DISCLAIMER: The results of spell work are never guaranteed. Each and every individual has a uniquely different life situation and therefore different physical, mental, emotional and spiritual blockages present. These external factors have a direct effect on any spiritual work. My work has a very high success rate as can be seen from hundreds of client testimonials but it is important that before booking you are aware that your desired result is not promised. The manifestation of your desired result also depends on your own beliefs. If you are sceptical or have doubts then this creates a blockage in itself as does impatience. There is no specific time frame in which a spell manifests. Any spellcaster who claims you will see results after a specific length of time is being dishonest with you as there is no way of knowing for sure. Please be patient and give spells time to work. It could be two hours, two days, two weeks or two months but that isn't up to you

Book Description
In Wizards and Scientists Stephan Palmié offers a corrective to the existing historiography on the Caribbean. Focusing on developments in Afro-Cuban religious culture, he demonstrates that traditional Caribbean cultural practices are part and parcel of the same history that produced modernity and that both represent complexly interrelated hybrid formations. Palmié argues that the standard narrative trajectory from tradition to modernity, and from passion to reason, is a violation of the synergistic processes through which historically specific, moral communities develop the cultural forms that integrate them. Highlighting the ways that Afro-Cuban discourses serve as a means of moral analysis of social action, Palmié suggests that the supposedly irrational premises of Afro-Cuban religious traditions not only rival Western rationality in analytical acumen but are integrally linked to rationality itself. Afro-Cuban religion is as “modern” as nuclear thermodynamics, he claims, just as the Caribbean might be regarded as one of the world’s first truly “modern” locales: based on the appropriation and destruction of human bodies for profit, its plantation export economy anticipated the industrial revolution in the metropolis by more than a century. Working to prove that modernity is not just an aspect of the West, Palmié focuses on those whose physical abuse and intellectual denigration were the price paid for modernity’s achievement. All cultures influenced by the transcontinental Atlantic economy share a legacy of slave commerce. Nevertheless, local forms of moral imagination have developed distinctive yet interrelated responses to this violent past and the contradiction-ridden postcolonial present that can be analyzed as forms of historical and social analysis in their own right.
