone service and others bundle readings with rootwork services. Some members of AIRR require that you purchase a reading before you may purchase rootwork services, others will give you both at a set fee or package deal. Be sure you understand the terms offered by the AIRR member you have selected.
Take Advantage of Introductory and "Try Out" Readings
If you wish to "sample" the services of different readers at AIRR, this is perfectly acceptable. Some of us offer brief introductory readings, typically ten minutes long, but others do not. All of the members of AIRR are colleagues, and none of us will be angry if you try out a few of us out before settling on one person to be your "regular" reader or rootworker.
Send Inquiries Only To Those Who Invite Them
Do not send emails describing your situation, asking for help, or requesting personal services to AIRR members who specifically state on their pages that a paid reading is required prior to engagement of their rootwork services. Please follow our procedures and pay for a reading first if that is a requirement for further services.
Do Not Spam the AIRR Membership List
Please do not spam multiple AIRR members with requests for contact. Instead, select the one rootworker who most appeals to you and who also performs the type of work you desire, and then purchase either a preliminary reading or a reading-and-rootwork package.
Abide By Our Appointment and Cancellation Policies
AIRR readers require that you pay in advance for divination services. We will schedule your appointment if we cannot take you the same day that you pay for the reading service. Check to learn if your reader has a posted cancellation or rescheduling policy; many AIRR readers require 24-hour notice for rescheduling and cancellations. Be sure to contact your reader as specified on the date and time of your reading appointment, according to the method agreed upon, and be sure to take any time zone differences into account when calling.
You May Change Readers or Rootworkers; We Understand
The members of AIRR are not random telephone psychics employed part-time by an impersonal booking service. Rather, we are colleagues, and because of that, we will not be angry or upset if you select one of us as your "regular" reader or rootworker, but occasionally go to other AIRR members if we are unavailable, or because you want a "second opinion." We will even understand if drop us and take up another AIRR member as your "regular" reader or rootworker. You are free to select among us, however, we do recommend that you keep each AIRR practitioner you hire informed about work that has been, is being, or will be done by other practitioners and that you tell us if you are seeking a second opinion but wish to retain our services in the future, or are moving on to another worker.
It's Okay to "Split" Different Jobs Among AIRR Members
You may wish to "split" your jobs among more than one AIRR reader and / or rootworker, according to the situation being remediated, for example, choosing one to handle your love spells and another to handle your career spells. Some AIRR practitioners do not work with clients who split the work; most, however, will do so. Please inquire of your root doctor for more information. If you do split your work according to the situation being addressed, we recommend that you tell both workers what you have planned in this regard. Giving each the name of the other(s) may enable them to coordinate their work and serve you more efficiently.
It's Not Wise to "Stack" One Job on Multiple Workers
Please avoid "stacking" your work. That is, do not hire two AIRR members to do the same spell-casting job at the same time for the same purpose without letting them both know what you plan and getting both of their agreements in advance. Stacking up work does not increase the power of the spells being cast on your behalf, nor does one spell "cancel out" the other, but -- like having two hair-colouring jobs, one on top of the other -- stacking up your spells can have unexpected results that could have been avoided with pre-planning.
Casting Spells Alongside Your Worker? What a Great Idea!
Many of the members of AIRR are glad to not only read for you and to cast spells or set lights on your behalf, they enjoy working with clients who want to learn a bit of conjure too. That is why so many of us offer sessions of rootwork advice or even magical coaching. If you have already begun spell-casting on your own and want to hire a root doctor who will augment your conjure spells, feel perfectly free to explain your needs. Likewise, if you have not yet begun spell-casting and want to hire a professional conjure doctor who will give you a role in the work and assign you to perform certain aspects of the job yourself -- such as bathing, setting lights, deploying spiritual supplies, or burying materials in your locale -- just speak up and tell us at the outset. This is called "backing up the work" and it is a highly traditional part of conjure practice. Typically your spiritual practitioner will encourage you to back up the work by prescribing supplies for you so that you will be bathing, cleansing, lighting candles, or praying in support of the root doctor's work on your behalf. If you already have had some experience in hoodoo or feel drawn to the work and want to learn more, you might also ask your practitioner about "tandem spell-casting," a form of backing up the work in which you take a more active role, for instance, by both you and the conjure doctor performing spiritual work such as lighting candles and saying prayers at the same time every day. If you are interested in working alongside your root doctor, please make your interests known at the outset. By knowing what you are already doing at home, or what we can expect you to do to back up the work, we can coordinate our spiritual efforts, avoid "stacking" up the jobs, and, hopefully, teach you some valuable and authentic hoodoo spell-casting techniques. Who knows? Perhaps you might someday become a conjure doctor yourself!
