Do all of your clients ‘believe’ in the hoodoo magic?
Can you tell us the difference between Voodoo and Hoodoo?
I get a mix of both, clients who fully believe and have a background in hoodoo or other magical traditions, as well as clients who are unsure, but maintain an open mind.
Hoodoo is African American folk magic, derived primarily from the southern part of the United States and practices how to influence yourself and the world around you. People seem to be attracted to hoodoo because of its flexibility and non-denominational status. Some believe that the bible has magical powers, others do not use the bible and take more of a spiritual path within the practice.
A client testimonial: "I can easily say that the reading I received from Khi was one of the best I’ve ever had. The combination of his knowledge of the cards and his deep connection to the spirit world, resulted in a truly profound and wonderful experience. To this day I’m still thinking about that reading and the ripples it has spread throughout my life." Can you tell us what services you provide to your clients? I offer psychic readings with tarot cards and/ or a ‘casting of the bones.’ The animal bones are thrown onto goat skin and I am able to read the patterns, once the bones have fallen into place. For the record, I do not sacrifice animals, as the media might like to portray, most herbs, minerals, oils, and bones, can be purchased sustainably from local vendors, and I do wild-harvest some of my own supplies. I had an interesting reading a couple weeks ago where a young woman was talking to me about a relationship she has been in for 4 years, but doesn’t feel it’s moving forward. I told her that he may not be the one for her, and the key to finding success in love had to do with her mother. A few moments later, she told me that every reader she has been to in the past, has told her that there is a curse on her mother from before she was born. We realized that her roads in life have been blocked due to this curse, which then gave us the ability to work on and resolve her relationship issues.
Voodoo, derived mainly from Haiti (granted official religious status in 2003), is a religious cult involving witchcraft and communication by trance with ancestors and animistic deities. Vodouisants believe in a supreme being called Bondye, but also worship many lesser spirits, as the loa. What do you say to potential clients when they are looking for some type of validation that you are a certified hoodoo witch doctor, and not a phony looking to make a quick buck? I am affiliated with the Association of Independent Readers & Rootworkers, which offers an enormous amount of credibility in my line of work. Honestly, if someone is a hardcore skeptic, I would kindly ask that they not knock on my door, because I have would rather spend my time working with clients who are ready to work with me toward transformation. I have
certainly read for people who were once skeptic, but after telling them information that there was no way I had any knowledge of, they soon became believers. No practitioner who claims “guaranteed results” should be trusted. Can a doctor guarantee she will cure you? What I can guarantee is compassion, an honest assessment of your situation, practical advice, and the assurance that I do my best to catalyze a positive change in the lives of all my clients. “We have grown up in a society that has disenchanted everything, but there are people who remember that the world is full of life and power. We need to remember our life, our power. I try to be a lighthouse among a disempowered people.” -Khi Armand Khi Armand is a Psychic Intuitive & Urban Shaman, providing revolutionary services of insight, renewal, and manifestation, as well as a purveyor of time-honored and innovative talismans and tools prepared in the Southern Conjure Hoodoo tradition.

Another woman came looking for a general psychic reading, but the moment I started reading her cards, I saw that she has a friend who was really jealous of her because she is getting married, and this friend is actively doing work to do her harm. This wasn’t the reading she expected, but it’s really about going into each session without any expectations and letting the spirits guide each reading.
