This begins a new category in my website for readers to ask questions of me regarding various subjects. Enjoy! – J.
Readers Question – Why did you not take my case?
I recently had a reading with you and in your reading, it said I needed to do some candles and other work. You refused to do the work for me? Why? Was it something I did? – T.T.
* * * * * * *
I turn down certain spiritual work for various reasons, and sometimes it is because of the actions of the client, and sometimes not.
Sometimes people want things to go their way when it is not reasonable at the time – meaning – that it would be better to wait than act on something now, in order to get a better result later. Sometimes, I morally object to what the client wants. Sometimes it is technically do-able, but the client wants immediate results and “immediate” is not the methodology to take in that matter. Other times I have determined that it would take a matter of weeks and I have other scheduling events that would not allow me to work in a manner that is ethical for me – meaning I COULD just burn the candle and be on the other side of the continent and just have a family member take the photo, etc. but I personally would not be doing this, and then there is the problem. If I say I am going to do something for you, I do not delegate it to another person, like some other hoodoo practitioners do. I have heard of another highly regarded hoodoo practitioner who has taken the course to learn hoodoo, that has others burn the candles for them, thus charging more, yet “subcontracting” out to others at a lower price.
There are other reasons that I do not take on spiritual case work. They could be:
* I am sick
* Sometimes the case is too difficult for my energy and strength to take on
* The people involved are cavorting with dangerous items or subjects
* The would-be client has an agenda or is rude to me
* The would-be client shows tendencies that they would be ‘needy’ or pounding me with daily e-mails on the matter
* The would-be client is ‘high drama’
* Sometimes there is no hope for the situation
* The expectations of the would-be client are not logical
In your particular case (and I only used your initials in this article), you asked me many questions over a period of weeks before booking a consultation. Then, you did not like the price I set for my work, as it would going to be a long stretch of candles and such. You tried to negotiate the costs to one candle. You clearly did not want the investment to get the results you seek. You continued to send me e-mails asking about alternative methods to your conclusion. I entertained a few more questions, but then I politely but firmly told you that the reading gave you clear instructions on how to do your spiritual work and it was time that you either consider the information given or spend time in research in preparing your own spiritual work to achieve what you wanted. I politely turned down any future e-mails on the subject as it is my time that you are utilizing as you ask questions on the validity of candles and products, and for that, it is a consultation.
On a more personal note, you have allowed this behavior of the person that is the subject of your concerns to behave in a certain manner through the births of your many children. There is a pattern set, and because of your fear of perceived societal judgement, you allow this person to continue in their behavior. They know that you will not act because of this fear. This is a “waltz” at the cotillion ball of Life that you do not like but will not break out of this dance, yet you complain that it is the “same ole’ thang”. If you want this person to sit up and take notice, put your foot down and let them squirm.
God Bless you and Good Luck!
