F.A.Q.

—

Do you currently take Craft commissions?

Yes, I do.

What services do you offer?

I offer Divination, custom Sigilry, custom Craft Implements, and a variety of Spellwork (including everything from maleficia to curse-breaking.) How do I go about purchasing your services?

Simply visit my webshop, Wending Wares, and follow the prompts on the site. If you have any issues accessing or using the website, feel free to message me through tumblr, and I will do my best to assist you.

What modalities of divination do you practice?

The methodologies I am currently utilizing in paid readings include: • Card Reading (Tarot, Lenormand, Classical Cartomancy, and a few unique Oracle Card approaches,) • Scrying (generally in the form of Inductive Lecanomamcy,) • or a Combination of the two, synthesized into a single reading.

I read using a few other methods as well, but for personal reasons, I am not currently offering those modalities for online commissions. What is the pricing for a divinatory reading?

• For a basic Card Spread, the price is $49. • For an in-depth Card Spread, the price is $65. • For a stand-alone Scrying, the price is $85. • For a combined Scrying + in-depth Card Spread, where I inquire with both and synthesize one reading out of it, the price is $115. What’s the difference between a basic and an in-depth card spread?

It is simply a way to account for the different amounts of time and effort that go into a given reading. For example; in a ‘basic’ spread, I pull five cards, while I pull nine cards for an ‘in-depth’ spread. All spreads used were personally devised over years of mantic experience. Do you have a PayPal or Venmo?

Yes, I have both. My PayPal email is [email protected],and my Venmo name is @Hale-Lucien.

What sorts of custom implements do you take commissions for?

• I will gladly try and make most customized Craft implements that someone comes to me with—so if you’re curious about whether or not I can make something that you’re interested in, please feel free to message me with any questions. • Examples of implements I’ve been commissioned for before include, but are not limited to, Devotional Beads, Craft Staves, Amulets, Spirit Houses, and Windroarers. What is the pricing for implements?

This depends entirely upon the nature of the implement in question. It comes down to time, effort, and cost of materials.

What is the pricing for spellwork?

Again, this depends entirely upon the nature of the spellwork in question. The more complex, intensive, and dangerous a cantrip is, however, the more it will cost. Do you take payment installments?

Absolutely. Simply explain your situation to me, and I will always do my best to work with a client to find a solution. Do you have any restrictions?

• You must be 18 years old, or older, to purchase my services and/or wares. • I will gladly aid those who come to me with medical issues however I can—both physiological and psychological—but only if the prospective client has already seen/is already seeing a qualified medical expert as well. • I will not use magic to coerce sexual relationships. • I will not use dangerous magic against people for petty/insufficient reasons (ie ‘Will you destroy this person’s life because he dumped me?) Is it okay to write a review?

Sure! You’re welcome to either post one, or to send one to me so that I can post it. I will happily share reviews anonymously, if that is of importance to the reviewer. (Public testimonials regarding the services I offer can be found here: X)

What is a Faerie Physicker?

A person initiated into the role of an Intercessor between our realm and the Otherworld, as well as its denizens; a Fairy Doctor.

What is a Wisefool?

It is essentially a term for an adherent of the Craft I practice—the Wending Way.

Can I initiate into the Wending Way?

At this time, no.

"Lailoken provided me with the best reading I've ever received, hands down! It was a wonderful (and a little spooky if I'm being honest) experience to have such a kind and friendly stranger offer up so much meaningful and helpful information on a subject I told him so very little about! Not only was the info provided very useful but it was also very emotionally affirming for me.

I highly suggest Lailoken as a divination consultant!"

I am proud (and nervous) to finally present my long-coming webshop, Wending Wares!

I will be booking divination whenever possible through this website from now on, as well as using it to sell an array of occult goods, ranging from pagan prayer beads and wood staves, to charms and incense blends. I will do my best to highlight some of the specific offerings through other posts!

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any issue with the website, or want to bring anything else to my attention! And thank you to all of my lovely clients, who help me to spend my life helping others fulltime. ♡

[thats-howthelightgets-in]

I cannot recommend Lailoken and their services highly enough. I've comissioned a rosary and a bullroarer from them: both pieces were of excellent quality and have been invaluable to my practice. Their gifts as a Seer are unparalleled-- I know many practitioners who have petitioned Lai for their skills, and all have come away satisfied and somewhat awed, myself included. You definitely get your money's worth.

I cannot recommend Lailoken enough, and I’m delighted to see the new shop. I’m the proud owner of both a custom rosary and a pre-made staff that they created, and a lot of my peers have had great experiences with their divination services.

I covet those cantrip powders...

Recently I had a very successful reading with @lailoken who wanted me to write a testimonial on how it went - this was the first reading I had with them and it was a very positive experience.

I had them do the scrying on the legitimacy of a spirit I was working with, which was difficult because it really doesn't want to be seen but they were able to get answers to the point that the exact image that the spirit showed me the night before appeared to them during the scrying session (blew my mind!) The worker was very skilled and gave me an honest view of the situation where I was very disoriented trying to sort it out myself, nothing was sugarcoated and the reading was very detailed - they laid out every image and explained its significance and then told me the conclusion they drew from it.

They were also very compassionate! All around nice person, great to talk to, very talented at what they do. Thank you so much for the reading!

"As someone who has never really paid for anything esoteric before, I was hesitant at first to hire Lailoken, but thank goodness I did! After rave reviews from another client of his (my wife,) I decided to take the plunge and hire him to help me with a work issue.

I was having a hard time with two new managerial executives that were brought into my work from out of state, who were becoming progressively more abusive towards me and other staff members. It was getting the point where I was really considering quitting, despite the financial insecurity it would cause, which is when my wife finally convinced me to seek help from Lailoken.

After explaining the process some and working out payment with me, he eventually did two different rituals that were meant to stop these managers' abusive behavior towards me, that were each tailored to their individual personalities. Let me tell you, I could hardly believe it when, literally days after the spells were done, my managers began to leave me alone; the less cruel of the two even seemed to start liking me from then on! They have continued to leave me be since then, and I couldn't be more grateful.

I can definitely say that I am a believer, and that I will be back for help in the future!"

"This is a testimonial about Lailoken’s services, because they helped me overcome something very difficult and dangerous that was making my life impossible. Without them, I would still be wading through this slump. I can't say very much about what happened, but I can assure you that it was quite serious and harming me on a daily basis - for years.

So! I just want to say this, in case some people are still reluctant to contact them:

Not only did Lailoken draw upon great wisdom and experience in order to help me— they did not hesitate for a second to put themselves in danger for me in the process.

And yet, despite their skills and all the experience they have acquired, they remain humble, benevolent, and they weigh each of their words carefully—not allowing the power to go to their head. They also ALWAYS ensures that the person they’re working with feels valued and appreciated.

In short, I have a lot of respect for them, and I really value all of their posts and magical interventions. I am very glad that I came to them for help, and I sincerely believe that you should ALL do the same."

Testimonial for @lailoken

This is my second oracular request with this awesome reader. I requested the in depth reading as well as the scrying.

My question was a follow up on the first one and an inquiry about my current spiritual state, which I needed help about since things seemed so foggy and stagnant.

I was absolutely blown away when a goddess I've been thinking without understanding her importance showed up in scrying in clear images, without me mentioning her at all, meaning that my silly intuition wasn't so silly after all.

It pushed me to reconsider my practice entirely and sparked many questions that I am now eager to dive into.

There's no doubt that I'll be reading what they tokd me again and again because it is full of information that needs to be allowed to sink in.

I also want to point out that lailoken is really kind and empathetic and it feels like they genuinely want to help you on your path. I also appreciate being able to ask questions about this or that aspect of the reading to make sure I understood correctly.

Overall I will always go back to them for important matters and I highly recommend their services.

A Review

I have had readings from @lailoken numerous times for the past two years, and none of them has disappointed.

A reading from early 2021 ended up making more sense in 2022. This is understandable, as even during reading, Lai expressed that “there almost seemed so be some external resistance to my looking into the matter at hand”, which I now understood as how my spirits liked to keep certain matters relatively private, with the symbolism of that reading slowly unraveling overtime as my practice grew and the masks of my Witchfather peeled away to reveal something I could never have foreseen. Likewise, the latest reading from Lai in Jan 2022 ended up reinforcing much of the recent development in my practice, in ways that Lai had no ways of knowing beforehand.

Throughout all my readings, Lailoken has been very courteous and professional. The fact that since Lailoken is fairly removed from my personal social circle also means that they could treat every divination session without bias is also a huge point in their favour. Likewise, their professional behavior also extended to when I have commissioned ritual tools from them– tools that were created with care, that which I use in my practice to this day.

I wholeheartedly recommend Lailoken to anyone interested in their services.

This is a belated review for the wonderful and well-worth-the-money reading I got from @lailoken. They were recommended to me by @thegrapeandthefig and I'm so grateful. I've had some time to had it all sink in and see how accurate the reading had been; it has, above and beyond, and it's changed things for the better.

As someone who's always struggled with imposter syndrome and huge insecurities when it comes to confirming my patron deity, it was like a simultaneous breath of fresh air and Atlas-like weight that fell off my shoulders. To have them confirm Kirke, without any hints or mentions beforehand - to them take me through the entire process of scrying, the images, the spread, the cards - absolutely phenomenal.

I'll definitely be a repeat customer. My practice has deepened significantly and I've reached a level of peace I didn't think was possible. If you haven't booked a reading with them yet - do it!!! I cannot recommend them enough.

Testimonial for Lailoken

I was in dire need of answers regarding a spiritual matter when I stumbled upon a review of @lailoken divination services. The reviews were stellar and I decided to give it a shot. I’m glad to say that I was not disappointed ! 

I requested a scrying + tarot session and came with a specific problem I wanted to shed light on. Before the reading, they guided me through the whole process which I thought was pretty cool. 

First I need to say that they are an absolute gem of a human being, extremely kind and compassionate, I felt completely at ease to talk about my problem, they are a great listener and gave me time to ask my questions. I was a bit shocked by some of the things they told me and they were really supportive.  

The insights I received were detailed and blew my mind a little. They managed to answer my question precisely and I was so very relieved to finally have an answer. The tarot session was well built and brought me plenty of information and the visions were a great complement to the whole and even provided details that I hadn’t mentioned in my initial question. 

Overall, I highly recommend their services !

A testimonial!

as always, the wonderful services of @lailoken live up to their praise. Lailoken proves to be an incredibly skilled diviner, and their kindness and compassion always shines through. They spend a large amount of time going in depth on the details of the reading and the striking truth and reality of their work is always astonishing  I am deeply impressed with lailokens ability to communicate and work with people, as well as bring out really useful advice pertaining to the situation thank you Lailoken!!

[helheth]

A Testimonial!

If you have a burning question, please consider @lailoken's services. Lai is a truly gifted diviner in many different arts - I personally requested cartomancy and scrying, and both sessions provided detailed, valuable, and actionable insight. I'm grateful to know someone of such formidable skill.

❥ Scrying testimonial {Lailoken}

I gotta say that it’s interesting when a diviner gets a dream about your spirit relationships & slides in your DMs before you can slide in theirs! My friends have long talked about their amazing sessions with @lailoken and encouraged me to book one for quite some time, but I told myself that I’ll wait until I get a ‘green light’ before doing so. Thing is, I didn’t get the green light but Lailoken did. This gave me pretty high expectations for the reading, since the spirits themselves more or less pushed us together, but I gotta say that Lai managed to succeed my expectations. 

Lailoken describes each vision in detail before going into the possible symbolism and meaning behind the the reading. I find that this is a good way to go about it, since it gives the client a chance to personally interpret the visions themselves. Lai also strikes me as very invested in their work and eager to help others; even after my session was done they took time to research and do additional digging in order to solve my ‘spirit mystery.’ I find that this doesn’t only show of good character, but also proves that their main motivation isn’t to make a good buck. They are simply invested in helping others on their paths and that’s what makes a great diviner. Lailoken was definitely my money’s worth and I’ll be back for more of their services in the future. ♡

“Testimonial: I recently approached Lailoken for a scrying session for an issue regarding a spirit I needed discernment on. After not only hearing various accolades of her ability but from the suggestion of a friend who also purchased a scrying, I took a chance and was immediately blown away. I didn’t give any details outside of what I needed a reading on and I was impressed that taglocks my spirits provided (that only I would have known) clearly indicated the diviner was the real deal and not a fraud. Highly recommend lailoken!”

a brief, very belated testimonial

(i wrote this once but tumblr ate it, thus making it even more belated)

it’s been about a month now since i first contacted @lailoken about their mantic services. their work was absolutely spectacular on every level: their professionalism, their kindness and helpfulness, and most importantly their skill as a seer. when @lailoken scried for me, what they saw was vivid, direct, and almost unsettlingly personal and specific. the subject matter of the reading ended up getting into some pretty heavy, sensitive stuff, and i could not ask for a more empathetic and insightful diviner to walk me through it than @lailoken.

the information i gained through the reading has only unfolded more and more in the past weeks, and have helped provide a depth, context and direction to my personal magical landscape that has been invaluable even just in these few weeks. i like to occasionally revisit old major divinations in my practice, to reread them with different eyes and the benefit of hindsight, and see what new things i learn – when i revisit @lailoken‘s work and our ensuing conversation a year from our reading, what new insights and secrets will i be able to spot there?

in short, @lailoken is incredibly good at what they do, and they were wonderful to work with. i highly highly highly recommend their services.

Review

Around mid-April, I had @lailoken perform some divination for me to help interpret certain signs and issues I have been facing. I requested their assistance through tarot and trance work, and although the results did not make immediate sense, it had confirmed that I am on the right track. Later, I was able to match the symbols that came up in the readings with a revelation I ended up having.

I am unable to go into too much detail about the content of the readings, but let’s just say that Lailoken is a lovely diviner who is both professional and incredibly kind.

As a repeat customer of @lailoken, I wholeheartedly recommend their services 🖤🌹
