Exciting News, Candle Reports, Spell Reports, and Readings

Hi everyone,

Well crazy times just get crazier over at Milagro Roots!  This weekend our family is moving into a new home and Milagro Roots will have a separate office space--dubbed by Miss cat the "conjure casita."  Phone lines will be up and running by Sunday and I will perform my first readings in the new space on Monday.  I am recovering from a nasty 48 hour virus that hit me last week and has pushed me behind schedule on candle reports, spell reports and a few readings--so for those of you who have been waiting patiently, I'm afraid you will have to wait a little bit longer.  We are thrilled with our new home, but with the chaos of moving, a 1.5 month old little one and all the rest I am juggling a lot of balls right now and I appreciate everyone's patience.  In the meantime my readings have become even more popular and I am now booked pretty much through the end of April.  I am also thrilled to announce that both Momma Hen and myself will be finishing our apprentice week at Lucky Mojo and attending the workshops the first weekend of May.  I will be performing readings in the reading tent so for those of you who are attending--look for me there!

On Candles and Candle Reports

So here is the deal on candles and candle reports.  Right now I burn between 50 and 70 vigil candles a week.  That means that at the end of each week I have between 50 and 70 candle reports to get out to clients.  I love blessing and dressing candles for clients, I love facilitating my candle altar, but what I do not love are the many emails I receive on a weekly basis wanting to know when "my" candle report will be ready.  On my FAQ's page I clearly state that vigil candle reports may not come out for 2-3 weeks after the candle has been burned depending on my schedule and how busy I am.  What I did not state there because I thought it was obvious was that every email inquiry I get asking me about candle reports is going to slow down the typing up of the actual report that much more.  I think that the confusion around candle reports is really my own fault--I have always been very good about getting reports out immediately so all of my clients expect that, but the truth is that candle reports come out when I have a chunk of time at my disposal to type up between 50-70 reports.  Sending me emails every day asking when your candle report is going to be ready does not make it get out to you any faster and in fact slows down the process.  Patience is appreciated.  Naturally if it has been a really long time and you have not received a candle report, shoot me a quick email--I make mistakes like every one and may have overlooked yours, but starting today I am no longer responding to emails asking when my candle report will be ready--instead I will use the time that I would have spent writing responses to actually write the reports.

Email Readings

I have been doing a lot of email readings lately and a common question I am asked is: are email readings the same as a phone reading?  Well the answer as you might expect is a bit complicated. On the one hand a reading is a reading--the style that I have over the phone is similar to the style I have via email and the manner in which I read is the same.  Email readings are especially good when folks have quick questions that require either a pendulum or a three card draw.  They can also be useful for clients for whom English is a second language, although I confess, I have always wanted to see one of my email readings translated from the translation!  On the other hand, email is not the best venue for complicated cases that may require me to ask questions and get a good deal of information from the client.  Generally speaking email sessions for magical coaching are great but for consultations when I am deciding whether or not to take on a case, unless I have read for you via phone before, you probably want to schedule a phone reading as opposed to one via email.  

The awesome thing about email readings is that you have all of the information right there laid out for you in black and white, as well as my suggestions for spell work.  The great thing about phone readings or readings via skype is that we get to interact with each other, you can ask me questions as they occur and I can do the same--a phone reading is definitely more personable, but if you need information quickly, often email is the better way to go.  If you decide that you want an email reading with me make sure that you include the names and birth dates of any and all parties involved in your situation, some background info on what has been happening, and the questions that you have.

Back in the saddle!

Alright!  Almost two weeks into motherhood and so far so good--Jasper is doing awesome and I am finding my balance between work and child rearing. All outstanding candle reports have been sent out, all outstanding ritual work reports and pictures have been sent and new vigil candle and custom candle orders have been filled.  As of right now I am scheduling readings for next week--I will not do as many readings a day as I did before giving birth which means that I am booked farther into advance earlier so if you have been wanting a phone reading go ahead and book it now to insure that you get the earliest time available.  I am not going to offer my ten minute readings via phone for the foreseeable future though they will still be available via email.  It turns out that grabbing ten minutes over the phone is tougher than grabbing half an hour or an hour! New ritual work cases will also be started up next week, so if we have discussed that in the past and you were waiting for the green light now you have it!  Since I am doing more readings via email right now I will write a post in the next couple of days about email readings and how they work.

Introducing Jasper Henderson Saussy

Our little one arrived on March 1st at 3:31am!  Mom and baby are both doing great after a 27 hour labor--whew and now we are back home. I am typing this and he is sleeping by my side.  I have a ton of client emails to go through so if you haven't heard from me just be patient.  I am going to do my best to knock em out today and tomorrow but baby will determine the amount of time I have to do so.  I will not be booking phone readings and new ritual work until the week of March 14th as things stand now--that could be subject to change and if it does I will post it here.  I am able to get out email readings more easily since I can do them as I have time, so if you have to have a reading, let me know you want it via email.  Thanks to each and every one of you for your unwavering support of us--we felt the prayers and they absolutely worked!  I was able to give birth the way I wanted to even though it was a last minute, game-time decision--I know that the prayers, positive energy, and wonderful thoughts directed our way really did the trick!
