Hello from Virginia ^_^

[HoundAndHearth]

Greetings from Virginia!

My twin brother recommended Lucky Mojo Hoodoo Rootwork Hour podcasts to me quite a while ago. This March, around the time the COVID-19 pandemic began spreading across the U.S., I started listening to show podcasts and was immediately hooked - I'm now listening to shows from back in autumn 2018! The shows are educational and entertaining - I love the learning and laughter that occur during every episode. With the stress and turmoil in the world right now, listening to the shows has helped me feel connected to a wonderful community.

Before I ramble off into obscurity, suffice it to say that I am glad to finally join the forum! Currently, I'm listening to today's live broadcast on BlogTalkRadio curled up on the sofa with my beagle. Hope to read and learn more here on the forum, not to mention get to know some of you ^_^

P.S. My twin gave me gifts of "The Black Folder: Personal Communications on the Mastery of Hoodoo" by catherine yronwode and "Hoodoo Shrines and Altars: Sacred Spaces in Conjure and Rootwork" by Phoenix LeFae, both of which I enjoyed and highly recommend.

Peace to y'all!

HoundAndHearth,

Welcome to the forum! I love listening to the old shows too. I used to listen to them while getting ready for work in the mornings. I've been through all of them once and i'm about midway through again. It's a great way to learn this tradition. When I listen it's almost like having coffee on the porch with friends. I hope you enjoy looking around on the forum. Is your twin on here as well? If not you'll have to convince him to get logged in!


We usually give a quick run down of rules and helpful links here. You may already be familiar with some of these but just to be on the safe side, I'll post them anyway.

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

Hoodoo History:

Mojo Hands:

Oils:

Herbs:

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.

Thank you, Terra Rising! Listening to the shows is a lot like having coffee with friends, indeed. Yes, my twin is on the forum as LeftHandedVirginian ^_^ Thank your for welcoming me, sharing links to helpful topics, and summarizing tips and rules. You’ve made me feel right at home!

Hi Hound and Hearth!

Your handle is really "homey" and warm sounding. I envision a wood house with a porch, a nice wood fire, and a friendly dog in the woods.

Welcome! I'm going to have to listen to more of these podcasts during my downtime, at your recommendation.

[nyalisa_13]

Thank you )) Hello to you too )))

[luckyinlove]

I'm in Virginia too. Nova to be exact. Do you know or anyone you know who is experienced in root work? Id like to have someone do the work for me whose more experienced. The only way to meet someone in this area who does this kind of work in person is through word of mouth.

[HoundAndHearth]

Thank you, @BellaSolanae! Your username is lovely, too!

@nyalisa_13 ^_^

@unluckyinlove Well, hello there fellow Virginian! I am down further south, so I am unfamiliar with rootworkers in the NOVA area. Perhaps you can check out the AIRR website to find a fully vetted, professional, wonderful rootworker online? They are located at http://readersandrootworkers.org/wiki/A ... ootworkers
