SECTION 1: About SCG Witchery
What is SCG Witchery?
SCG Witchery is a professional occult and metaphysical practice based in Brossard, Quebec, Canada, operating under the registered business Charmes De Sorcellerie Du Québec (Quebec Enterprise Number: NEQ 2279950598). The practice offers ritual services, private consultations, tarot readings, scrying, spellwork, digital educational products, and spellcaster verification for clients worldwide.
Who is behind SCG Witchery?
The practice is founded and led by Bran Alder. Bran began studying the occult at age 14 and has over 30 years of occult study and hands-on experience, with professional public practice beginning in 2007 — now 19 years of professional service. A secondary practitioner, Rainie Coker, provides certified tarot readings through her affiliated brand Rain of Tarot.
Where are you located? Do you work internationally?
SCG Witchery operates from Brossard, Quebec, Canada. All services are delivered remotely and are available to clients worldwide.
Are your services religious or tied to a specific tradition?
No. The practice is rooted in occultism, witchcraft, ceremonial magic, and direct metaphysical work rather than any single organized religion. The system integrates Hellenistic, Hermetic, Coptic, and left-hand path frameworks, approached as a disciplined craft rather than a belief system.
What does “SCG Witchery” stand for?
SCG Witchery is a trade name for Charmes De Sorcellerie Du Québec — which translates from French as “Charms of Sorcery of Quebec.” Bran Alder operates under the registered pseudonym Bran Alder™, and the business also references the pseudonym Hoci Leahcimich™.
What is the Gnōsis Aei system?
Gnōsis Aei (Γνῶσις Αεί) is SCG Witchery’s proprietary occult framework — a structured approach to ritual magic that integrates philosophy, symbolic correspondence, ritual technique, and personal accountability. It is the conceptual foundation underlying the Gnosis tier services and the Gnosis AEI grimoire available in the digital shop.
Who is this practice for? Is it for everyone?
SCG Witchery is specifically for people who are ready to engage authentic occult work seriously. It is not a space designed for casual curiosity, spiritual aesthetics, or those seeking emotional reassurance. Clients must be honest, open to the process, and 18 years of age or older. The practice is direct, structured, and focused on results over performance.
What is the 9 Pillars of Orientation Wheel?
The 9 Pillars of Orientation Wheel is an original framework developed by Bran Alder that maps how a conscious agent moves from possibility to experience. It covers the full cycle: Potential → Orientation → Commitment → Manifestation → Expansion → Challenge → Stabilization → Dissolution → Integration → Return. The system is currently undergoing practitioner field testing and applications to participate are open via the site.

What is the difference between Praxis, Telos, and Gnosis?
These are the three tiers of spellwork:
- Praxis (Πρᾶξις): A single, focused rite based on a standard, proven framework with zero customization. Designed for clear, well-defined situations. Price: $175.
- Telos (Τέλος): Moderately customized ritual magic, strategically adapted to your unique situation, spiritual resistance, and conditions. Uses 100% naturally sourced materials. Includes 30 minutes of priority support. Designed for entrenched patterns and recurring blockages. Price: $450.
- Gnosis (Γνῶσις): A 100% bespoke ritual engineered from the ground up for your specific circumstances. Includes a complimentary scrying session or astrological birth chart analysis, proprietary custom-blended oils and incenses, and unlimited ongoing VIP support. Reserved for the most critical or deeply entangled situations. Price: $850.
Do I need to book a consultation before booking a spell?
The Private Occult Consultation is described as the “essential first step” and “mandatory diagnostic session” before ritual work is recommended. It allows Bran to assess your situation and determine which service tier — Praxis, Telos, or Gnosis — is appropriate for your case. While the booking system does allow direct service selection, completing the consultation first is strongly recommended to ensure the right approach is taken.
Do I need to complete an intake form before booking?
Yes. Before booking any spell or service, you are required to complete the Spell Service Client Intake Form, linked prominently on every service page. This provides essential situational information needed to prepare for your session
SECTION 3: Praxis Spells
What are Praxis Spells?
Praxis Spells are SCG Witchery’s entry-level paid ritual service. The name comes from the ancient Greek πρᾶξις, meaning purposeful action. Each working is a single, potent rite performed using a standard, proven framework — no customization — and established commercial materials. They are designed for clear, well-defined situations where a direct application of focused power is appropriate.
What types of Praxis Spells are available?
Praxis Spells cover a wide range of intentions including: Forgiveness, Spark of Desire, Binding, Drawing Your Ex Back, Love Attraction, Health and Prosperity, The Verdant Current of Mammon (wealth), Fortune and Protection, Money Magnet, Shielded Security, Fortunate Flow, and Business Momentum.
What does a Praxis Spell include?
Each Praxis Spell includes: altar setup, ritual performance (live or proxy), post-ritual guidance and energy work, a 28-day check-in, and 30-day results tracking. Client support is available via email with a 24–48 hour response time
Can Praxis Spells be done remotely?
Yes. All spell services are performed remotely via proxy work. Distance does not affect the working.
SECTION 4: Telos Spells
What are Telos Spells?
Telos Spells (Τέλος, meaning “end/purpose”) are the mid-tier ritual service at SCG Witchery. Unlike Praxis, Telos workings are moderately customized — strategically adapted to your unique objective, current conditions, and any spiritual resistance or interference present in your situation. They use 100% naturally sourced materials chosen for their energetic correspondences
What types of Telos Spells are available?
Telos Spells include: Obsession Spell, Wondrous Rite of Binding, Amber Charm (love drawing), Release and Resolve (blockage clearing), Ignite Passion, Constraint and Containment, Reconciliation Focus, Fortune and Protection, Abundance Architect, Strategic Aegis (comprehensive defense), Synchronicity Navigator, and Commercial Catalyst
Why does Telos use natural materials specifically?
Natural materials such as amber, herbs, and resins are used because of their established energetic correspondences in traditional occult practice. 100% natural sourcing ensures energetic integrity, which is said to amplify both the potency and long-term stability of results
What support is included with Telos?
Telos includes 30 minutes of dedicated priority support with a response time of under 24 hours. Additional blocks of priority support time are available for purchase if needed. Standard email support (24–48 hour response) continues after priority time is used
SECTION 5: Gnosis Spells
What are Gnosis Spells?
Gnosis Spells (Γνῶσις, meaning “knowledge”) are the premium, top-tier ritual service. Every Gnosis working is 100% bespoke — built from the ground up for your specific situation using SCG Witchery’s proprietary custom-blended oils and incenses. This tier uses Advanced Esoteric Invocation (AEI) methods and is reserved for the most critical, complex, or deeply entangled circumstances.
What is included with a Gnosis Spell?
Gnosis includes:
- A fully customized, bespoke ritual
- A complimentary scrying session or astrological birth chart analysis as the strategic foundation
- Proprietary custom-blended SCG Witchery oils and incenses
- Unlimited ongoing VIP support with status updates and alignment advice
- Approximately 5 hours of working time
What specific Gnosis Spell offerings are available?
Currently featured Gnosis services include:
- The Egyptian Love Curse — A coercive binding working rooted in the Greek Magical Papyri (PGM IV. 296–466), invoking Coptic and pharaonic tradition. Uses incantations, myrrh, and spirit summons. Price: $850.
- Turtle Dove, Love & Myrrh Incense Ritual — A devotion working invoking the turtle dove’s symbolism of lifelong fidelity combined with the traditional properties of myrrh. Price: $850.
- Handfasting Ceremony — A sacred Pagan rite of marriage. Cords, vows, and ritual oils are used. Ceremonies can be temporary (“a year and a day”) or permanent. Price: $850.
Is the Egyptian Love Curse safe for both parties?
The Egyptian Love Curse is explicitly a coercive working classified as a curse due to its binding and dominating nature. It is not a gentle attraction spell. Rooted in the Greek Magical Papyri (PGM IV. 296–466), it works through spiritual torment of the target until submission, invoking deities such as Isis or Anubis. The masculine and feminine roles can be reversed. This is a Gnosis-tier service and is handled case by case. Any concerns about the nature of this working should be raised during the Private Occult Consultation before booking.
SECTION 6: Tarot Readings
What can I expect from a tarot session?
Tarot sessions at SCG Witchery are conducted by Rainie Coker through her brand Rain of Tarot. Sessions use a 10-card spread focused on love, life direction, career, and spiritual guidance. Rainie has 30 years of experience in tarot and divination. The reading is direct, compassionate, and tailored to your situation — oriented toward clarity and informed decision-making rather than rigid prediction.
Who is Rainie Coker?
Rainie Coker is the certified tarot practitioner affiliated with SCG Witchery through her brand Rain of Tarot (rainoftarot.com). She has 30 years of experience in tarot and divination and completed the SCG Witchery Tarot Certification course, being certified as an authentic reader in 2025.
What does a tarot reading session include?
The session includes: time to read the 10-card spread, detailed card-by-card interpretation, and a personalized discussion of the overall results and projected outcome. The minimum session is 60 minutes at a rate of $2.83 per minute, totaling $175 for the standard 1-hour session.
Is Rain of Tarot a separate business from SCG Witchery?
Yes. Rain of Tarot (rainoftarot.com) is Rainie Coker’s own brand. Her tarot service is offered and bookable through the SCG Witchery platform, but SCG Witchery’s core services remain centered on Bran Alder’s proprietary ritual systems. The tarot offering was added to meet demand for high-level, verified cartomancy.
SECTION 7: Scrying & Divination
What is scrying and how is it different from tarot?
Scrying is the practice of gazing into a medium — such as a reflective water surface or a black mirror — to receive impressions, visions, or symbolic messages from the unseen. It is more fluid and visionary than tarot, which relies on a structured system of symbolic cards. Scrying is particularly suited to exploring deeper spiritual dynamics, hidden influences, and future probabilities.
What does a Scrying Divination session include?
The Scrying Divination session is a sensory-assisted clairvoyance working using the black mirror and/or water scrying. It provides symbolic insight into future probabilities, hidden influences, and personal crossroads. Duration: approximately 3 hours. Price: $190.
How is the standalone Scrying session different from the scrying included with Gnosis?
The standalone Scrying Divination service ($190) is a pure divination reading delivered as its own session. The scrying included complimentarily with Gnosis tier spellwork serves as the strategic diagnostic foundation for your bespoke ritual — it directly informs the design and targeting of the working rather than functioning as a standalone reading.
SECTION 8: Private Occult Consultation
What is the Private Occult Consultation?
The Private Occult Consultation is a 40-minute diagnostic session conducted personally by Bran Alder. It is designed to deconstruct the mechanics of your current situation — identifying core variables, energetic factors, and the most effective path forward. It is the required first step before any ritual work is recommended.
How much is the consultation?
$90.00 for a 40-minute session with Bran Alder.
What happens during a Private Occult Consultation?
During the session, Bran reviews your situation in depth, isolates the specific mechanics requiring intervention, and concludes with a customized structured plan — outlining which service tier (Praxis, Telos, or Gnosis) and which specific materials are appropriate for your objective. The session may also include divination and spiritual diagnostics.
Does the consultation guarantee I will be offered services afterward?
No. The consultation is an honest assessment. If ritual work is not appropriate for your situation, or if your case does not align with SCG Witchery’s ethical standards, that will be communicated directly during the session.
SECTION 9: Spellcaster Verification
What is the Spellcaster Verification service?
Spellcaster Verification is a professional review service that evaluates whether a practitioner claiming magical ability demonstrates credible knowledge, structured methods, and consistent practice. It helps seekers assess a spellcaster’s claims, presentation, and methodology before investing in their services. Price: $175 per hour.
Who is this service for?
This service is for: clients researching a practitioner before purchasing spellwork, individuals uncertain about a practitioner’s claims, seekers comparing multiple practitioners, and anyone wanting greater clarity before committing to spiritual services.
What does the Spellcaster Verification review examine?
Areas examined include: claimed magical methods and frameworks, ritual structure and logical coherence, clarity of explanations, realism of promises or guarantees, public messaging and presentation, and potential warning signs in language or claims. The goal is not to judge personality or aesthetics but to assess credibility through structure and consistency.
What does Spellcaster Verification NOT do?
It does not guarantee magical results, does not attempt to judge every spiritual tradition, and does not force a definitive conclusion. It is an informed, analytical second opinion — not a final ruling on whether a practitioner “works.”
SECTION 10: Digital Products & The Shop
Do you sell physical products or only services?
SCG Witchery’s shop is currently focused on digital products — grimoires, spell books, and ritual manuals. Physical ritual materials such as custom-blended oils and incenses are used as part of paid spell services but are not sold separately at this time. The product catalog is an ongoing, expanding project.
What digital products are currently available?
- Uncrossing Bath DIY Spell — A step-by-step guide for clearing bad luck, negative energy, and spiritual blockages. Price: $95.00
- Paid in Dirt: The Art of Conjure — A narrative grimoire teaching the true art of conjure. Price: $15.99
- Practical Working for the Enochian Tables Manual — A working companion focused on operational structure for the Enochian Tables, stripped of myth and historical discussion. Price: $18.99
- Gnosis AEI: A Master’s Guide to Witchcraft — A comprehensive grimoire presenting the full Gnōsis Aei system of magic as a disciplined, structured path. Price: $20.00
Are digital products refundable?
No. All digital products are final sale and non-refundable. Because access is provided immediately upon delivery, digital products cannot be returned.
SECTION 11: Membership
Does SCG Witchery have a membership program?
Yes. The Adept Membership grants access to members-only logins, protected digital assets, restricted community discussions, and proprietary content not available to the general public. It represents entry into the inner circle of SCG Witchery’s practitioner community.
How much does the Adept Membership cost?
The introductory price is $6.99 for the first payment, then $24.99 per month on an ongoing basis.
What is the SCG Witchery Community?
The SCG Witchery Community is an online forum space for practitioners of all experience levels to share rituals, discuss magical theory, and build spiritual connections. It is described as a safe, inclusive space. Membership centers around the “Inner Circle” — where members introduce themselves, share their spiritual paths, and engage in discussions on occult practice and theory.
SECTION 12: The Witch’s Wheel Sigil Creator
What is the Witch’s Wheel Sigil Creator?
The Witch’s Wheel Sigil Creator is a free interactive tool hosted on the SCG Witchery website. It allows you to encode any word or intention into a unique geometric sigil using a circular letter grid rooted in centuries of occult tradition. You enter a word or phrase, the tool plots each letter as a point on the wheel, then connects those points with straight lines in sequence to produce your personal sigil.
Who can use it?
Anyone — no experience with sigil work is required. It is designed to make the process precise, fast, and deeply intentional, and is suitable for ritual use, grimoire entries, candle inscriptions, or any personal magical practice.
SECTION 13: Booking & Process
How do I book a service?
Navigate to the Book an Appointment page. Browse the full service list, select your service, read the description, enter the required information, select a date from the calendar, complete payment, then use the WhatsApp icon on the website to connect directly with the practitioner to confirm and proceed.
Is there anything I need to do before I book a spell service?
Yes — two things: (1) Complete the Private Occult Consultation first, as it determines the correct tier for your situation. (2) Complete the Spell Service Client Intake Form, which is linked on every service booking page and must be submitted before any spell service booking is finalized.
How are sessions conducted?
All sessions and workings are conducted remotely. Communication takes place via email and WhatsApp. You do not need to be physically present for any service.
SECTION 14: Payments, Refunds & Policies
What payment methods do you accept?
Payments are processed through the website’s booking and shop system using commonly accepted methods including credit/debit cards and integrated payment processors. Specific options appear at checkout for each service or product.
Do you offer refunds?

Do you offer payment plans or tiered pricing options?
The three spell tiers — Praxis ($175), Telos ($450), and Gnosis ($850) — represent scaled pricing by complexity and customization level. If a custom payment arrangement is needed beyond these tiers, contact SCG Witchery directly to discuss options.
Where can I read the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy?
Both are linked in the footer of every page. The Terms of Service were last updated December 3, 2025, and cover your rights and responsibilities, results disclaimers, the 18+ age requirement, and data handling.
What is the minimum age to use SCG Witchery services?
You must be at least 18 years of age to access or purchase any service or product through SCG Witchery.
SECTION 15: Ethics, Transparency & Scam Awareness
How do you approach ethics in your practice?
SCG Witchery is built on three stated core principles: Authentication (combating fraud through the Spellcaster Verification service), Education (empowering clients through genuine knowledge), and Provision (offering reliable, high-quality tools and resources for serious practitioners). Every case is evaluated for ethical alignment, and work that conflicts with those standards will be declined.
Are results guaranteed?
No. The Terms of Service state explicitly: “We do not guarantee specific supernatural or material results.” No genuine occult practitioner can ethically guarantee specific outcomes, and SCG Witchery does not. What is guaranteed is that the agreed work will be performed with full integrity, skill, and effort.
How fast will I see results from spellwork?
Result timelines vary by situation, working type, and complexity. Realistic expectations are discussed during the consultation. No fixed deadlines are promised.
How do I know SCG Witchery is not a scam?
SCG Witchery encourages independent research, reading of third-party reviews, and exploration of blog and educational content before committing. The practice does not use instant-result guarantees, escalating fees, or fear-based pressure tactics — all hallmarks of spiritual fraud. The Spellcaster Verification service also exists specifically to help clients identify those patterns in any practitioner, including new ones they are considering.
Can you fix or remove work done by another practitioner?
In many cases, yes. SCG Witchery can assess and, when appropriate, counteract harmful or ineffective workings from other practitioners. This is handled case by case after thorough consultation and divination, and not every situation warrants intervention.
Is my information kept confidential?
Yes. Client confidentiality is a core part of the practice. Your details and case information are not shared without your explicit consent except where legally required. Full details are in the Privacy Policy.
Do you work with skeptical clients?
You do not need to be a believer to work with SCG Witchery, but you do need to be honest and open to the process. Healthy skepticism is welcome. What is not tolerated is dishonesty, game-playing, or attempts to manipulate the practitioner or the situation.
Does SCG Witchery do “dark” or aggressive magic?
The practice includes both constructive and protective workings and, when ethically justified, more aggressive or baneful forms of magic. Each request is assessed individually. Requests that conflict with SCG Witchery’s ethical standards or that pose undue harm will be declined.
