missdiamonique,

Maybe after a while we develop a gift for knowing when something is a coincidence and when there is a rational explanation and when there is not.

One time I ordered an Adam and Eve root and named them for myself and another man and was so careful with them and when the Adam root ...

Cat,

I was just looking at your complete inventory and noticed the book,
Conjure in African American Society by Jeffrey E. Anderson. Was or is
this man a student of yours?

(Yes,, Jeff has taken this course -- and he occasionally reads and responds to this Yahoo group as well. Also, we interviewed ...

That is what I meant...Cat's eye shells...I was thinking there might be tiny holes in them to make jewelry out of but I guess there are no holes...Maybe some crafty person out there could come up with light weight ankle bracelets that could be worn all the time and not have to be removed using ...

Cat,
Do those Cat's eye beads you sell have holes in them to make jewelry out of? I noticed that some places sell Cat's eye beads for jewelry but they are not real Cat's eyes. They just look like them and they call them that. Carla

(We do not sell Cat's Eye beads. They are Cat's Eye SHELLS. They ...

I have a question for anyone out there who might know the answer. It may have some connection to Hoodoo...I don't know... Most of us know about the medical benefits of Green Tea but does anyone know anything about the medical benefits of green coffee?...

Years ago, it appeared in a dream to me ...

I use Elderberry and Mint mixed together in a tea with honey. You can make it according to your taste but I usually put in a tablespoon of each and steep it for at least 20 minutes and it works for me like a cold medicine and if I take it at night, it puts me to sleep. I made an elderberry extract ...

Thank You Cat and Lance for your input on books...I am keeping the list for future reference. Carla

Cat, I am wondering if you and anyone else on this e-list can direct me to some good books on a particular subject. I need a refresher course in a particular area of thought and work. I need a "refresher course"on how the spirit world works and how it is different in different cultures / countries ...

I just found cassette tapes of "Mules And Men" at the library
and listened to it. Sometimes it has a different effect to hear
stories being told audibly. It is an abridged version. I wish I
could find a version which is not abridged but anyway...while I was
listening to it, I could not help but ...

Hi,
I knew there was someone in this class
who wrote a book I was very interested
in reading and I was just listening to
Dr. Kioni and Cat's CD on "The Crossroads"
and found out his name and the name of the
book and found it being sold at Amazon.
It is not about Hooodo but I am still glad I
found ...

Cat and students,

I was just listening to
"The Doctrine of Signatures"
Hoodoo Rootwork Hour Radio
Show CD with Cat, Dr. Kioni and
students ad Dr. Kioni was talking
about how a lot of us are isolated
practitioners and he talked about
planning a Hoodoo convention.
Sounds like a great idea ...

I recently received Dr. Kioni's Hoodoo
Rootwork hours on CD and was very impressed.
Is there a way he or someone could put them all
on CDs for purchase. With the way my computer
works, I can't download them. Carla

Not to go on too long with this thread, but to give some idea of just
how unusual Alan Dundes was, both in the greatness of spirit and the
way in which people responded to him, I'd like to mention an event
which occurred about four or five years ago.

A student who was obviously impressed by his ...

I connected with him through letter writing and e-mail
and was looking forward to meeting him someday and am
sorry I won't have that opportunity...Carla

Can Cowrie shells be used to for protection and if so, how...any examples? Carla

Cat, What newspaper did you get that article from
about Tommy Johnson's grave site being deined to Family?
Carla

(It was passed along through the pre-war-blues elist. It has been an ongoing issue for a couple of years now and has been reported in various print and electronic venues. --cat)

I have been kind of out of it since this radio
show started and now am getting back on track.
I am on the east coast...Boston Area...how do I
get to be a part of this radio show.

(Read the elist messages for the time, subject, and -- most important -- the weekly access code. It will be posted ...

Does anyone out there know if the book,
The Magic And Folk Beliefs of The Southern
Negro by Newbell Niles Puckett is available
for download anywhere? Carla

(I do not think it is. It was originally copyright in the name of the University of North Carolina. Despite all the good folklore information ...

Cat or anyone else who knows...do you know of any
web sites where one can download good books related
to Hoodoo?
Carla

"Drums and Shadows" has been mentioned here before. The URL is
www.sacred-texts.com/afr/das/
"Conjure Woman" (fiction, but accurate on hoodoo depictions) by Charles W. Chesnutt ...

The next day after doing spell work and even for longer
than a day, I often have this depressed feeling and feel
drained. I think part of it is that I need to feel less
guilt and more sure of myself when it comes to magic and
I am working on that. Even though I was not raised with
any religion ...

Catherine and the rest...

I have two questions. I have been thinking of doing a particular commanding spell you have on your web site with a purple candle and commanding oil, etc but it does not say what to do with the candle wax when you are done with the spell at the end of the seven days. What ...

Thank You Catherine for your response about the cat with raised tail
candles and yes, I do need to learn to use your web site better.
There is probably a lot more there than I realize.

Carla

Just checking....
In some shops which include hoodoo products, I have seen back cat figural candles. Are these kinds of candles connected to Hoodoo at all? I have also seen cat candles with raised tails. Sometimes they are black or red but I have also seen cat candles with raised tails which are ...
