Hello Lucky Mojo!

[BellaSolanae]

Hi Lucky Mojo,

This is the coolest site. I've been reading here on and off for over a decade. The art car pages kept me entertained through a last batch of finals in college back in 2009.

Over the years, I've been learning more about hoodoo, and am really excited to be posting here. A local retailer in the Denver area hosts the Mile High Conjure Gala. After their 2019 fall festival, they started to carry some of the LM publications. Faced with job loss, and more time building my own business, I purchased a number of titles. My winter was spent reading over many of these books. Hoodoo Herb and Root Magic is such a good book of ethnobotany and magic. I feel called to do more spiritual work professionally, and hope to take the correspondence course. Its tuition well spent on the amount of education I've gleaned from the site thus far.

Thank you to everyone at Lucky Mojo.

Best,
BellaSolanae

Hi BellaSolanae, I also hope to be a student soon. I’m just working on my prerequisite purchases. Perhaps we will be “classmates!” A mod will be along to welcome you properly soon. Btw I’m in Indiana but what is usually referred to as Chicagoland.

BellaSolanae,

Welcome to the forum and thank you for taking the time to introduce yourself. I'm sure you know your way around the forum pretty well but I will post links just in case. If you have any questions, let us know!


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

Oils:

Conditions and how we can address them:

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.

Hi Terra,

Thank you for your warm welcome and the great info. I'm least familiar with the forums, so your information was very helpful. Moderation is work, and I'd like to be in harmony to make this great place function well.

The place in town does not carry Lucky Mojo oils, powders, etc. but they do stock some books. Denver has a good magical community, and in my early days of learning about conjure/hoodoo, I've tried to stay local. My hope is that I can continue to stay embedded in my community, and also find community here.

Thanks much,
BellaSolanae

Hi Risen Raven,

Its so nice to meet you as well. Being "classmates" would be really fun!

I am also working on my prerequisite purchases, and making a shopping list. I'm also from Illinois originally, so yes, the Chicagoland area reference works for me. Currently residing in the Denver metro.

Be well!!
