Hello from Albuquerque!

Post by Kimberly Yellowhorse » Tue Oct 26, 2010 5:47 pm

Hi my name is Kimberly,

I am from Albuquerque, New Mexico. I have been absolutely fascinated by the Lucky Mojo website - a wealth of information and products! I have to say that I am until very recently unfamiliar with hodoo. I did not have any familiarity with the term or what it is.
I have been reading the website non-stop since I came upon it about a month ago. I am awaiting two orders that I have recently placed.

By profession I am an accountant. I have an advanced business degree and have worked as a fraud examiner and auditor for many years.

I am also a diviner/reader of orcacles - I can read anything - I primarily read playing cards - but I read tarot, candles, palms, coals. I am also a medium and do communicate with the spirits of the dead.
I have worked as a diviner/reader for pay since I was twenty-five and have many long time clients from all over the United States.

I am a member of the Navajo Tribe. My Mother is Navajo and my father is white (german/Jewish).
I look white but my spiritual/cultural is Navajo. The Navajo culture is a matriarcal culture and one is considered full Navajo if one's mother is Navajo. One is Navajo on the basis of clan through the Mother.

What is so fascinating to me from reading the Lucky Mojo material is the similarity of Navajo Traditional
medicine to Hodoo. The greatest conjurer/root doctor/magician I know is my medicine man.
We call it medicine - it is the use of plants for spiritual purposes and spiritual is everything and all there is. Along with knowledge of plants and their uses are the proper prayers.

My medicine man worked for the railroad for many years - he has brought up "coffin nails" among other
things as evidence of a curse during a ceremony. I am wondering now if he had some exposure to Hodoo?? Maybe in his many years working on the railroad in the South. It will remain a mystery. Questions are not well tolerated in the traditional way. One learns through observation and example.

My Navajo Grandmother was very traditional - she knew alot about plants and how to use them.
She could cure you of anything.
For the Navajo people its a way of life.

Well anyway I am glad to have found Lucky Mojo. I would like to learn more about Hodoo.

Sincerely
Kimberly

Hi there and welcome!
I lived in Santa Fe, NM for several years and go back to visit frequently. While living and working there I made several friends who are Navajo and I know what you mean--there are some distinct similarities in the two traditions and of course some big differences too--primarily in plant use I think since NM/AZ has certain natives species that don't grow in the Southeast.
Blessings,
Bri
