Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who
looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.

Sister Bridget
Sister Bridget, as an initiated Priestess of Ogoun, is now offering services to create, consecrate, and burn a voodoo lamp to Ogoun on your behalf! We realize that most people do not know a lot about Voodoo lamps, but these particular types of lamps are considered a very meaningful and important type of service to offer to the lwa.
Voodoo oil lamps are steeped in rich history and ritual originating in Africa, traveling to the United States, Haiti, and other countries. It is considered a great honor and an extraordinary offering to the lwa (Voodoo spirits) to burn a lamp on their behalf and ask for their favor on a particular matter in return. These lamps are not your every day “oil lamps.” These are lamps that are ritually composed and burned on your behalf. Do you feel like a matter in your life is “steeped in darkness?” Is there something you cannot see the solution to or feel like you are in the dark about? Is the answer to your happiness hidden from you? The Voodoo Ritual Lamp is meant to shine the light on your goal and light the path for you to obtain that which you desire. Sister Bridget’s Voodoo Lamps are a very unique combination of a ritual to Ogoun and a fire offering to Ogoun. Ogoun then takes this fire and applies it to whatever you have requested through Sister Bridget. This is truly an amazing thing because you are literally feeding fire to Ogoun and asking him to take that energy into your goal!
Voodoo Priestesses and Priests are trained in the art and ritual of the Voodoo Lamp. This is something that only an initiate can truly do properly and effectively, though, of course, anyone could burn an oil lamp in honor of a lwa! But if you want the true and authentic lamp of a Priestess done for you, this is Sister Bridget’s speciality.
Also, Sister Bridget is proud to offer a unique Lamp Ritual to the Power Couple Ogoun and Erzulie Freda! Harness the powerful love between these two great spirits, and infuse it into your situation.
Each ritual is customized just for you and the lamps are burned for each individual for any request that you desire. When Sister Bridget has completed your lamp ritual and burning, she will then send you a complete report on your ritual as well as a picture of your lamp ritual, some of the oil and herbs used in your lamp, and instructions on how to use them to further empower the ritual on your end. In this way, although you are not required to build and burn a ritual lamp, you still are able to put some of your own energy into your goal.
Once you order your personal lamp ritual, Sister Bridget will contact you to discuss what your goals are for the burning of the lamp. All petitions can be made for personal empowerment, love, luck, money, banishing, or other custom needs you might have.
For an extra special value, you may also order a 15 minute tarot reading to be done for you while your lamp is burning during your ritual. Ordering the lamp and reading combined offers you an excellent value! For even more value, you may choose to get a total service package of a 15 minute tarot reading, lamp burning ritual, and a Pendulum of Ogoun reading. Please check out Sister Bridget’s Page for complete information and ordering instructions.
Best of luck to all of you – may the Light of Ogoun shine for each and every one of you!

TAROT READINGS: While she does specialize in love readings, Sister Bridget can read for you on any subject that you desire. If you have done spellwork with us here at Spellmaker, she can also help you in obtaining guidance regarding the effects, efficacy, and possible challenges of your spellwork.
Readings are offered either by email, in a secure chatroom, or by phone. (Please note that doing your reading in the chatroom does allow Sister Bridget to send you a transcript of the reading for future reference. This is highly recommended) Explore the world of tarot with Sister Bridget! We promise you will not be disappointed in her skill, spiritual gifts, and kindness.
PENDULUM OF OGOUN READINGS: You may now also order either separately or with your tarot reading, a Pendulum of Ogoun reading with Sister Bridget. Sister Bridget will use her sacred pendulum to Ogoun, along with “answer charts” in order to get you guidance directly from Ogoun. With these pendulum readings it is important to know that this is Ogoun’s answer to your question, not Sister Bridget’s interpretation of information for you. She is going to ask the question directly to her power guardian lwa, Ogoun, and get the answer from the pendulum as it is guided by Ogoun. When you order a pendulum reading, please plan on discussing with Sister Bridget how to frame your questions to get the most accurate answer.
To order a reading please see http://www.spellmaker.com/bridget.htm . Be sure to follow the link in the confirmation email to fill out the form with your information.
Help with phrasing questions for Tarot:
For sure, we when coming into a reading, as a client you will have things you desire clarification on. Knowing how to phrase questions well will help you get the most possible benefit from your reading. Here are some basic guidelines.
The Tarot will give you an overview of a situation and let you know what will happen if you choose to either do nothing and continue the way you are going, or take another path. The tarot itself is more about insight and guidance that black and white answers. Open ended questions seem to work best. Here are some examples:
Can you give me insight into …
What do I need to understand about …
What is the meaning of …
What is the lesson or purpose of …
What are the circumstances underlying …
How can I improve my chances of …
How might I …
What do I need to know about . . . ?
What internal and external influences are affecting my goal to…?
What is the next step I need to take to achieve . . . ?
What is standing in the way of my . . . ?
How can I best overcome the obstacle of . . . ?
How can I be a better . . . ?
Which is the best choice between . . . ?
Asking closed ended questions limits the scope of advice that the cards can lend. Yes and No questions can be asked, but that then leaves us asking yet another question about what to do next. The cards themselves do not give specific names, places or dates. Although, general time frames can be interpreted by a skilled reader 😉 (We can address timelines in another post!) And always, if you are having trouble framing a question, just describe what it is you wish to know about, what information you are seeking, and we can work together on phrasing your question. No worries!
Keep in mind that there are always challenges and obstacles in life and the Tarot never gives an inevitable outcome but, rather, a possible one based on the circumstances presently surrounding your question. Readings of any kind should be used as a tool to help you in deciding what to do next, what you can work towards changing, and what you decide to accept as your destiny. In other words, if you get a reading that doesn’t seem particularly good, what can you do to change that? If you couldn’t potentially change your future, then we at Spellmaker wouldn’t be here working so hard for you and with you!
Light and Love
Sister Bridget
