When people receive a Djinn divination and are given prescriptions to follow, the focus tends to be on the spiritual work involved. However, many overlook the intricate layers and physical elements that go into executing these prescriptions, mainly when they include ritual offerings or sacrifices. The cost of a prescription is not just about the spiritual efforts but also about the many tangible components involved. These components are vital in ensuring the rituals are carried out effectively and aligned with cultural traditions.

Here are some of the critical elements that contribute to the cost of a prescription that many might not think about:

Sacrificial Offerings and Feasts

When a prescription includes a sacrifice, such as offering a goat, chicken, sheep, or cow, it is more than just a symbolic act. In most traditions, this offering is followed by a feast in your honor, where the animal is prepared and shared within the community. This is an act of spiritual significance and a way of feeding and supporting those who partake in the ritual.

The feast usually includes various ingredients that must be purchased, such as:

  • Rice
  • Yam
  • Vegetables (like tomatoes, onions, peppers)
  • Cooking oil
  • Spices
  • Drinks (like palm wine or other locally significant beverages)

These elements are not just about the physical act of eating but carry a deep spiritual significance. When the community partakes in the feast, it amplifies the power of the ritual and solidifies the bond between you, the spiritual world, and those offering their service on your behalf. The feast’s communal aspect extends the prescription’s energy and ensures that the ritual’s benefits ripple through multiple layers of existence, fostering a sense of community and spiritual connection.

Gathering Sacred Materials

Some prescriptions require rare or sacred items that are not easily accessible. These materials must be procured from specific locations, sometimes involving long journeys or negotiations with traders or local suppliers. For example, Vulture eggs, particular stones, herbs, or talismans may be needed to complete a ritual. These items are not randomly selected but carry deep spiritual significance, and acquiring them takes time, effort, and financial investment.

Compensating the Acolytes and Elders

In many cases, multiple people are involved in executing a prescription. The diviner (such as Mustapha) works with a team of acolytes and elders who assist in the rituals. These individuals are often responsible for handling specific rituals, such as preparing the space, assisting with sacrifices, or invoking the proper spiritual energies.

As part of the cultural tradition, these individuals must be compensated for their time and effort. Their roles are essential in ensuring the prescription is conducted in a sacred, respectful manner. The financial offering to these helpers is a way to show appreciation and honor for their contribution to your spiritual journey.

Preparation of the Ritual Space

Preparing the space where the ritual will occur is another critical aspect of the process. This can involve:

  • Cleansing the area with specific herbs or spiritual water.
  • Decorating the space with symbols or sacred items.
  • Arranging altars or offerings in a particular way to invite the proper spiritual forces.

This preparation is essential to creating the right environment for the prescription to work. It ensures that the space is conducive to spiritual communication and that the energy is aligned for the ritual’s success. All of this requires time, effort, and resources, which are factored into the overall cost of the prescription.

Ongoing Monitoring and Adjustments

Once a prescription is performed, it doesn’t end there. The diviner and their team will continue to monitor the progress of the ritual over the next 30, 60, or 90 days. This ongoing commitment ensures that the prescription is successful and that any obstacles are addressed as they arise, providing you with reassurance and confidence in the process.

This type of follow-up requires commitment, time, and additional rituals or offerings to maintain the spiritual work that was started. Extended care and attention contribute to the overall cost but are crucial to ensuring the desired outcomes.

Transportation and Logistics

Logistical challenges may need to be overcome depending on where the ritual is conducted. For example, transporting materials, gathering participants, or moving from one sacred site to another requires time, energy, and money. These logistical aspects are crucial for the smooth execution of a prescription and must be considered in the overall cost.

Supporting the Community

In many traditional settings, part of the ritual involves giving back to the community. The feast mentioned earlier is just one example. In some cases, additional offerings such as rice, vegetables, or drinks are distributed to families or individuals in need. This act of generosity is not just a side note but an integral part of the spiritual prescription. It enhances the power of the ritual and fosters a sense of shared purpose and belonging within the community.

Giving back to the community this way is a sacred act that amplifies the positive energy surrounding the prescription. Feeding and supporting others creates a ripple effect of abundance and gratitude, strengthening the spiritual outcomes you seek.

Time, Energy, and Spiritual Alignment

Finally, it’s essential to understand that the spiritual alignment necessary for a prescription takes time and energy. The diviner and their team are not simply performing a task—aligning with the spiritual realm, receiving guidance, and ensuring that spiritual laws perform the ritual. This takes focus, intention, and a deep understanding of the spiritual forces at work.

When considering the cost of your prescription, it’s essential to look beyond the surface level and understand what is involved. Each step is critical to the ritual’s success, from the sacrificial offering and the accompanying feast to the sacred materials and ongoing monitoring. The financial investment reflects the physical components and the time, energy, and spiritual alignment required to perform these holy acts on your behalf.

By understanding the true nature of what’s involved, you can appreciate the profound work in your name and the layers of support that come with it.
