Catherine Yronwode
From Association of Independent Readers and Rootworkers
I have been a reader and rootworker for most of my life. I first began reading palms and doing numerology, bibliomancy, and tea leaf readings for friends as a child during the 1950s, and took up professional work along these lines as a teen-ager. By 1965 i was also reading tarot cards and the I Ching for clients, and in 1967, i became a professional astrologer. I also offer pendulum readings on yes / no questions, casting and reading bones, and psychometry, with a specialty in reading photographs.
BOOKS, STORE, COURSES, WORKSHOPS, and WEB SITES
I am a writer, teacher, graphic artist, web designer, typesetter, editor, podcaster, perfumer, and herbalist, a member of the Board of Bishops of the Association of Independent Spiritual Churches, a founding member of AIRR, a pastor in the Crystal Silence League, and a minister at Missionary Independent Spiritual Church under the aegis of the AISC denomination, a member of the board of directors of the Yronwode Institution for the Preservation and Popularization of Indigenous Ethnomagicology (YIPPIE), a member of Hoodoo Psychics, and a lifetime member of the American Society of Dowsers (ASD). My husband nagasiva and i co-own the Lucky Mojo Curio Company manufactory for spiritual supplies and i am the co-host of the weekly Lucky Mojo Hoodoo Rootwork Hour radio show on the LMC Radio Network and give free readings there to call-in clients. In addition, i have written many free educational web sites on the popular culture of magic and divination, including Hoodoo in Theory and Practice, The Lucky W Amulet Archive, Hoodoo and Blues Lyrics, Southern Spirits, Herb Magic, Your Wate and Fate, and The Mystic Tea Room.
I teach a one-year intensive course in spiritual conjure practice. All the Associates of AIRR have graduated from my Hoodoo Rootwork Correspondence Course, and more than 2,100 other students have enrolled in it. I am a co-founder of, and have taught classes at, the AISC's annual Hoodoo Heritage Festival Workshops, and my video workshops are available for download via AIRR. I am the author of Hoodoo Herb and Root Magic, Throwing the Bones The Art of Hoodoo Candle Magic, The Art of Making Mojos, Paper In My Shoe: Name Papers, Petition Papers, and Prayer Papers, Down-Home Sex Magic, and Hoodoo Dolls and Effigies, as well as the co-writer of The Black Folder and The Red Folder with various authors, This Amazing Book: Hoodoo Herb and Root Medicine with "Sunrae", Legends of Incense, Herb, and Oil Magic with Lewis de Claremont, The Secret of Numbers Revealed with Godfrey Spencer and Dr. Roy Page Walton, The Guiding Light to Power and Success with Mikhail Strabo, Terrors of the Evil Eye Exposed with Henri Gamache and Dr. Jeremy Weiss, Genuine Black and White Magic of Marie Laveau with various authors, Bottle Up and Go! with Lara Rivera, How to Use Amulets, Charms, and Talismans with Gregory Lee White, The Stranger in the Cup with Gregory Lee White, Secrets of the Crystal Silence League with Claude Alexander Conlin and Deacon Millett, Astrology for Rootworkers with Prof. A. F. Seward. and Sneaky Tricks with Miss Michaele.
PSYCHIC READINGS AND MAGICAL CONSULTATIONS
You can book a reading or a spiritual consultation and rootwork advice on the phone or in person. We can talk about anything that interests you and i can combine the divination with personal instructions for spellcasting. For instance, i can prescribe conjure supplies for your condition or situation, teach you the use of appropriate Psalms, give you magical spells by direct verbal instruction, or advise you about your spiritual path.
If your interests range farther afield, i can also describe for you various aspects of world-wide folk magic, old-time rural acoustic blues and country music, ways to improve your website business presence through search engine optimization, and recent medical studies on the relationships between ethnicity, genealogy, and genetics.
All of my readings and spiritual counselling sessions are conducted through Missionary Independent Spiritual Church, which sponsors the Association of Independent Readers and Rootworkers.
I live in the town of Forestville, California. I am open to seeing those who travel to visit me, but please book in-person readings in advance, to ensure that i will be available when you arrive.
ROOTWORK AND CANDLE SERVICES
Through Missionary Independent Spiritual Church, i offer candle services with petitions and prayers on behalf of clients and a hand-written candle report is sent to you by email after the candle has finished burning, in which you will receive a brief candle glass divination, describing the signs and significations we found while tending to your prayer light.
You may read more about me at my Lucky Mojo website.

If you engage one of them, i will provide a complete copy of my notes from our reading to the worker of your choice, via email. This will save you considerable time in consultation. My consultation notes are not available to the public and can only be sent to another AIRR member upon receipt of a request from you, the client.

Testimonials
June 1998: "Thanks for the advice about how to avoid getting cheated by fake psychics. That saved me from making a very expensive mistake." G.L.
August 1999: "Thank you for the mojo hands. I won over $7,000 in blackjack online, which is incredible. Natural ingredients make a big difference." M.S.
March 2000: "Just wanted to say how great the triple-strength Money-Drawing Mojo Hand I got from Lucky Mojo is. I've only had it a short while, but I am finding money in parking lots, in lounges, and just yesterday, in my modified 13-game lottery wheel, I had 11 winners." K.S.
July 2000: "Some months back you made a healing hand for my nephew. Within a month, his blood-work was back to normal, and his doctor visits reduced. He has continued to receive good checkups since then." M.K.S.
October 2002: "My Law Keep Away package worked wonderfully. I had involvement with the police last week, and before they could utter one sentence a call came through across the CB [and they] left immediately." E.B.
September 2006: "I ordered some things from Lucky Mojo for a court case. I was on trial for a crime which I did not commit. Although the case appeared as though it was not going in my favor, the final words were "not guilty" and I was acquitted." A.
March 2009: "I'd like to thank catherine yronwode for setting lights and prayer for me during a bad divorce and custody battle. Never had to say one word in court and we came to a settlement that day at the courthouse outside the courtroom." D.N.A.
March 2009: "The reading I received from cat was honest and intuitive, and she gave me some valuable life coaching that is worth more than I can ever repay her for." S.H.
