Witch Doctor Shakir takes enquiries from anywhere in the world. Shakir is based in Kenya, is available at any time, day or night, usually replies within 30 minutes, and replies in many languages. Services can be done remotely or in person. International enquiries are subject to the laws and requirements that apply where you live, and service availability, payment options and product delivery may be restricted in certain countries.
This article explains how international requests work in practice, and what to check where you live.
Getting in touch from abroad
Call, send an SMS or send a WhatsApp message to +254714794142. Inside Kenya, the number is 0714794142. A WhatsApp message is often the cheapest option, as international calls and texts can cost more. Over Wi-Fi, WhatsApp also avoids most phone charges.
Shakir is on East Africa Time (UTC+3), but you can get in touch at any hour. You can write in your own language. The request form on the contact page can also put your details into a WhatsApp or SMS message for you, and the request guide lists the time difference for several countries.
Remote or in person
Services can be carried out remotely, from anywhere, or in person. Which one suits you is talked through during the consultation. Shakir travels, and can come to you in some cases, depending on how serious the situation is.
Before any service begins, Shakir explains the materials that will be used and any precautions. Timing depends on you and on the ritual, so it is agreed at the start. For a remote ritual, you stay where you are, and you are kept informed by phone or message.
Price, payment and currency
There is no fixed price list. The price is agreed after a short consultation about what you need, and the payment method is agreed at the same time. The price is all-inclusive, and nothing is added without your agreement. Make sure the agreed price, including the currency, is written in your messages, so there is no confusion later.
Your own bank or payment service may charge for international payments or currency conversion, so ask them about the total. Not every payment method works in every country. If you change your mind, the refunds and cancellations page explains what happens.
Rings, charms, delivery and customs
Before you order a ring or charm, you are given the actual item, its materials, its size and a photo. The delivery cost and timing are agreed before you pay.
When a parcel crosses a border, your country may charge import duty, tax or a handling fee, usually paid by the person receiving it. Customs may also stop items made from some plants, shells or animal products, or items linked to spiritual practices. See shipping and delivery, and our article on checking ring materials, sizing, shipping and returns.
Local laws and the Middle East
Laws about spiritual services and ritual items differ between countries. Service availability, payment options and product delivery may be restricted in certain countries, so please check the law where you live before you ask for anything. We cannot give legal advice.
This matters most in parts of the Middle East. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates treat sorcery or witchcraft as a crime, and customs may stop charms and ritual items. The Middle East page explains more, and our country pages cover practical details for the USA, the UK, Canada and Australia.
A short checklist
Before you send an international request:
- Check that the service or item is lawful where you live.
- Get in touch by phone, SMS or WhatsApp on +254714794142, and say which country you are in, so time, payment and any delivery can be planned.
- Agree the price, the payment method and the timing after the consultation.
- For items, check the delivery cost and timing, and any import charges in your country.
- Share only what you are comfortable sharing. Messages travel through WhatsApp or your phone network, as the privacy policy explains.
- Keep the messages where everything was agreed.
