PLEASE NOTE: "Thanks to an impending addition to my family :) I will be taking a break from Jan 1st to March 1st, 2012 although I will still be available for your questions. I will be undertaking a limited number of consultations and services from now until Dec 31st 2011 so please contact me immediately if you are thinking about placing any orders. I will always be happy to light you a candle, and between Jan 1st to March 1st I will still be able to recommend your case to other trusted workers in my spiritual family." ♥ Sophia

LaSirena Botanica offers Services including Spiritual Consultations, Lenormand Card Readings and Vodou Song Lesson CDs. We undertake both paid and charitable spiritual and magical work which is always tailored towards the client’s individual needs after appropriate consultation.

GedeSpiritual Consultations from £29
A deeply personal, fully confidential Spiritual Reading during which the Lwa and Ancestors are consulted on your behalf. Readings last between 30-45 minutes and are available by phone or e-mail, please book well in advance. * TO BOOK A CONSULTATION * CLICK HERE

We all have Spirits just as we all have Ancestors. You do not have to be of any particular faith to benefit from a spiritual reading. Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Sufi as well as those who actively serve the Lwa have all been known to ask for assistance.

*ALSO* Spiritual Work by Quotation
Consultations are necessary before any work. You wouldn't prescribe medication for yourself, why do it for your spiritual/magical needs? Find out what is really needed to aid your situation first and book a Spiritual Reading!

We accept Kiva donations and payments via Paypal and can provide references.

Resources

About the Lwa
Receiving spiritual guidance lies at the core of 21 Divisions Vodou, it is the heart of the faith. So getting to know one’s personal spirits and how to work with them is very important. Everyone has spirits that “walk with” or are close to them, and part of the function of ceremonies is to ascertain and strengthen these connections... [More]

The 21 Divisions
The 21 Divisions tradition is similar in many ways to Haitian Vodou, however there are also some important differences. I do not proclaim to be able to teach about it yet, I am still learning and must be humble, but I am pleased to provide some links and material here, so that you can explore this beautiful and often unheard-of spirituality for yourself (the page will grow with time)...

Santa Marta La Dominadora
A bowl of honey, coffee grounds and stars, the end of a cigar, your picture from the circus, winding arms and winding snakes. A whirling memory, I dig a hole, I empty out the grounds and I libate. Thank you Santa Marta la Dominadora, you bless us with your presence... [More]

Ogou, King of the Angels
There’s a beautiful song used for calling Ogou, and it has the most haunting melody and words. I will share the lyrics in full as it is a very important song... [More]
