Lucky Mojo Forum

Hello! I thought I’d introduce myself. My name is Charlie and I’ve been a practicing witch for over 20 years, but I’m extremely new to hoodoo. I’m an unexpected mix racially, but not African American, so I’m treading very lightly and respectfully as to not misappropriate from a culture from which I have no blood ties. I love learning new things, so I’m delving into the vast knowledge that exists here on this forum as well as the Lucky Mojo site and I’m more in the “studying” phase of this journey. I’ve already ordered several books and can’t wait for them to arrive so I can start reading!

I hope to learn from all of you and eventually get to a place where I can help pass on knowledge as well, or be an area of support for my fellow humans.

My main goal in most of my magical work is humanity-based and earth-based. I work healing for our earth regularly and I also am feeling called to move toward setting up altars for healing, protection, and liberation for children who are in situations in which they are abused and neglected, as well as an altar for peoples who are marginalized or otherwise pushed down in our society (this includes mostly people of color, LGBTQIA+ people, and refugees).

I’m very active politically and I love volunteering for organizations centered around earth/nature, children, the arts, animals, and domestic abuse survivors.

Aside from my spiritual background, I’m a partner to a wonderful man and the mother of a beautiful and intelligent daughter. We live in Wisconsin, USA.

It's so nice to meet you!

Charlie

Hi misscharlie,

Pleasure to meet you, and welcome to the Lucky Mojo Forum!

Here are some popular links to get you started with free studies by means of web pages online. In addition, all of the Moderators here on the Lucky Mojo Forum (their names are in green) are graduates of my Correspondence Course and are well equipped to share their knowledge.

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

Conditions and how we can address them:

Here is some info on how the forum is 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.

Thanks so much for introducing yourself, and best of luck with your learning!

Thank you so much FiachnaCybele! I've been diving into all these articles and reading some really great threads.
