My journey

From the sacred forests of southern Benin to the consultations that reach me today from all over the world: my heritage, my training and the recognitions received within the tradition.

Heir to a line of diviners, traditional hunters and healers, I grew up in a region where knowledge is not learned from books: it is handed down, tested and earned.

Origins and training

Plantes médicinales et poteries d'un marché traditionnel

Born in the 1980s in southern Benin, I come from a region historically rooted in the esoteric traditions of the former Kingdom of Dahomey, such as Ouidah and Abomey.

I come from a great family line of diviners - the priests of Fa -, of traditional hunters and ancestral healers.

From the age of 7, I showed spiritual predispositions: premonitory dreams, a sensitivity to plants. Very early on, I was initiated into Vodoun practices and into the mastery of the plants that restore health. I quickly earned a reputation for clarity of mind and wisdom.

The sacred forest

Placed under the guidance of the elders and the heads of the convents, I spent long years of seclusion in the sacred forest. There I learned the mastery of medicinal plants, the art of geomancy - the Fa -, the rituals of protection and the invocations of the deities of the unseen.

A reputation that crosses borders

After proving myself locally, my reputation crossed borders through word of mouth and, more recently, with the arrival of the Internet.

Thousands of people now consult me from France, Belgium, the French West Indies and sub-Saharan Africa, for a wide range of needs.

Matters of the heart

Rituals to bring back affection and to harmonise couples.

Professional success

Rituals to attract prosperity and luck, and to unblock the careers of politicians and business people.

Removing spells

Protection against negative energies, witchcraft and evil spells.

Traditional medicine

Care through barks, roots and ancestral esoteric rituals.

In the service of the community

Recognised for the accuracy of my readings, I am called to sit among the priests and hounnon recognised by certifications in the Republic of Benin.

Every day I receive people to settle family disputes, support difficulties of the heart, encourage professional success, remove spells, treat illnesses and guide individual destinies.
