My Services

African traditional medicine seeks to discover and to treat the root causes of common physical and psychological ailments. Many are listed below:
Anxiety & Depression
PTSD & ADHD
Cancer
Auto-Immune Diseases
Addiction
Spiritual Realignment
Personal & Home Protection
Business Protection
Wealth Protection
Life Coaching
Relationship Issues
Reversal Of Bad Luck
In addition, a ritualized, benevolent form of black magic can be employed to protect your home, business, vehicle or person. Think of it as the African version of Feng Shui but much more powerful. Gary will never agree to use black magic against another person or business.

My Fees

The rates for my services are on par with other Alternative Medicine practitioners in the GTA. Please note: I do not offer online (ie: Zoom or Google Meet) sessions for Readings of the Bones. They are much more effective in person. You should be skeptical of any Sangoma or African traditional healer who is willing to perform online divinations or Bone readings. The physical presence of the individual is absolutely essential to the success of the reading.

Home And Business Protection

Protection for homes and businesses (including vehicles) is increasingly in demand. A benevolent form of black magic is employed during these services. The rituals are complicated and somewhat lengthy. Gary will provide the client with a list of articles to purchase in advance as well as the required offerings (ie: beverages and food for the ancestors). The process can take between two and four hours and must be performed at the location. In the case of a business, at least one of the owners must be present and the ritual is best performed outside of regular working hours.

For protection of a home, the assistance of as many family members as possible who are resident in the house is preferred. Please note that homes with a yard or businesses with a perimeter area require the burial of a number of small objects that should be kept away from pets and children. Usually accomplished by covering the burial sites with stones or other heavy objects. The cost of these services depends on the size of the home or business. For large businesses or residential estates, the assistance of another Sangoma may be required. Any travel expenses for additional Sangomas are included in the fee. Gary will provide a no obligation quote in advance of the service. All protection rituals must be paid in advance less any cash offering made on the day of the service.

Your Visit With The Sangoma

HOW TO PREPARE FOR A CONSULTATION OR READING OF THE BONES

CONSULTATIONS

There is no preparation required for a consultation with the Sangoma other than some honest self-analysis about what you want his services to achieve. It is one of the first questions that Gary will ask you.

OFFERINGS

Any in-person consultation or reading  with the Sangoma requires an offering to the ancestors. Usually in cash as it must be visible to them. In the past, clients brought chickens, goats or alcohol in payment to the Sangoma but now cash is the norm; even in South Africa. In order to simplify the process, Gary will provide a suitable cash offering for all online consultations.

APPOINTMENTS & PAYMENTS

Appointments can be booked by selecting your desired service and clicking on the corresponding button above. Once made you will receive an email with the appointment details, the service requested and the fee. You will also find a secure link to make payment. Spirit Afrika does not receive nor store your credit card details. Appointments are not confirmed until payment has been made and will be cancelled if not paid within 48 hours.

CANCELLATION POLICY

Appointments may be cancelled or changed free of charge up to 24 hours before the scheduled service. No shows, both at Gary's office and out calls, will be charged the full fee.

MOBILE DEVICES

Cellular phones and other mobile devices must be turned off, muted and placed aside during consultations and readings. 

READINGS OF THE BONES

It is important to show your intention to the ancestors before a reading of the Bones. This is achieved by bringing some of the articles needed to prepare the sacred space. The act of purchasing these items  yourself demonstrates intention. Unless instructed otherwise by Gary, please bring two tapered white candles (small tea candles are acceptable) and a small amount (2 tbsps) of whiskey or vodka (used for purifying the space). You are not required to ingest any alcohol.

ALLERGIES

Tobacco in the form of snuff is used to define the sacred space. Alcohol is sprayed to purify the area. Sage or incense is burned at the beginning of a consult and during the reading of the Bones. The Bones are kept in a leather bag made of animal skins that the client will hold at certain moments in the reading. If you are allergic to any of the above or unwilling to have contact with animal skins, please advise the Sangoma in advance and he will make the appropriate adjustments.

PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS

Consultations are done sitting in a chair. Sangomas will never touch a client during a consultation. There is no exploratory or tactile examination; even when the client is describing physical symptoms. The Reading of the Bones is performed without shoes and usually sitting or kneeling on the floor. If you are in a wheelchair or physically unable to sit on the floor, please advise Gary in advance so that he can accommodate your needs.
Disclaimer: African traditional medicine is a holistic treatment and not a substitute for standard medical care. If you feel that you have a physical illness, please seek appropriate medical attention. No professional Sangoma will ever ask you to substitute herbal remedies for drugs prescribed by your family doctor or specialist. However, the services of a Sangoma will frequently alleviate physical symptoms to the extent that the patient might decide to discontinue the use of pharmaceuticals that are often toxic to the system. This decision should only be taken after consulting with your primary physician or specialist. Results may vary for each individual.

Is a Sangoma right for me?

Still not convinced that African traditional medicine or a visit with the Sangoma is what you need? You can speak with Gary first at no charge. He is available every Monday for a free fifteen min. introductory chat by phone or, if you prefer, a video call by Google Meet or Zoom.
