Lucky Mojo Forum

Hi everyone,

I am so excited to have found these forums and Lucky Mojo Co. I happened upon this site by chance (or maybe fate) while doing some more research into hoodoo and conjure. This is an area of working that I have been very interested in for a long time but had been nervous about dipping into because of my culture. Imagine my surprise that after reading and soaking up the information on this website and other books I found that my family has been doing some of these practices and sayings as far back as I can remember (paternal grandmother). I am pretty much a culture mutt - Scotts/Irish, Native American (Cherokee), Hungarian and a sprinkle of Dutch according to my mother. I have always held deep respect for African American folklore, history, and culture. The town I was raised in was pretty segregated (culturally), there may have been one African American person in my graduating class in high school. So growing up I didn't get a chance to learn much about A.A. people until college. Thankfully as I got older I noticed my hometown become way less segregated and now there are many beautiful cultures that turn into a melting pot.

I moved to Louisville around 14 years ago and things here are much more culturally diverse and we have many different areas of town like most major cities do that celebrate specific areas where people have immigrated and settled down. I am a nursing student and I will finally graduate in about 9 months. I love taking care of people and I hope to be a very compassionate nurse. I've been witchin' my way through the world for around 10 years but I was raised Southern Baptist and for the last year or so I've been trying to find a way to mix the two, the answer to me is hoodoo. Church, family, and Sunday service (and the resulting amazing fried chicken dinner afterwards) has always been a huge part of my life. I turned my back on it all after my father and grandmother died. That's something else that I love about African American folk magic - the regard and honor for ancestors. I've been working on setting up an ancestor altar to my deceased relatives, I don't really know much about my family tree apart from immediate family and what kind of blood we have.

I placed a fairly large order for some fertility workings I have planned to do soon. I'm already planning future orders for things that need attention. My next big order will be for my mother who has a form of Lupus that really wreaks havoc on her skin. She gets these big discoid lesions and most of the time her skin feels like it burns. I have some stuff coming to me which will help me create a healing salve for her to use topically but I am reading up on and planning a working that will work for her healing.

Anyway I have blabbed so much, sorry for the novel. Thank you Miss Cat and everyone here who has so freely shared their knowledge about hoodoo and conjure and the amazing products in the LM shop.

Hello Miss Miri,

Welcome to the forum and to the Lucky Mojo family!

That's great you've found a connection to hoodoo, and I hope your mom feels better. That's so great you want to help her.

I am posting the most popular threads and some forum rules for you to look over.
And we are looking forward to seeing you on the forum.
If you ever have any questions, we are ALWAYS here for you.
Enjoy!!

Conditions and how we can address them:

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

5) Please do not start new topics

Just got home from dinner with some family. Thanks so much for replying and all this great information. I definitely will not create more work for you guys by starting new threads and I will start going over your links!

Welcome, Miss Miri !!

And thank you for caring abut the forum rules.

That is so thoughtful!
