Lucky Mojo Forum

Hello everyone, I am new to sharing on the forum here. Have been reading LMCC Forum and websites for years though....and am also from NJ northern Ocean County.
Hoodoo first appealed to me mostly because I was spiritually transitioning from a more orthodox view and practice in fundamentalist Christianity. I attended churches and bible studies from age 15 to about age 38. This includes over 15 years in southern Baptist, Pentacostal and Apostolic fellowships in which my involvement was on service level for about 5 years including 2 years of Theology, Biblical Greek and Hebrew.

I don't want to be too long winded here but feel a need to present where I come from. So prior to age 15 I was raised to be Jewish. Though my Mother came from a 100% Irish Catholic backround both my biological and my step father were Jewish and both also diceased now. I often had family get togethers where both Christmas and Hanukkah were celebrated...but I also had a lot of mystical experiences. But that is another long story. Made short, after having some troubles in life and not finding the answers I needed I began to explore Gnostic Judeo Christian Spirituality and Divine Magic, Intuitive Magic, Shamanism, and Hoodoo. I first found LMCC products at a flee market about 15 years ago while I still attended Church then started reading on LMCC websites about 10 years ago; prior to and during this time I have also practiced neo Pagan forms of spirituality and magic. . Hindsite being 20/20 I believe that all of the above was always meant to be as everything changed for the better since. It has been work ,and not easy either, but well worth it.
Having been a solitary eclectic for over a dozen years now I do feel a need for a supportive community where my faith can continue to evolve. I remember when I first made the decision to except the truth that magic was right for me and ritualizing it. My intentions were and still are to promote love, joy and peace, good health, long life and prosperity as well as to uncover hidden truths along my path. It's been a wonderful journey and I have no regrets. Even my enemies have been my teachers and I am grateful both for the experience which made me stronger and for surviving them...lol...as well as my own mistakes which I acknowledge humbly, and grateful to the Higher Power of my understanding for all of it...

It would be even better if I could meet some new, like minded friends. Thank you all for sharing on here. Peace

If you ever have any questions, we are ALWAYS here for you.

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.

Peace~
