Dear Lexa,
I have three books of magickal ingredients, spells, and rituals. I have owned your book of Magickal Ingredients since it hit the bookshelves. And I have these two questions regarding it.
1) In your book Chicory (bark and leaves) are viewed and used in a positive way. And in all the others it has very negative properties explained about this ingredient. I have stayed away from it for this reason for years. I was wondering if it can be used for both (good and bad) or if it needs to be used with caution in order for this ingredient to be positive?
2) Rooibos. I was wondering if this tea is useful for any specific purpose? (In spells, rituals, baths, etc.) Since it wasn't listed in your book and I have yet to find any other magickal information about it's properties. I felt compelled to ask you about it.
I wanted to thank you in advance for your answers and for your time. And I wanted to express my gratitude for your book as it has been invaluable to me!
Very truly yours,
Leigh
Greetings Leigh
In my opinion, Chicory is an invigorating and most helpful plant. It's use has been recorded since ancient times for variety of positive purposes and enjoyment. It is possible that some may consider it negative because of it's bitterness? Also it was (maybe still is) used to kill intestinal parasites and is also deadly to the silk worm. Perhaps this is connected with it being negative? Certainly, if one were in the silk trade business - you would not want chicory anywhere near your crop.
Rooibos has healing properties and I would also suggest the use of it in magick spells for successful returns on financial investments.
I hope you find this helpful.
blessed be

question!
Hi Lexa!
I keep forgetting to ask this question and I thought I'd send it to your email specified on your blog... there's a ritual I've been doing for the past year to get rid of negative energy and bring in positive energy. I've been careful to do it not too close or far from either the full or new moon, and made sure to not do it during the moon void of course. I've also tried to pay attention to the significance of the day I chose, and also the time. Whew, lots of stuff to think about! But then there is one more thing. I'm wondering if it must be done under the moon itself...so do I have to also pay attention to the rising and setting times of the moon? Or is it just as good to do it when it isn't visible? Anything else I'm missing? I mean, I've definitely felt the great effects of this ritual, it's one of my favorites if only as a reminder to be positive because after all, I did that ritual. But I was just curious for a while if I should also take into account the rising and setting. I was trying to anyway because it's more enjoyable to see the moon when doing something that involves her, but with all of the other considerations plus work time, etc, it can become quite difficult to schedule!
Thanks Witch Doctor!

this is a wonderful question and I love the thought and attention you pay to your rituals. With lunar rites, the rule is to use a waning moon (full to new moon period) when working to banish negative energy and to use a waxing moon (new to full moon period) when trying to invoke positive energy.
Lunar rituals are definitely more powerful when performed under the light of the moon (or at moonrise not moonset). Often it is not possible to perform the rite under the light of the moon. (and there could be multiple reasons for this such as: your schedule, a cloudy night, new or dark moon rites, location limitations...) The rule of thumb is that once you perform the ritual (even if not under the light of the moon), you must track the moon and connect with it's energies until the end of the cycle in which you performed the ritual. For example, if you did a ritual to get rid of negative energy during a waning moon, you should look for the light of the moon at least 3 nights after the rite. Watch it's light diminish and as it does, so will your problem diminish. If you perform a ritual to bring positive energy on a new moon or growing moon, track the moon and watch it grow. Try to connect with the full moon of that ritual cycle so you can visualize your positive situation coming to fruition.
In the case of your ritual, there is a dual purpose and so it is more complex. In my opinion, you should do the ritual on the first day or evening (or at moonrise) of the new moon because the moon is still dark and therefore a perfect time to get rid of negative energy. Then on the second day of the new moon (or 3rd day), look for the first sliver of light in the sky and visualize your positive energy growing. In fact, you could even track the moon all the way to full and connect with the abundance of positive energy and light that you want to invoke into your life.
I find that the Hebrew lunar calendar is the most comprehensive, accurate, and spiritual to work with. The Rosh Chodesh (New moon) is a sacred time and will always be marked for two days on the calendar. (You can even download it on your iCal) The first day being the dark period or beginning of light not yet visible to the eye and the second day revealing the first visible sliver of light. The witches usually say to begin positive rituals 24 hrs after the new moon and that is because they are only counting the first day as the new moon day. In my experience, the first new moon day represents the conception. The second day is the birth of the light. Anyone wanting to give birth to a healthy baby, concept, project, relationship, business venture, etc would certainly want to make sure there was nothing negative present in the conception and in this way safeguarding the actual birth.
A word about the days of the weeks...Monday is sacred to the moon (Lunes) but if you follow the new moon calendar, your ritual will fall on different days of the week. I think this is a good idea because each day of the week coincides with a different part of the life. By performing your ritual on different weekdays from month to month, you can remove negative energy and bring positive energy to different areas of your life. Let the new moon inform you which day of the week is best on any given month.
The new moon days for this month are August 10 and August 11 2010. The first new moon day falls on a Tuesday. Tuesday is Mars and deals with our aggression and our sexual energy. It also relates to our health. Work on removing any negative energies in those areas of your life. The second new moon day falls on a Wednesday. Wednesday is Mercurial and governs our creativity, our art, our neighborhood, our siblings and social lives. Focus on bringing positive energy into those areas of your life for August.
Much continued success with your moon rites and thank you for this wonderful question.
love & light

Book Review published on Suite101.comabout "The Encyclopedia of Magickal Ingredients."
Here is the link to the article. Thanks to Linda Ashar for the great write up:-)

George Vecsey (NY Times Sports on Sunday) speaks with Lexa on Breaking the Jet's Curse
On Road to Super Bowl, Sprinkle Some Eye of Newt.
Observe the angst of Jets fans. They are hopeful. They are fearful. More fearful than hopeful.
Wenjie Yang
A lifelong Jets fan, Mark Williamson, with a witch, Lexa Roséan, performed a ritual in Times Square on Dec. 3 to support his team. It has lost only once since.
Mark Williamson staged an exorcism.
It is not clear exactly what he was exorcising, but some Jets fans have convinced themselves that the team is caught up in some curse, which sounds a little grandiose to me.
I think there are only so many curses to go around. I am perfectly willing to believe the Red Sox labored under a curse after letting Babe Ruth go to the Yankees for the 1920 season. It is quite likely that the Nets have been fated to lose in a ghastly swamp since ditching Julius Erving. The Cubs? That billy goat hex always sounded a little spurious to me.
But the Jets — excuse me if I offend anybody — just seem to be a generally mediocre team to which bad things happen from time to time. Then one January, there was Joe Namath.
Whatever it was, or is, that ails the Jets, Williamson was willing to do something about it. Williamson is a freelance video producer who happened to be born into a Jets family. As he said on Friday, if he had been born into a Giants family, he would have witnessed three — count ’em, three — Super Bowl championships in his 37 years.
Instead, at an early age, he witnessed the nimble Jets playing in Miami in 1982, when a sudden bog materialized in the Orange Bowl, and Richard Todd threw an interception to A.J. Duhe. To this day, if somebody in the Williamson family wants to feel particularly miserable, he or she just mutters A. J. Duhe.
This year, Williamson became an activist when the Jets hit a slump in midseason. He engaged the services of a witch named Lexa Roséan, who lives in Manhattan and says her coven of witches “did something” for the Mets in October 1986. Something to do with the withered ankles of Bill Buckner? She didn’t say.
•
Her father played some football back in Florida, Roséan claimed; therefore, she knows a bit about that sport. “Football is a much cleaner sport than baseball,” she said Friday. “Baseball has all kinds of weird superstitions.” Right. Just ask Moises Alou, still psychically standing down the left-field line in Wrigley Field, waiting to catch a long foul fly.
When Williamson had a consultation with Roséan, he said something about a vague Jets curse.
“Of course, that is open to interpretation,” Roséan said. “But the Jets were definitely blocked. As witches say, we had to uncross their path.”
She proposed that Williamson stage the ritual under a full harvest moon in early October — at a crossroads — so he chose the banks of the East River near his home in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. A brisk wind, however, blew out the candles. Can’t exorcise 40 years of no Super Bowl without candles.
This time, Williamson selected the crossroads of the world — Times Square in Manhattan. There are some of us who think Times Square needs its own exorcism of the chain stores and suburban-mall blandness, and a return of our traditional sleaze, but that is another story.
The ritual took place at about 6 p.m. Dec. 3, a day after the full cold moon, and hours before the Jets’ game against Buffalo in Toronto.
“We wanted to send the love,” Williamson said.
Roséan said the ritual was “pretty straightforward” to please the god Legba, or Elegua, as he is variably known. A petition. A chant. Candles. Three coins. And three mint candies, preferably red, but since this was for the Jets, Roséan proposed using green-and-white mints, the team colors.
Roséan was unable to attend the ritual because she had the flu. Who knew witches get the flu? Anyway, Williamson did what he was told, twirled around a bit, received hugs from passing brothers and sisters, dropped the coins, dropped the mints.
That night, the Jets beat the Bills, and they have since lost once and won four, two of them gifts from the gods — or rather from opposing coaches who did not field their best teams.
Wondering what the Jets’ trouble was over the last four decades, Williamson and Roséan hit on the absence of a strong male figure, ever since Namath’s knees gave out. Lately, they have decided that Rex Ryan, the beefy, wisecracking head coach, is the charismatic man the Jets have been lacking.
•
“There is one side effect,” Roséan said of the winning streak.
I never miss the opportunity to play straight man to a witch.
Yes, ma’am?
“I’ve fallen in love with the Jets,” she announced, having watched two recent victories. She plans to watch somewhere on Sunday but cautioned Jets fans not to leave it up to the candles and the coins and the mints.
“As a witch, I often counsel people, ‘You are the magic,’ ” she said, adding, “That last little ingredient.”
Williamson is preparing for Sunday, practicing the Jets’ chant: “J-E-T-S! Jets! Jets! Jets!”
It must be fun to be a fan. Or miserable. Or both.

substitutions for candles to mark a circle
Dear Lexa
Are there any substitutions I can use to mark a circle besides a candle? I live in an apartment complex and also use a Wheelchair. The apartment managers do not like or allow candles in the building can you help me substitute any other objects in place of candles?
The candles used to mark the quarters or 4 directions of the circle could be replaced by small electric lights or flashlights. You could also use something symbolic of the quarter instead of the candle such as
a feather to represent the east
something red and fiery (jalapeño pepper comes to mind) to represent the south
a bowl of water or a shell to represent west
a smooth stone to represent the north.
You could also just visualize the candles without actually having them there.

wronged but want to do what is right
I have a question. I firmly and totally believe what goes around comes around and would never wish harm on anyone or anything. That being said, how can you hope someone or ones get their comeuppence for doing you wrong and spreading hurtful demeaning lies and rumors around the community that people are believing and having ruined my honest and once upstanding reputation?
g
There are many spells to stop gossip and to to regain a position or reputation that has been lost. The most popular one is a candle called Tapa la Boca or Shut Your Mouth. It can be purchased in most well stocked botanicas. This candle is burned to stop the person or persons from continuing to do damage through speech or actions.
There is also a spirit known as Nebiros who helps one restore honor or regain a position that has been taken. His seal or signature used to draw him down along with instructions can be found in the Goetia or Lesser Key of Solomon. To invoke him, his seal must be carved into metal and worn or can be etched into parchment or wax and burned. Nebiros also responds well to a mixture of brick dust, patchouli, cinammon and mastic. This spirit would be summoned to reverse the damages that have been done to you.
If it's justice you seek, I recommend the Egyptian Goddess Maat as she weighs the souls of mortals and decides their fates. There is a wonderful seal with instructions for a ritual in Lady Rhea's book The Enchanted Candle. These candles can also be prepared by me and ordered through my website.

Chestnuts & Cloves remedy Global Economic Crisis
Dear Lexa Rosean,
I have read some of your books that where released here in Germany. A lot of your magical spells I am testing.
In one of your books you describe magic how to win a court case too.
I have to appear in court next month, because my ex boy friend steal a lot of money from me. He is a would-be lawyer and it seams that he will win the court case, because there are not any evidences that he has taken the money. Only what I have told the police is the reason, why we have to appear in court. I have given him money before too, because he informed me that he as problems and need money. He promises that he will give back the money as soon as possible. I never got the money back, that I have given him.
When I am going to court I need something that the public prosecutor and the jurist believe my version of the case. You wrote that I need therefore a chestnut. There is no chance to buy some chestnuts now in the supermarket, because first when it is fall, I can buy it here in Germany. Is there any chance to take something that has the same magic like a chestnut?
I am looking forward to hear from you.
Best wishes
Vinaceous
Dear Vinaceous
There is nothing that quite does the trick as well as chestnut so I would ask you to check if it is not possible to find canned chestnut stuffing in the market. If so, scoop some out on a spoon into a square of tinfoil. Fold up the tinfoil and gently carve a pentagram over the top of it and then carry in a pocket or purse when you go into the court room.
If this is not possible, you can use a mixture of rose, mint, and nutmeg. Can be oil or powdered dried herb/flower form. But with this, you would need to dust your hands and somehow touch your ex. (maybe you could shake his hand?) It forces liars to be exposed and/or come clean and ask for forgiveness. By touching him in the courtroom after you have dusted your hands with the potion, the prosecutor and jurist will be able to see through his lies. If you cannot touch him without raising suspicion or possible endangerment to yourself, then I recommend dusting a photo of him with the mixture on the night before your court date. You should also dust your hands with the powder in the morning before you go to court just in case you get an opportunity to safely touch him or even a chair that he will sit upon.
good luck and success in court.
blessings
Lexa
p.s. you should also chew 3 cloves and then spit them out while calling out his name and the amount of money he owes you. Repeat this 3 times. It is an old spell to collect debts.

Casting the Circle
Dear Mrs Rosean I read in a Book that it is correct to say Lord and Lady of the __insert Direction to Witness this Right and Guard this Circle do not know if that is correct can you answer?
Yes, this is more or less correct except usually we summon the elementals that correspond to each direction.
For example: "I do summon stir and call you forth O you mighty ones of the East- powers of Sweet Air, Sylphs, Winged Ones(add any other creatures associated with the East) that you might witness our rite and guard and protect our circle in the name of Lord and Lady" (here you can also add specific God/dess names that are the tradition of your coven or that connect with the type of ritual you intend to perform. Hope this helps.

Candle Spells and How they Work
HI,
DOES YOUR SPELL CANDLE MANIFEST QUICK FULL RESULTS? ARE ALL UR SPELLWORK DONE BY CANDLE ONLY? THANK U.....JOHN
Hi John
Each case is different concerning how long the spell will take to work. It depends on what you want and how clear your path is on the way to getting it. There are however traditional ingredients that can be added to any spell for fast results. (cinnamon is a favorite for speed). For the most part, you should feel some type of effect within a full lunar cycle (28 days), sometimes sooner. If no progress on your objective is made within that time period, it means you need a spiritual reading to analyze why it's not working. Perhaps you have approached the work incorrectly. Working spells without a diagnostic is basically the same as taking meds without getting a physical from a Doctor. There are also many different types of spells just as there are for example many different types of antibiotics. You have to find the one that you respond to best for good results. In addition, the answer to your question will depend on the nature of the spell. If what you want is a long term goal, do not expect it to work overnight. Generally these spells are more effective when done in phases. For example, if you need to lose over 75 pounds, you would do best to break that down to 3 candles asking for 25 pounds each. Don't expect to light one candle and wake up in the morning 75 pounds thinner. This is not how it works. Candle spells are a spiritual tool to guide you through real life work and action. They are most effective when worked with in this way. Finally, spells are like prayers. Some are answered. Some or not. Bottom line, this lies in the wisdom of God and Goddess.
In terms of my services, I offer candle spells and spell consults. A spell consult means an assessment of your situation and a personalized spell designed for you either with candle work or other methods. It does not mean however that I perform the spell for you.

DOES YOUR SPELL CANDLE MANIFEST QUICK FULL RESULTS? ARE ALL UR SPELLWORK DONE BY CANDLE ONLY? THANK U.....JOHN
Hi John
Each case is different concerning how long the spell will take to work. It depends on what you want and how clear your path is on the way to getting it. There are however traditional ingredients that can be added to any spell for fast results. (cinnamon is a favorite for speed). For the most part, you should feel some type of effect within a full lunar cycle (28 days), sometimes sooner. If no progress on your objective is made within that time period, it means you need a spiritual reading to analyze why it's not working. Perhaps you have approached the work incorrectly. Working spells without a diagnostic is basically the same as taking meds without getting a physical from a Doctor. There are also many different types of spells just as there are for example many different types of antibiotics. You have to find the one that you respond to best for good results. In addition, the answer to your question will depend on the nature of the spell. If what you want is a long term goal, do not expect it to work overnight. Generally these spells are more effective when done in phases. For example, if you need to lose over 75 pounds, you would do best to break that down to 3 candles asking for 25 pounds each. Don't expect to light one candle and wake up in the morning 75 pounds thinner. This is not how it works. Candle spells are a spiritual tool to guide you through real life work and action. They are most effective when worked with in this way. Finally, spells are like prayers. Some are answered. Some or not. Bottom line, this lies in the wisdom of God and Goddess.

God Ganesh
If you are having career or financial difficulties during these hard times, I can not stress the importance of having a representation of the God Ganesh in your household. If you are interested in hinduism, yoga, eastern philosophies, or of Indian descent, you are probably familiar with Ganesh. If not, you should be. He is the Lord of Removing Obstacles and often turned to spirituallly for financial aid. He has many aspects so you'll want to do some research before choosing your Ganesh Statue. Ganesh Mall has a wide and diverse assortment of Ganesh statues and products so it's a great place to shop for all your Ganesh needs. Along with statues of Ganesh in many different poses and atop a lotus (spiritual) in a tusk (for power), they offer wall hangings, books, jewelry, and my personal favorite - a Ganesh messenger bag. (Ganesh is also the messenger god :-)The best selling items are the brass statues and these are the most traditional depictions of Ganesh and are traditionally displayed in the home or workplace and chanted over along with offerings and flowers being placed in front of the statues. The site also offers lots of information on Ganesh if you want to learn more about him.
It is also traditional to make a gift of Ganesh to a friend or loved one who is troubled in some way or needs help overcoming obstacles. Ganesh Mall provides a gift giving service that includes gift wrapping. Wow, another obstacle already overcome!
Om gam ganapataye namaha!
Power of the Pentacle
What effect does drawing the Pentacle in the air with the Athame or hand have on the magick you do?
-Raymond
Dear Raymond
the drawing of the Pentacle is one of the most powerful aspects of the Witche's rites and part of drawing the circle to create sacred space. By drawing the Pentacle in the air with Athame or middle and pointer finger of right hand, you are invoking the God, Goddess, and Elemental forces to protect, empower, and witness your rite. The effect - providing the Divine Elements approve of your magick - would be to get a Spiritual Seal of Approval upon your work.
Good luck and good magick

OKRAnomic Magick
Dear Mrs Lexa Rosean,
Does Okra due to its green color have any known Magickal attributes?
-Daniel B
Thanks for the great question. Okra is a wonderful food & unfortunately an
oversite not to include in my book The Encyclopedia of Magickal Ingredients.
You are correct in calling attention to the green color of Okra. Many green colored foods (including Okra) can be worked with to draw fertility/prosperity. Seeded plants (such as grapes) are also used in money rituals and Okra contains white seeds which makes it especially good for cleansing and removing financial obstacles. Okra is one of the main staples of "soul food" and was also known as slave food. Unfortunately we are all (rich and poor), slaves to the current global economic problems and all of us could use a good infusion of Okra into our diets.
Finally, as I mentioned, the amazing Okra also has some special "tantric" properties. Eat pickled okra to last longer in bed. Cook okra with stewed tomatoes on a full moon and feed to a lover to keep him/her faithful and to give a "sticktuitiveness" to the relationship. It can also be eaten after a miscarriage to insure that the next pregnancy will stick and the woman will safely carry to full term. In this case, the okra should be sliced so the seeds are exposed, lightly sauteed with olive oil or butter and sea salt and shared by the couple on a new moon.
Hail & Blessings to the Okra - a gift of Mother Earth infused with Magickal attributes!

The fruit (vegetable) is also phallic shaped and that makes it a prime ingredient for sex magick. But perhaps the most magickal quality of "Gumbo" or Okra is it's texture. The uniquely sticky gooey characteristic that often turns folks off from eating it is exactly the reason why Okra yields such powerful spiritual benefits. Cook Okra in seafood gumbo for comfort, protection, and sustenance during hard times (regardless of the lunar cycle). It acts as a thickening agent on the spiritual level just as it does on the physical plane and will help to stretch whatever resources you have to cover your expenses until better times come along. It is good for getting jobs, money & financial opportunities to stick to you! Eat it on a new moon (and during waxing moon cycles) when looking for work or when you are freelancing and want to get return clients or referrals.
Okra is a member of the cotton family and has strong communication vibrations. Eat on Wednesday to help bring business from advertising. The cottons also ward off poverty, so eat anytime you feel in financial danger or hang and dry Okra flowers or fruit over the hearth to protect from financial disaster.Finally, as I mentioned, the amazing Okra also has some special "tantric" properties.

Check in with your Psychic!

November 23, 2008
Love, Jobs & 401(k)s
ON a good day last summer, Thomas Taccetta, a stock trader, might have checked his financial charts before plotting the day’s investments. Today he is likely to check in with his psychic as well. “I’ll play the broadest index, the S.&P. 500,” Mr. Taccetta said, “and if she tells me she is getting a negative view, I will sell.”
Since September, when the Dow collapsed, Mr. Taccetta, who trades for his own portfolio in Boca Raton, Fla., has talked with his psychic about once a month, roughly twice as often as a year ago. “There is no rhyme or reason to the way the market is trading,” he said. “When conditions are this volatile, consulting a psychic can be as good a strategy as any other.”
In an era when even Henry M. Paulson Jr., the Treasury secretary, changes his mind weekly about how to rescue the United States economy, Mr. Taccetta’s decision to seek the advice of a psychic may not seem all that irrational. With Washington flinging pieces of the $700 billion bailout package around, dithering about whom to rescue — homeowners? automakers? cousin Fred? — a good set of tarot cards might come in handy.
“Your mortgage agents, your realtors, your bankers, you can’t go to these people anymore,” said Tori Hartman, a psychic in Los Angeles. “They’re just reading a script — at least that’s how my clients feel. People are sensing that the traditional avenues have not worked, that all of a sudden this so-called security that they’ve built up isn’t there anymore. They come to a psychic for a different perspective.”
Psychics say their business is robust, as do astrologers and people who channel spirits, read palms and otherwise predict the future (albeit not the winning lottery numbers). Their clients, who include a growing number of men, are often professional advice-givers themselves, in fields like real estate and investments, and they typically hand over anywhere from $75 to $1,000 an hour for this form of insight.
“My Web traffic is up and up and up,” said Aurora Tower, a New Yorker who constructs spidery star charts for her growing clientele. “People will entertain the irrational when what they consider rational collapses.”
Quackery? Whatever. But after all, the nation’s supposed experts on the economy, from pundits on the networks to billionaire investment bankers, have not been exactly reliable. And spiritual readings, as they are known, appear to be one of the few growth sectors in a contracting economy.
“My phone is ringing off the hook,” said Roxanne Usleman, a psychic in Manhattan.
Ms. Usleman, who says she channels angels to advise her clients on interpersonal and financial matters, reported both a spike in traffic on her Web site and a significant surge in private consultations. She used to see comfortably 15 to 20 clients a week, she said. Now she meets with more than twice that number. “I’m having trouble squeezing in appointments,” she said.
Dawn Carr, a psychic in Boston, said her holiday bookings jumped as much as 70 percent this year over last, fueled in part by corporate bookings for holiday parties. “These people are looking for someone not just to entertain them, but to enlighten them,” she said.
Although most of us would settle for just enough telepathy to read our spouse’s mind, some people crave more.
“When you don’t know what to expect of a job interview or a business partnership,” said Gita V. Johar, a professor of at the Columbia University Business School, “that is when you’re most likely to turn to a psychic.”
Professor Johar, whose specialty is studying the effects of superstition on consumer behavior, suggested that when your portfolio is shrinking or your business is tanking, talking to a soothsayer may be “one way of feeling in control.” She needed no crystal ball herself to predict that “given the uncertainty of the economy, psychics are going to see an increase in business.”
The steep prices charged by practitioners of divination do not seem to have deterred many of the financially fretful. Ms. Hartman, the Los Angeles psychic, said her Internet traffic has picked up substantially, from about 30 visitors a day to more than 200. She charges from $150 for a 30-minute telephone reading to $500 for 90 minutes of “intuitive counseling.” In what is perhaps a sign of the times, the $70 moss-scented prosperity candle offered on her Web site has become her best seller, she said.
Many more men have joined the ranks of seekers. “In the old days men would turn to their wives and ask, ‘What did that goofball say, honey?’ ” said Michael Lutins, a New York writer and astrologer. “Now they are raising their heads, interested in matters that were once considered women’s stuff.” Mr. Lutin has lectured about astrology at such male-dominated institutions as the Harvard Business School Club of New York.
Ms. Usleman said that her once predominantly female clientele has also expanded. Men — among them lawyers, doctors, chief executives and insurance brokers — now make up about 50 percent of her business. They approach her, she said, with highly targeted questions, as if they were grilling an investment counselor. “Before agreeing to a reading, they will ask: ‘What is your accuracy rate? Can you guarantee your readings? How do you get your information and can I depend on it?’ ”
Aside from storefront readers, psychics rarely hang out a shingle, making their earnings hard to track. But one person who has attempted to quantify the rising popularity of psychics is Robert LoCasio, the chief executive of LivePerson.com, a site offering telephone consultations with experts in fields from finance to fly fishing.
When he bought his company a year ago, Mr. LoCasio checked the Consumer Sentiment Index, which is published by the University of Michigan and charts consumer confidence, from 2005 through September of this year. He then compared the data with records from his own company, and drew the conclusion that when the economy is down, consultations with psychics spike noticeably.
Live Person earned revenues of $30 million this year, about 70 percent derived from spiritual readers, Mr. LoCasio said. “In this day and age, a spiritual guide is an everyday therapist — that’s what the business has become,” he said.
In more ordinary economic cycles, psychics tend to offer guidance on romance and relationships. These days, they are besieged with questions about whether a pink slip is in the cards, whether a condo will sell, or whether a company will continue to prosper.
Alicia Bowling, who runs a sports bar in Manhattan, consulted a psychic when friction with a business partner seemed about to imperil her livelihood. “I used to go to my psychic about twice a year, but in the past year, yikes, I may have talked to her a dozen times,” said Ms. Bowling, 49. “I used to ask more about love, or will I ever be married, but with all these hard times, I wonder, ‘What’s going to happen to my bar and will I survive?’ ”
Sergei Pamukh, a New York stock trader, considers himself a skeptic about supernatural matters, but softened his stance after consulting Ms. Usleman, the Manhattan psychic. When his business was flailing earlier this fall, she suggested that he travel to Moscow to meet with a billionaire mogul. “In two or three weeks I am going,” he said.
Ms. Usleman said she typically fields questions these days like, “Should I go back and live with my parents?” and “Is it O.K. to take my children out of private school?” In the past, she added, “they would ask, ‘Should I have a baby?’ But now they have put that on hold.
“Basically, what people want to know in a troubled economy,” she said, “is what can they do to reinvent themselves.”
Fahrusha, a Madame Blavatsky from Manhattan, said that clients have been pressing her with highly focused queries. “They might want to know about investing in a particular security, or ask how the euro will fare against the dollar,” she said. In flusher times, they might have consulted a financial expert, she said, “but some of these people are experts themselves.”
Maria Napoli, a Manhattan astrologer whose clientele includes a growing circle of the rich and famous in the worlds of fashion, art and finance, observed that many of her clients were fretting about a global picture, not just their careers. “They are asking: ‘Where are we headed as a country? Are we entering a depression?’ I get a lot of Republicans wondering where their party is going.”
Mostly they are after a little peace of mind.
“It pays to cover all your bets,” said Stuart McFaul, who runs a marketing and public relations company in San Francisco.
Mr. McFaul checks in with his psychic when he is stumped for answers about where his business, and his competition, might be headed. “I’m a big believer that you really don’t dismiss any opinion,” he said.
Ms. Bowling, the bar owner, is grateful for the slightest shred of insight. “In times that are this nerve-racking, all it takes is one word that kind of helps you get through your day,” she said.
