A long time esoteric student (dabbler), new to hoodoo!

[sooperspooky]

I've spent a lot of my life studying and dabbling a few styles of magic(k), and basically every esoteric study I can get my hands on. It all started with that chaos magick wave of the early 90's!
Next I'm interested in studying Cabbalah and... Hoodoo/Rootwork.
While waiting for some books to arrive in the mail, I'll be quenching my thirsty curiosity on this forum.

Hello, Eris,
Welcome to the Forum and the Lucky Mojo family!
You will LOVE Hoodoo. Miss cat is a spectacular teacher and the forum members are very helpful

We are always here to answer any questions.
See you on the forum!

These are links to general information on Hoodoo and to give you a jumping off point.

Here is some info on how the forums are set up. It is divided into four parts:

1) News and Announcements about the Lucky Mojo Curio Company and this site.

2) Lucky Mojo Spiritual Supplies and how to use them, listed in threads by product type and product title.

3) Life Conditions and Situations, with recommended Lucky Mojo products, spells, and advice.

4) The Online Hoodoo Community, including sites, events, and outreach sponsored by Lucky Mojo.

When you post, it helps your moderators, who are recompensed volunteers, if you post in the area of the board that is best suited to the archival of your question or comment. That way moderators will not have to move your post or merge it into ongoing threads.

If you can't find a post you made, it may have been moved or merged. Go to your profile by clicking on your name and "search recent posts" -- you will find it.

Within each board section there are STICKY threads -- ones that always stay "stuck" to the top. These are popular discussion-threads that you can read and add to if your questions or comments fall into one of these oft-broached topics. If you don't see a "sticky" that relates to your question, feel free to start a new thread in the relevant section.

We do have a few "thou shalt not" rules here, and they can be found in the Forum Rules link at the top of each page. Most important for newbies are these four common errors to avoid:

1) Please do not come here asking for our formulas for conjure oils or for instructions on how to use spiritual supplies that you bought at a grocery store or at a competitor of ours; this is the Lucky Mojo Forum and is financially supported by the Lucky Mojo Curio Co.

2) Please do not spam the moderators by sending multiple duplicated private messages asking for personal help outside the board; many of our moderators do perform readings and rootwork spell-casting for clients, but they are professionals and you should approach them as you would any other professional.

3) Please do not post illegal copies of material from other web sites or from books.

4) Please do not post put-downs of any group of people based on their religion, race, or national origin, including derogatory comments about religions to which you may have previously been an adherent or comments in which you seek to falsely conflate any religion with the practice of evil sorcery.

Hey Eris. Welcome!

[MissMichaele]

sooperspooky, welcome! Interesting that you're interested in the Kabbalah -- is that practical Kabbala -- Jewish practical magic -- or mystical? There's a fair amount of overlap between hoodoo and practical Kabbalah, which happened indirectly through conjure workers' discovery of the Secrets of the Psalms, the 6th and 7th Books of Moses, and -- written especially for this market in the early 1940's! -- the 8th, 9th and 10th Books of Moses. I've been reading and writing about it a lot lately, as you'll be able to see when Lucky Mojo releases Magic in the Bible -- the Bible in Hoodoo next spring.
