Lucky Mojo Forum

Hello my name is Reynor Padilla. I've been reading these pages for several years and recently started getting more serious about my conjure practice. I'm of Mexican and European descent and have extensive experience in Native American culture. Over the years I have felt a strong desire to learn magic related to my own Christian (Catholic) ancestry. I have been naturally attracted to Lucky Mojo products ever since I found them our local Seattle occult shop, Edge of the Circle books. I've recently started going to a radically progressive charismatic predominantly African-American church called Liberation United Church of Christ. I'm gay so it's really important for me to participate in an open and affirming church -- and I've found one.

I recently became serious about hoodoo to protect myself from people who wish me harm. I also did a month long work on a court case that I won. I used Psalms, candle magic, and couple court case mojos that I made (the first one was a dud). Right now I'm working a Honey Jar love spell for my best girlfriend.

I've become very passionate about hoodoo. It feels like it is opening a path for my own ancestors. I'd like to take Cat's correspondence course at some point. I'm just working my way up to it. I have never been a big believer in Christ or the Bible, but it's what my ancestors believe, so I use it. As I've started to pray and work the Psalms I've found great peace and feel the Holy Spirit more than ever. I'm starting to believe. That's why I'm going to church.

I'm really happy to be here and look forward to learning more from everyone.

Hello ReynorPadilla,

Welcome to the Lucky Mojo forum! Thank you for sharing your story. That's so wonderful that you're passionate about hoodoo and that it's helping you to connect with your ancestors. Let us know if you have any questions and we'll be happy to answer them.

Take care.

Thank you!

ReynorPadilla,

Welcome to the Lucky Mojo forum, and thanks for introducing yourself!

I am posting links to the most popular threads and some forum rules for you to look over. We look forward to seeing you on the forum. If you ever have any questions, we are always here for you.

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

Here is some info on how the forums are set up. It is divided into four major 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 five 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 post illegal copies of material from other web sites or from books.

3) 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.

4) Please do not start new topics; we have thousands of topic-threads already in place.

5) Please do not quote people by using the copy-paste function; it wastes space.
