Hello I am new here!

[caseck]

Hello,

I have been looking at the Forum and Correspondence Course curriculum for some time now and I did not want to do it until I finished my degree. Trying to balance grad school, family and full time work was insanely busy.

I wanted to learn and had a few mentors in the past, all of which, took the correspondence course taught by Catherine Yronwode. I promised myself that once I finished my school and had the time to dedicate, then I would start down that path and here I am.

I am not new to Hoodoo, but I still have a great deal to learn. My family has always been divided on the subject of anything related to religion and spiritual practices. My great grandmother very much believed in Hoodoo while my mother and aunts thought it was something scary and evil. But, what family agrees on everything?

I work full time, have a family and now I have free time to do what I want since grad school is over in two days!

I still have to complete two more invoice purchases on the required buyers list, then interview and hopefully enroll. But, for now, I am still learning from all of you and reading the materials that are available to me.

Thank you all for being here!
Case

Hello caseck,

Welcome to the Lucky Mojo forum! We're happy to have you here!

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!!

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

Hoodoo History:

Oils:

Baths:

Powders:

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

6) Please do not quote people

Hi Caseck, I’m new too! Congratulations on finishing grad school! I’m sure your family is very proud of you; grad school is hard!

I was nodding my head when I read your comments about your family. I can relate.

Congratulations also on taking the correspondence course. I hope to eventually take that also. I’m still trying to absorb all the other information and listen to some of the podcasts.

I’m sure I’ll see you around the forum. Good luck!

Hello caseck,

Thanks for checking in here. I try to be friends on Facebook with all my students, as well as keeping up with the forum, so send me a friend request some time. I am always close to or at my level of 5,000 friends (which is all that Facebook allows, since i don't want to be listed as a "public figure) -- if you place an order and leave a message as to your forum username and your facebook user name in the message area, Nikki or one of the other shop folks will add these to your "pseudonym" field in the database and i can locate whatever name you use on faceboook that way ad be more likely to friend you.
