Alafia... Greetings and a brief introduction

[hounnonmissinhoun]

Hopefully, I can keep this introduction brief

Let me begin this introduction using my Royal Traditional name, Nana Amoako Yiadom Gyata (being a part of the Asona Royal Clan in the Agogo Traditional Area, Asante Akim North, Ghana); also being named, Hounnon Djrado Missin-Houn, with the Voudoun Thron Kpeto Deka Alafia of Benin, West Africa; the private American governmental name being, William Harrison.

If I have not complicated everyone's thought process, please allow me to continue by sharing that many years ago, I was a student of the Hoodoo Course, after years of searching, with whom I fondly call "Lady" Catherine. As with anything in this ether, various circumstances arose and I lost contact, yet the energy had made connection.

In my lineage are numerous Hoodoo Doctors, and even though the course of my life had taken me in another direction, I truly believe that the connection made with Lucky Mojo and Catherine Yronwode set the "supernatual" wheels into motion; causing me to discover my ancestral lineage in both Ghana and the Vodoun in Benin.

It is a great thing to be reunited here, especially with my love and appreciation for Hoodoo, coupled with my understanding of the sacredness and traditions of Vodoun.

Well, I promised to be brief, and thank you all for indulging me.

Please do feel free to ask any questions that you have of me... I look forward to participating more.

Oh, I have now resided in Louisiana for the past 22 years, and have many interactions with Root Workers, Hoodoo Doctors, and etc, here in the State.

May the Blessings Be... Ase.

Welcome back hounnonmissinhoun,

Welcome to the forum, and thank you for expressing an interest in all we have to offer.

I'm sure you have been exploring a lot on your own, but these are links to general information on Hoodoo 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 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 will merge your thread into the relevant "sticky" thread.

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 websites 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.

Just let us know if you need anything.

Best of luck,
Mr. Christopher
