Frequently Asked Questions
What is Hoodoo?
Hoodoo is a set of magical practices originating in Africa which, through the process of syncretism, has absorbed some beliefs and practices from other cultures read more.
What are your qualifications?
Folks often ask me, "Carolina Dean, how did you learn about magic, witchcraft, and hoodoo?" I usually reply that the short answer is that I learned from books, classes, various people who have come in and out of my life, from spirits, from experiences, and even from my own mistakes...read more.
Where are you located?
I was born and raised in upstate South Carolina. However, I moved from South Carolina to Washington State in 2006. My business is called Carolina Conjure to honor not only my homeland, it's traditions, but my own Ancestors as well.
Can I meet / visit / speak to you about my issue or condition?
Unfortunately, with the exception of long time clients and people I know in real life... I do not meet clients in person; nor do I speak with them by phone. All communication with me is done through email. In the past I have shared my address / phone number with clients only to have them attempt to insinuate themselves into my personal life causing disruptions (such as 3 am calls). For this reason I prefer to keep a professional distance with clear boundaries.

Do you do love / abundance / cursing / etc... rootwork?
My rootwork is limited to fixing mojo bags and the setting of lights. However, I do offer lights for various purposes which include love, abundance, health, healing, protection, hot-footing, etc... And in addition to my divination services, I can also make you a doll baby that you can work yourself.
What is the difference between Rootwork and Setting Lights?
Setting lights is one form of rootwork which entails the burning of a fixed Vigil-Candle on top of a client’s petition for a period of about 5 days. When you engage me to set lights for you, I will ritually prepare a Vigil Light in accordance with traditional techniques and for your specific issue, condition, or situation. Your light will be set the morning after your payment is sent and you will receive your candle burn report about seven days later.
Rootwork, on the other hand, encompasses a wider range of magical practices that rootworkers are often employed to perform on a client's behalf. Some examples of such work includes, but is not limited to the following:

How do I choose the right product for me ?
Setting Lights is an inspiring and practical manner of initiating change or achieving a particular goal, however it is not always the right tool for the job. You wouldn't hammer a nail with a screw driver and then wonder why it wasn't working would you? In Hoodoo we have many tools in our toolbox, such as mojo bags, doll babies, spiritual baths, bottles spells, etc... so to get the best results we want to use the right tool for the task before us.
When in doubt it always a good idea to get a divination, such as a tarot reading, to assess your situation. If you don't want to get a reading you can purchase a setting of lights for your specific condition and regard it as a test light for your situation. When you purchase a setting of lights, not only are you getting a spell cast on your behalf you are also getting something of a divination in the form of a candle burn report.
