Sheloya at her altar
Community Announcements:
June is just around the corner, and with it comes the chain of summer and early fall Orisha festivals/ebo. We will be having an ebo for Eshu in June, Shango in July, Oshun and Aje Shaluga in August, Ogun in September, and Oya in October. So if you would like to add your concerns to the community altar for free or to sponsor part of any of the ebo, please contact me. These are community ebo, so if you like, your case can be handled by multiple sorcerers, witches, and wizards working together from a variety of backgrounds including Vodun, Wicca, LaVeyan mystical psychology, Hermetic, Khemetic, Nordic, and Slavic.
There is now a free online Vodun calendar to help you keep track of the days of the week and Vodun and diaspora holidays. You can subscribe to it using iCal or Google Calendar. Click here!
About Sheloya
I am Sister Reverend Nicole Lasher D.M. but my online nickname is Sheloya. You may already know of me from my community activity or the Orisha Online Altar, or my online store at SoulMindBody.net. I live in Haifa, Israel, but I was born in the U.S.
I draw from an eclectic mix of African, Native American, European, and Asian faiths, but I consider my spiritual home to be Vodun. Though some would call me a Vodun priestess, I am not in the hereditary line of Mami Wata priests, that I know of. I am of mixed ancestry, and I believe that all of my ancestors deserve respect, not only the African ones.
I come from a long line of spiritually gifted people. Though we don’t all agree on the details, most of my family are ministers, healers, or spiritually deep laypersons. I respect them despite our differences. It is my hope that one day they will re embrace the wisdom of our ancestors.

So in the end, when it comes down to describing what I do, the closest term to it is Obeah. It’s seems like a spooky way of saying, “Whatever works.” (That little saying, I borrow from Papa Jim.) It is basically an ecclectic style of Vodun that draws from many sources both traditional and non traditional.
This does not mean that I will do anything for anybody who has the money. Quite the contrary, it is important that ethics be considered and readings be done before any root work or ceremony. I have in the past told people, “No I can’t do this for you because…” Sure, they can always go to someone else, but not me.
On the other hand, I am not all goodness and light. In order to survive, a creature must have some fight in them. I believe that those who do wrong should be punished or at least rendered incapable of doing further harm. Also, not everything is black and white. Sometimes, as Muslims would say, one has to do a small sin to avoid committing a greater sin. So don’t feel like you can’t tell me what’s really going on.
I am a licensed and active Universal Life Church minister, so whatever you tell me is confidential. I live in Israel where they take the rights of clergy very seriously.
People of all ethnicities are welcome, and I am happy to serve the Straight and GLBT communities. I am however, patently non feminist. I am an egalitarian gender realist. I believe that all genders are valuable, male, female, and androgyne, and should be equally accountable under the law. So yes, this is a man friendly site. Neither I nor anyone who assists me will be trying to twist you into becoming a slave to the current system of the divorce racket or “empowerment” that isn’t empowering anyone but lawyers’ bank accounts.
How to Request Readings, Root Work, and Ceremonies
I do readings with the Hoodoo Bones system that I developed to make it easier for you the seeker, to see what I’m seeing. I also do root work and ceremonies for a variety of purposes from bringing a loved one closer to healing to dealing with enemies. To make a request, simply use the contact form or email me at sister@soulmindbody.net
I do not use an automatic payment link for all rootwork or ceremonies that I offer because sometimes people want a sort of ceremony that is not the best for the situation, and because if the readings indicate that I should not do a work, I will not do it. So unless you are absolutely sure what you need and that you want me to do the entire ceremonial process, tell me your situation, and I can tell you what sort of ceremony or root work you will need, and if I am permitted to do it. Even if you pay me first, if the Spirits say no, I will refund your money minus only the cost of the reading ($100 for offerings to Eshu and Orunmila) and Paypal or wiring fees. Please read my ceremony and rootwork policy.
Also, sometimes a person may, in a panic, believe that they need big magic to solve a problem that can be taken care of with a simple amulet or a change of thought. If this is the case, I want to be able to say so before someone has dumped hundreds of dollars into my account that I’ll have to refund minus the fees.
I have a store, Sheloya Mystical, with many very inexpensive items if you’re on a low budget or just need the supplies and not the ceremony. In fact, here’s a free paper charm that should help any of you out there who are having financial problems:

This charm is made of prosperity symbols representing the love that Nature gives back to her children who work with her rather than against her. It has worked very well for those I’ve given it to, and I hope that it will work well for you too.
Blessings and Ase!
