Introduction

[ColetonCasano1991]

Hello everyone,

My name is Coleton. I am a 28 year old man, from Gulfport Mississippi. The lucky and proud husband of a wonderful man named George. We were both born and raised here in south Mississippi. Ever since childhood I have been attracted to the various spiritualities and crafts found in New Orleans. For the last decade I have devoted myself to the intense study of a variety of religions and practices. Including hoodoo, traditional witchcraft, Voodoo, Santeria, Yoruba, and Gaudiya Vaishnavism. Though I have had no real, formal teachers to speak of. Lately I have felt compelled to dive deeper and seek out qualified, intelligent people to hopefully help me grow and instruct me on these various paths.

My husband is a formally initiated Gaudiya Vaishnav by His Holiness Bir Krishna Goswami. I was a very devout Catholic discerning the priesthood in my teen years. We both practice a mixture of these, and the other religions I have mentioned above. George is an LCSW and clinical psychotherapist working in private practice. I am a professional psychic reader and spiritual advisor. With two national companies, and with private clients and small personal business of my own.

If you would like to know more, please ask. I am truly terrible when it comes to technology and online forums. Please bear with me and be patient if I do not know some of the subtleties of navigating a site like this. Though I am trying to learn more about technology and online forums as well. I am lucky to have my facebook running, much less use it the few occasions I do. Blessings to everyone!

Hello Coleton,

Welcome to the forum! It sounds like you have a very diverse spiritual background and that can certainly come in handy when offering your services professionally. Thank you for taking the time to introduce yourself. There are folks from around the world here on the forum and I find it so interesting learning how they found out about hoodoo. I hope you enjoy exploring all the different topics here. If you have have any questions, please feel free to ask.



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.
