Can a Love Ritual Work From Another Country?

By Guide Bodou · Traditional African spiritual healer · 27 years of practice

This is one of the first things people ask me. They have found me, they feel ready to speak, and then they hesitate, because they are not in London. They are in Dubai, in Toronto, in Lagos, in a small town somewhere far from me. They want to know, honestly, whether the work can still reach them. The answer is yes. Let me explain why.

The question almost everyone asks

“Guide Bodou, I am not in your country, can you still help me?” I hear this almost every day. It is a fair question, and I am glad when people ask it, because it means they are thinking seriously and not simply hoping. Most of the people who come to me live far away. Some I have never met face to face. That has never been a barrier to the work, and it is not one now.

Why distance changes nothing

Here is the thing many people do not realise. A love ritual does not act on the room you are standing in, or on the city where you sleep. It acts on the bond between two people, the invisible thread that still ties you to the person you are thinking of. That thread does not care about borders or flight times. Whether the two of you are in the same street or on opposite sides of the earth, the connection is the same connection. I work on that, not on your postcode.

Distance is a thing of the body. The bond between two hearts is not a thing of the body, so distance has no say over it.

I have written more fully about this in a love ritual from a distance, and if the person you love is the one who has moved away, you may also want to read when someone you love has moved far away.

How it is done remotely

In practice it is simple, and it has not changed much in twenty-seven years. You tell me the story, what happened, who the person is, how things stand today. You give me a name. From there I carry out the work myself, in my own way, as I would for anyone sitting in front of me. We stay in contact by phone or WhatsApp throughout, so you are never left wondering what is happening. You do not send me anything strange or complicated. You send me the truth, and your patience.

• You tell me the story, in your own words, and give me the name of the person concerned.
• I look honestly at the situation and tell you whether it is something I can work with.
• If it is, I carry out the work, you do not need to be present for it.
• We stay in touch by phone or WhatsApp so you know where things stand.

What I need from you

Less than people expect. I do not need you to travel, and I do not need a long list of objects. I need honesty about what happened, even the parts that are not flattering, because I cannot work well with half a story. I need the name of the person. And I need a little patience, because real work takes the time it takes. What I will always give you in return is the truth. If I look at your situation and feel I cannot genuinely help, I will tell you so plainly. Distance does not change that honesty, and neither does anything else. Results vary from one situation to another, and I never promise what I cannot know.

You do not need to travel

I say this clearly because so many people worry about it. You do not need to come to London. You do not need to book a flight or take time off work to sit in a room with me. The great majority of the people I work with never do, they speak to me from their own home, in their own country, and we go from there. If one day you are nearby and wish to meet, you are welcome. But it is not a condition of anything. The work can begin from exactly where you are, today. When you are ready to understand how I approach matters of the heart, read how I work with love.
