(Missionary Independent Spiritual Church)
From 2002 through 2013, the Lucky Mojo Curio Company offered an assortment of
informational "shop flyers" to all in-store, and mail-order customers, as well
as to in-person students in catherine yronwode's classes and apprenticeships.
These "shop flyers" featured basic information about African American hoodoo
drawn from catherine's book "Hoodoo in Theory and Practice." Meanwhile, from
2008 through 2013, at the Missionary Independent Spiritual Church annual Hoodoo
Heritage Workshops, attendees who came to receive hands-on training in the
practice of conjure and other forms of world folk-magic received hand-out flyers
describing the spells, recipes, and methods of practice being taught by
catherine and a stellar line-up of her colleagues and those who had trained
under her.
Every year, all of the current and previous three-hole-punched
information sheets -- the Lucky Mojo Shop Flyers and the Hoodoo Heritage
Festival Workshop Hand-Outs -- were collected together into a black
school-report cover, which we called "The Black Folder," and were sold to
attendees and by mail order to those who could not attend in person.
As the years went on, the content of The Black Folder grew and grew and grew,
until there were so many pages that they could no longer easily fit into a
single report cover ... and so we put together the complete set of all of the
past Missionary Independent Spiritual Church Hoodoo Heritage Workshop flyers,
plus a complete set of all of the Lucky Mojo Curio Company shop flyers into a
136 page professionally printed BOOK. The name of the book is "The Black Folder"
-- but don't let the name (or the cover) fool you -- it's a regular 8 1/2" x 11"
trade paperback book, like nothing else available anywhere.
