Hi Cat,

I was fooling with google and I came across this
Psychic Detective. Seems they've lifted some of your
pages wholesale without attribution. I sent them an
email suggesting they remove the offending pages.

For Cat... Re: Copyright Infiengement at Lulu (#12569)

cat;



After I read Johannes Gårdbäck's post about the possible misuse of
Dr. Kioni's photo at www.lulu.com/content/866230
<http://www.lulu.com/content/866230> , I thought I would take a look at
Ms. McDonald's materials. Sure enough, I am disappointed to say that
I found her `Hoodoo Power & Hoodoo Spells' and `Hoodoo
Candle Magic & Conjurations' E-books to be almost, if not, direct
text taken from your Hoodoo in Theory and Practice pages.

Her materials include direct and lengthy quotes from you and do not site
you or give credit to you or your pages. She is selling these materials
via www.lulu.com <http://www.lulu.com/> for $3.74 each and knowing how
important an issue this is, not only to you, but in general I wished to
inform you immediately of the situation

I got copies of the E-books mentioned above that I purchased from the
site this afternoon and I'll will gladly email you copies of them if you
want to look them over without having to give money to someone who has
already stolen from you just so you can read you own work. I didn't
include them here because of the limitations of sending big files via
Yahoo.

If you need them please don't hesitate to get hold of me at my home
email which is coyote97@verizon.net <mailto:coyote97@verizon.net> .

Unhappily the bearer of bad news,

(Thank you Charles. I too purchased copies of the books and found them to be copyright infringements of my works. Not only that, the name "Jacquelin McDonald" is a pseudonym that is being used in a VAST copyright infrinement scam at Lulu! The following is what i have found by checking through the materials via google. It's astounding -- and huge -- and i am not the only victim. The following is my letter to Lulu. Y'll friendly pitbulls please feel free to bombard them with letters, too! --cat)

At Lulu, the address of the supposed hoodoo author Jacqueline McDonald, is given at

http://stores.lulu.com/wiccanuniverse

as

Jacqueline McDonald
6316 Beloit Avenue
Florida, United States

witchesplanet@gmail.com

Notice that the CITY is missing from this address. However, a quick check with google maps discloses
that this street name and number combination occurs in only ONE city in Florida, namely Keystone
Heights, a small ton to the northwest of Gainesville, Florida. Thus we can derive the full name and address of "Jacqueline McDonald":

Jacqueline McDonald
6316 Beloit Avenue
Keystone Heights
FL 32656

However, when researching tax records for this address, what turns up is not "Jacqueline McDonald,"
but rather two other names, Jeannie M. Northrup and Summer G. Raynes -- both of whom are also
publishing dozens of books at Lulu!

claycountytax.com

Clay County, Florida, tax records list this address for

The phone number given for the above two companies (senior care and auto financing services),
352-473-8256, has been disconnected and is out of service.

At http://www.specialfinanceautoleads.com/ ... ources.htm
there is a different address and a slightly variant telephone number, still

The transposition of area code 325 for 352 is not correct, as Keystone Heights is in the 352 area
code. The address is real, and appears to be semi-rural or undeveloped land.

Now, knowing that at least TWO of the books by these three authors are plagiarized from my writings,
and considering that here are dozens more in the same subject-line of magical apells that are
probably also copyight infringements, i am asking that i be supplied with FREE copies of each of
these books to examine. It is an unfair burden for me to have to pay for downloads in order to
examine the books for copyright infrinegement. Having paid for two of them already and found
infringements in both -- and not having yet received recompense for my purchases or royalties due --
i think it behooves Lulu to contact me a once so that we can conduct a speedy resolution of this
matter.

I require that the following action be taken within 24 hours:

1) ALL royalties that the infringer has been paid by purchasers are to be deducted from her account
and paid to me. This must include also the FULL TOTAL that i paid for the downloads of my own
writings, as well as all royalties paid to Jacqueline McDonald by myself and anyone.

2) Immediate removal of the infringing pages from Lulu.

3) A promise that this author or authors, Jacqueline McDonald aka Jeannie Northrup aka Summer Raynes
will be banned from Lulu for copyright infrinegement abuse and will not be permitted to abuse Lulu
or to victimize other authors ever again.

If i have not heard from a Lulu agent or representative by the end of my business day on Monday,
October 1st, i will put this matter in the hands of my lawyer and will also publicize it via the
internet.

I am outraged and infuriated. The fact that Lulu lists no contact telephone number and only allows
an "abuse" form to be submitted via web-based email is disturbing, so i posting this as a comment to
the McDonald pages in question and i am distibuting it through USENET and to the students of my
Hoodoo Rootwork Correspondence Course.

For speediest resolution of this matter, you may telephone me at my office:

I know Key Stone Heights, Florida. Boy are they giving it a bad name! It's between Starke and Palatka on State Road 301 (near Goldhead Branch State Park and not far from Kingley Lake). Any spells with Spanish Moss, Live Oak, or any type of tannin such as cyprus swamp water should teach them a good lesson. Also, there are a lot of peat moss mines around Key Stone Heights. If any one is in the know around there just mention "The King Sisters" - Kitty, Alley, Mamie, and Billie. If you're looking for the whoopin, call on "Myrtle, the baby" -- she'll get 'em. They are all my Great Aunts (except Mamie who was my Grandmother).

Holy 7-11 Oil (#12573)

Posted: Mon Oct 01, 2007 12:47 am
by Michele Jackson
Cat,



I have a question about your Holy 7-11 Oil. I have a bottle I bought from
you several years ago. It is a small bottle and it appears to have camphor
in it. If I recall correctly, you stopped making it for a while and the
brought it back into your inventory because it was requested. I have a large
bottle bought since then and it has several herbs in it but no camphor. The
older bottle has no herbs. They smell very different and look different as
the old bottle is clear (no herbs). What prompted you to change the recipe
so radically?


Michele

(The recipe has not been changed. It is the same one as found in Exodus 30, in the Bible. I have lately been adding a bit of Myrrh resin grains to the bottles, to heighen the Myrrh scent. There has never been any Camphor in that oil -- it's just what's in the Bible, which lists five ingredients: Myrrh, Cinnamon, Cassia, Calamus, and Olive oil. Here is the recipe for Jewish Holy Oil from the Bible:

Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred [shekels], and of sweet cinnamon half so much, [even] two hundred and fifty [shekels], and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty [shekels], And of cassia five hundred [shekels], after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin: And thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compounded after the art of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil. (Exodus 30:22-33)

I have a question about your Holy 7-11 Oil. I have a bottle I bought from you several years ago. It is a small bottle and it appears to have camphor in it. [...]

(The recipe has not been changed. It is the same one as found in Exodus 30, in the Bible. I have lately been adding a bit of Myrrh resin grains to the bottles, to heighen the Myrrh scent. [...] --cat)

Thanks. FWIW, I like the new formulation with the extra Myrrh better.

Michele

Miss Cat,

While out and about on the internet trying to find some info on Special Oil No. 20, I
encountered a blatant copyright infringement. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Please remove this plagiarism and copyright violation from

illegal copy of the book "Hoodoo in Theory and Practice" by
catherine yronwode (myself). The copyright notice is CLEARLY
STATED on each page. What you are doing is a criminal

Thanks. The page is a stone-cold rip-off of my HITAP page at

Here is the culprit:

I would just LOVE it if a few of you gave her a call or dropped her some email. :-) I have already done both, myself, but i get the distinct clairvoyant impression that she would love to hear from all of you, one at a time and in groups. Tell her that selling her products by using my text is both against man's law and God's law, and about how liars BURN IN HELL and while you're at it, you might tell her that we are prying this ...

MIRACULOUS PRAYER TO SAINT EXPEDITE

O Roman Martyr, Saint Expedite,
Noble soldier, friend of those in need of quick justice,
Smite down Sarah Spiritual in her pride and arrogance!
Destroy the works of she who steals bread from the mouth

posing as a writer, when she is only a thief,
posing as a spiritual worker when she is only a liar

Saint Expedite, i adjure you to take her ripped-off

If you aid me in this, my darling Expedite, i will
feed you with pound cake and celebrate your name.
I will lay flowers at your feet.

Folks,

Sarah Spiritual is, as far as I know, not a malicsious person.  In fact, she is a very caring, empathetic, and loving person, who runs an informative radio show in addition to her botanica business.  Yes, this is definately copyright infringement, but I am wondering if it was done in this case simply by poor choice and decision on her part.  In this instance, perhaps a calmer and kinder approach would initially be best; simply point out to her, Cat, that is infringement of your copyrighted works and to please desist.  I am sure she will be humbled by her mistake and comply.  No need to burn her at the stake just yet!

Greetings, group members,
 
Out of respect for Miss. Cat and the work she has done over the years I submit the following in a calm state of mind. This Sarah needs to be magickally condemned, because lack of knowledge of a law (magickal or mundane) is no excuse. And frankly nowadays even people with limited educations recognize such simple concepts/laws as copywrite infringement. So even though this woman may not have done anything to (me) personally I do feel she needs to be punished.
 
Blessings & Ashe!

I have asked that the page come down in 24 hours. If it does not come down, then tomorrow we contact her isp and the copyright agent for her isp will take her entire site down. No isp wants to be party to an indefensible lawsuit.

Did she know what she was doing? You bet she did. For the past 30 years everyone who has ever rented or purchased a home videotape or DVD has read the rules of copyright.

What i don't understand is how and why so many supposedly empathetic and loving people continually make such poor MORAL decisions. These are the folks who -- unlike politicians and financiers -- openly declare their interest in healing and helping the world, and yet i have been stolen from by them more deliberately, persistently, and egregiously than by shop-lifters.

From pederast priests to rip-off spiritual workers, our field is corrupted. Conjure workers think nothing of theft from their colleagues and competitors, as long as they can get away with it. And if they steal from their colleagues and competitors, do you think that they will refrain from stealing from their clients? Needy clients are continuously being parasitized by unworthy so-called advisors, and we all know this to be true.

So, unless you can demonstrate that this Sarah Spiritual woman has somehow fully compartmentalized "ripping off competitors" from "ripping off clients," and is thus only HALF immoral, i would not trust her as a competitor OR as a spiritual advisor.

During the 1930s, when there was an economic depression going on, the crime of robbery was on the rise. Newspapers, radio, magazines, and movies devoted a lot of attention to this so-called "crime wave." Meanwhile, people were losing their homes and businesses due to the shady practices of white-collar criminals, and unregulated white collar crime got almost no publicity at all.

A singer named Woody Guthrie wrote a good long ballad on the subject of the double-standard whereby a man who held up a bank for cash would be shot in the back and left to die in a corn field but a man who stole by the use of deceptive contracts would go unremarked in the newspapers due to society's polite desire to believe that as a culture we abide by certain moral norms. Here's a fragment of that ballad:

------------------------------------
Now, as through this world I ramble,
I see lots of funny men,
Some will rob you with a six-gun,
And some with a fountain-pen.
------------------------------------

Times have changed, and Sarah Spiritual uses a mouse-over and drag-and-drop rather than a fountain pen and paper, but she robbed me just as certainly and surely as if she had held a gun to my head and demanded my money.

Hi Cat,
I've been asked to give a lecture on Hoodoo this weekend as part of a series on American folk magic traditions. I'm going to discuss Hoodoo history, cultural influences, terminology, Hoodoo's impact on the arts (namely the Blues), types of Rootworkers, the role of Hoodoo candle shops and suppliers, various noteable curios like lodestones and High John, methods of working that are characteristic of Hoodoo, and working with the spirits of the dead. I've also been asked to talk specifically about the crossroads ritual and who the guardian of the crossroads is and what he does.
This is the permission part: I have several of the "how to work with...." information sheets that the Lucky Mojo staff sends out with customer orders and wanted to your permission to copy a couple of them as is (absolutely no changes to what you've written) and give them to attendees as hand-outs. If you aren't comfortable with me doing this, I completely understand.
I will also be typing up a recommended reading list, and along with it will include a list of reputable resources Lucky Mojo will be included along with the Southern Spirits website, among others.
Btw, if there is anyone else reading this and you'd like to have your website listed as a resource, please send me your website address and I'll add you to the list. This lecture is this weekend so the sooner you can get me your information, the better....I have to have everything printed by Friday.
Take care,
Denise

Asked by whom? Where? A university? A competing occult shop? Be specific, please.

"A couple"? Two sheets? Front and back both? Which ones? Be specific, please.

Copying them with NO changes would not be cool. Copying them with "reprinted for [name of event] with permission of..." would suit me better.

If we reach an agreement, i'd need it in writing that you promise to not hand them out to other folks at other times, of course.

I am certainly not comfortable with what amounts to my making a legal contract with you stating "it okay for Denise to reprint sn unspecified number of my unspecified texts in an unspecified number of copies to distribute at an unspecified venue and to do so for an unspecified amount of time thereafter."

Every agreement is a contract. Every contract should contain a start date and a stop date, as well as a description of what is being done. A contract need be no more elaborate than a signed letter of intent. A simple paragraph is enough. The exchange of one dollar is enough to secure the professionality of the agreement.

I'd be glad to talk you through the process on the phone. Discussing it in this Yahoo group is probably going to be boring to everyone else, so why not call me on the phone and we can talk it over, okay? Thanks!

Hi Cat,
It was for a lecture held sponsored by the Texas Local Council of Covenent
of the Goddess. The theme of the lectures was sharing information about
different traditions of American folk magic. I needed to have everything
printed by Friday (10/2) and didn't see your response until today (10/4) so
I *did not* make any copies of the information sheets because I know how
much it hurts you to be disrespected that way not; to mention any copywrite
violations I would have committed by doing so without your permission. I
have too much respect and admiration for you to be one of *those* people.
Anyway, the workshop was great! I did a bit of show-and-tell with some of
the curios I have because most of these people have never seen things like
Double-Action Candles, Magnetic Sand, or a Black Hen's Feather duster, and
discussed the topics I mention in my message above. Everyone seemed to enjoy
the presentation and some have already visited the Lucky Mojo website.
Take care,
Denise Marshall #672(G)

Hi Miss Cat,

someone on the myhoodoospace group saw a post in which I mentioned I had made the 17 herb male tonic awhile back. Said person asked for the recipe. Am I allowed to share it? A little confused, as it isn't a propriatary formula, though I learned about it via the coursebook.

I posted that I would check in and see if I have the ok to share it.

Thanks,

- Reynolds #1396

You are most decidedly NOT permitted to share recipes. Your solomn promise to "not copy the material for free or for sale in any medium, including paper, audio, or electronic methods of reproduction, and not to give [your] Correspondence Course book to another person to read or copy" was something you gave me when you signed up for the course. If you break your promise, you will be expelled. I am very serious about this.

And by the way, that recipe for male tonic IS "a proprietary formula." I personally created in 2001 for Lucky Mojo to sell in glass bottles to a Florida distributor of Jamaican and hoodoo goods. It is offered in the course for my STUDENTS ONLY, as a gift to them.

DO NOT GIVE YOUR COURSE MATERIAL AWAY.

In fact, because you have forgotten your promises to me, i shall now reproduce the "four agreements" you made before i allowed you to take the class:

(1) Enrollment is limited to students who do not use anonymous remailers or pseudonyms. You must use your REAL LEGAL NAME in the Correspondence Course. Each class member is assigned a student ID # (for ease of tracking homework) and the REAL LEGAL NAMES of all students are known to all other students via a student contact web page. I will not accept students who fail to give me a telephone number, a valid street address, and an email address. Any student found using a pseudonym or making any other attempted falsification of identity will be expelled, and the expulsion will be permanently known to all other students.

(2) Students must acknowledge my copyright ownership of the Hoodoo Rootwork Correspondence Course text and must agree to not copy the material for free or for sale in any medium, including paper, audio, or electronic methods of reproduction, and not to give their Correspondence Course book to another person to read or copy. Any student found distributing or copying the course material will be expelled, and the expulsion will be permanently known to all other students.

(3) Students must show aptitude and interest and agree that they will attempt to turn in all eight homework assignments and graduate. My best students are those who are familiar and comfortable with the principles, methods, and tools of African American conjure, Appalachian herb magic, Latin American folk magic, and/or European folk magic. Therefore, at the present time, this course is only being offered to people who have been or are current customers of the Lucky Mojo Curio Company and are listed as such in the store's database. My reason for this is that after teaching 1,350 students, i came to the realization that people whose sole database entry was their order for the course book almost never turned in their homework assignments or graduated from the course -- whereas store customers who become students were the most likely to turn in their homework and graduate.

(4) Because each course book is personally inscribed by me to the student in his or her name and with his or her student ID number affixed, the course book is not returnable for credit or refund. If, for any reason, you are not prepared to turn in your homework and graduate, please do not enroll in this course.

Hi Miss Cat,

If I am presented with a situation in which an inadverdant or absentminded mistep would result in my betraying a trust and/or breaking a promise or oath, I pause, think, review, and if needed ask for clarification.

Thank you for clarifying this matter for me and my fellow students.
I'm glad that I took the correct and intelligent course of action and asked, as I pride myself on doing the right thing by keeping my promises.

Dear Cat,

I COMPLETELY understand you and HEAR you with this message.

I am a new student who found out about you and the course through a retailer who proudly displays your product as a graduate and qualifies themselves as a graduate verbally as well as in their bio.
I have recvd all course materials (Aug 09) and have completely consumed the book once, downloaded and read all referenced material in the book (ENORMOUS amount of information) and now I am getting started dedicating myself monthly to each chapter...

When you and I had our telephone interview (which was fantastic!) you emphasized teaching and sharing your message - Through retail, as well as classes, "What we were learning through you is not only for personal consumption but also can help others" ~ I believe this is and will be your legacy.
That particular part of our conversation impressed me and opened my eyes to new possibilities.

With that said,

There is a very fine line between the below response and our telephone conversation.

My local "shop owner" and practicing graduate rootworker is proud, they are certified by you, and sharpens skills every day as they practice and perfect.

But, perhaps I misunderstood you during our telephone interview and would like to know how to carefully walk the line as a successful graduate who will be able to implement your wonderful and generous knowledge as a certified root worker and Lucky Mojo retailer...and, who wants to spread the word of how to join the Lucky Mojo Movement.

...Not by blatantly turning over a recipe without knowledge, background info or intent to an anonymous 'meow space', but to work a craft and implement our talents as a certified Hoodoo Rootworkers, graduates of Catherine Yronwode.

Looking forward to your response as I think others could be thinking the same thing.

Most sincerely,

Lauren West
Student #1523

(I see no fuzzy or fine line: If folks copy the course book, they have broken our agreement. The request concerned duplicating material directly from the course book, and that is against course terms of service. --cat)

Screw copyright violation, the guy who is doing this is an asshole. He is mocking hoodoo and specifically calling out Lucky Mojo as a fraud. I say we all throw a little something his way and see how his life's circumstances change. Maybe then he'll give more credence to the things he is mocking on his site.

I know from experience what this kind crap on the internet does to someone's business. I don't believe that Lucky Mojo will just let this go and I hope that they whollop him. This guy is violating the copyright law by using their images and so a letter from an attorney will take care of that I'm pretty sure. He's an idiot for doing that. If he had posted just the text, I think he would be covered under the First Amendment. There's this 'third party' thing where people can get out of being held responsable. Obviously I don't know enough about it to really explain it in detail. I'm learning about all this stuff because I have been the victim of this kind of bullshit too from internet websites using my name to direct people to their scamming "psychic" websites.

Anywhay, I should introduce myself! My name is Christy and I work as a professional psychic and rootworker. I've been reading for people for a little over 20 years now, professionally as my full time lifestyle for about 8. Rootwork is fairly new to me, but I have been using herbs and candles for spellwork my whole life in my own kind of magick. I own a spiritual supply/vintagy shop in Fairhaven Washington called Broomsticks Curio right by the ocean and 20 minutes from the Canadian border. My professional name is Miss Christy Noelle or Mademoiselle Noelle. My favorite kind of music is pre-war blues and I love to dance!)

Actually, I believe this asshole might be protected. But not being a lawyer, I don't know. However

a) he isn't trying to pose as Lucky Mojo or present thier information as his own

b) the authors of the comments on the blogs are given credit and recognition

c) his little "witty remarks" (and I use that term VERY loosely) along side the screen captures of the forum can be interpreted as fair use, much as Perez Hilton (a gossip blogger who takes the images of celebrities that are property of other photographers, and then writes things on them) with his blog. It has something to do with sarcasm or "comedy" or something.

But then, I am reminded of a saying, "There is no such thing as bad publicity."

It doesn't appear to be copyright infringement but this is downright mean.  I'm not the one to talk smack but if I was being personally attacked like this in my personal conjure I'd be ready to throw down some hoodoo.  This is just plain wrong.  Marc

Well I had a similar situation where some little ass was besmirching my good name on a yahoo group and I asked him to stop. He basically told me that I was a fraud and cast me aside. I did a little internet search and discovered where the man lived, what he looked like, and got a photo of him. I then did a WICKED reversing spell to send all of his hate, judgment and vitriol back at him, and it did the trick. I ended up getting 7 new clients from the yahoo group that guy was running, and he was totally discredited.

I'm happy to light a reversing candle, dressed with reversing oil, circled counter-clockwise with powdered crab shell, agrimony and gunpowder on top of a mirror for this situation.

Eddy,

LOL - I know exactly who you're talking about. I think he lost mod status on another group very shortly thereafter because of his self-righteousness on there, too.

Good to know that you ended up benefiting from the whole ordeal.

I for one will stand up to defend these guys.  

I'm not a lawyer either, but it sure looks like freedom of speech to me.  

As such, I might not like what they say but I will defend their right to say it.  
 
Looking around their website I thought most of it was actually pretty funny.  

I didn't think their comments on the LM forum were really malicious, slanderous or anything serious like that ? they were just poking some fun at us. It's maybe even instructive to be reminded that what seems commonplace to us can appear so strange to others.  

My many years in the pharma business have taught me that it's usually better to be mocked than to be reviled - maybe my hide has thickened.

Hey cat et al,

A client asked me about a term on this website
http://www.everythingunderthemoon.net/spells/spells-from-the-psalms.htm

and as I was reading, this sentence struck me: "The reference to "the
alphabetical order of Bechar" is obscure Kabbalistic in-fighting about
variant rules of gematria which non-Kabbalists can safely ignore." I
said to myself, "Self, that "obscure Kabbalistic in-fighting" phrase
right there sounds like something cat yronwode would write."

So I checked here
http://www.luckymojo.com/secretspsalms.html

and sure enough, cat yronwode did write it. Go figure.

And there's more.
http://www.everythingunderthemoon.net/spells/reversing-crossed-conditions.htm

Go figure.

Have a great end-of-year and Happy New Year, folks!

Cheers,

Karma (961)

Hi everyone,

Well, I looked at Heather's website and she is totally oblivious. Here's her Facebook page if anyone wants to email her and tell her to stop stealing other people's work. She comes across to me like someone who just has no idea with what the heck she's messing with. Not that it's any kind of excuse but I kinda feel sorry for her. Especially after you guys get a hold of her! : )

Dear Jacqueline,

I will be more than happy to remove any copywrighted content that is on my website. If you are aware of which pages contain copywrighted content, please let me know and I'll take it down (or if the author prefers to leave it up to promote her book or website, I can also add a link to her site if she'd like.) My intention is not to steal content from other people. Most of the spells on my website (if it's the spells you are refering to) are offered on many other websites and do not tend to have the author's name on them, so it can be difficult to know whether they are copyrighted or not. But I'm happy to give credit to the author or remove the page altogether if someone claims that it is their content. Thanks for letting me know. What book were you suggesting that I read?

Bright Blessings,
Heather

Re: Copywrite infringement

Hi Jacqueline,

Thank you for giving me this information. I guess a lot of people would prefer the drama of telling the author about it first and having her confront me about it, but I guess they would be disappointed when I simply removed the material and didn't fight to the death to keep it, lol. You're a good person for helping both me and the author to avoid that stress.

I went ahead and removed both of the spells in question. Thanks again for your help!

Brightest blessings,
Heather

You are about to enter a world of unbelievable power. The staggering potential possible by using the information found on this site is not to be taken lightly. To do so, would be more than fool-hardy; it would be dangerous in ways most people can barely comprehend.

Understand that magick is not some parlor game. The magick contained here is not something for bored teenagers to play with when their Ouija boards and tarot cards no longer amuse. This web site is a guide to power unimaginable. Take a moment and think about those words. Power. Unimaginable.

The products we offer are signposts to all worldly desires. They are the basis for a system of sorcery that both created and destroyed the greatest empires of the ancient world. The information, products, and formulas contained here date back to at least 5,000 B.C. They are among the oldest human records, both cursed and praised. Their exact origin remains a mystery today, known to none.

Get free spells and rituals
in your email!

All that is known is as follows: they were created, used, and maintained through the millennia by the Yoruba Africans. The deities in them are used to invoke the power of the ancient deities. The proper term for these gods is "Forces of Nature," which translates as "force of light (or power)." In some aspects, they resemble the Egyptian, Greek, and Roman gods, and in some, the Catholic saints and even the ideas behind the cabalistic Tree of Life. It is a religion that predates all others and from which these others may have freely borrowed over the centuries.

Understand that the spells you are about to work with are as simple and effective as they were at the dawn of human recorded history. They predate books, scrolls, and even alphabets. Their simplicity makes them deceptively dangerous. Do not be fooled by the simple nature of the spells. We have done all the work so you can achieve maximum results with ease. The ancients worked by knowing; you will know how.

Soon you will know that what we offer here will give you power without limit. If you don't think you can handle something, it is certain you can't. Be careful. Be certain. Do nothing out of frivolity. The price of arrogance is destruction. Always.

Dark Powers Personalities of Hell: The Dark Powers Being a selection of fictional and mythical gods of evil, presented here in On Hallowed Ground format for the delectation of players and DMs alike. I have included references for the sources I have used in researching these powers. This is a companion piece to Personalities of Heaven and Personalities of Hell. More powers may appear here in time... The Dark Lord of Baator The Dark Lord of Baator Moloch Moloch King of Hinnom Lesser Power, "King of Hinnom" sacrifices AoC: Control, the need to make sacrifices, rogue baatezu. AL: LE evil WAL: Any evil Symbol: A ring of fire Home P/L/R: Gehenna/Khalas/Topheth of Hinnom Known Proxies: None ring of fire Moloch is the former Lord of the Sixth Hell (Monster Manual II). Quite why he left Baator for Gehenna is uncertain. Some say he was expelled in a coup d'etat. Others say he actually became too powerful for his job, which is unlikely. A particularly sinister, but not unlikely, rumour, says that he is duping rogue baatezu into working for him, while he still reports to the Dark Lord in Nessus. Moloch is a cruel and strict power, and he is claiming overlordship of all Gehenna. Many say he must be a yugoloth spy, or the 'loths would have kicked him out long ago. His followers number human cultists who make foul sacrifices to him, just because he says so, rogue baatezu looking to found a new kingdom, and according to rumour, two baatoran nobles. His realm is in the heart of Khalas, far from most of the warzones, and it is called Topheth after one of Moloch's favoured Prime sites. 'Hinnom' has meaning similar to 'Gehenna', as in the Outlands town of Gehennom. Source: Paradise Lost, with PS alterations. 'Topheth' is from 2 Kings 23:10. Paradise Lost Nastrond Spirit of Darkness Greater Power, "The Spirit of Darkness" end of the world AoC: The end of the world, especially Ragnarok Ragnarok AL: CE Abyss of Ragnarok WAL: Any evil, also some CN. Especially xvart (MC14) Symbol: Grey wolf, or a fanged skull with a red eight-armed chaos symbol on the forehead Home P/L/R: Abyss/4/Abyss of Ragnarok Morthbrood Known Proxies: Some mara (MC11), and the Morthbrood, a universe-wide cult of evil magic-users. Nastrond is an evil power who is dedicated to hastening the advent of Ragnarok. He spans both the Celtic and Norse pantheons, and is also a principal power of the xvart, who also follow the Morrighan and an Acherian power called Raxivart. Nastrond has in the past mainfested as a huge wolf spirit, but has never sent a real avatar to the Prime. Instead, he often works alongside the Morrighan, who would surely benefit from a huge war, which is exactly what Ragnarok is. To this end, she sometimes sends an avatar to lead the Morthbrood. Nastrond's realm is a place of utter blackness, where even the tanar'ri fear to tread. It is rumoured to contain many mara. As a note, observe that Nastrond is not identical with Fenris Wolf, but rather draws on the imagery evoked by such a potent planar evil. svart-alfar A note may be added concerning the xvart. The name 'xvart' is a contraction of svart-alfar, a word identical in meaning to 'drow'. It may therefore be suggested that both have similar origins. Weight is added to this idea by the fact that both xvart and good drow worship Celtic/Norse cross-pantheon powers. (that's Wayland, not Eilistraee.) Weirdstone of Brisingamen Source: The Weirdstone of Brisingamen by Alan Garner. I have no idea whether or not Garner invented Nastrond, but I was amused by the separate appearance of both svarts and mara in Monstrous Compendiums. Nastrond is also the name of Hel's hall in Niflheim. Monstrous Compendiums Nastrond, the Spirit of Darkness is probably copyright Alan Garner, and the information provided here is a summary for reference purposes and not intended as a challenge to that copyright. Ravana Ravana Demon King Intermediate Power, "Demon King" evil spirits AoC: Rakshasas, evil spirits AL: LE WAL: LE, NE Symbol: Tiger's mask Vault of the Waters Home P/L/R: Acheron/Avalas/Vault of the Waters rakshasas Known Proxies: None Ravana is the king of the rakshasas, the fiendish race from Acheron who are the implacable enemies of the other Vedic gods. He can change his shape at will, assuming any form he chooses. His favourite form is said to be that of a rakshasa like a sabre-toothed tiger with 10 heads and 20 arms. Ravana is also said to be immune to the weapons of his enemy, Vishnu. Not all rakshasas serve him - some are loyal to Kali, or act independently, but there are thousands who worship Ravana. In the beginning, Ravana was given the guardianship, along with the rest of the rakshasas, of the first waters of the universe. These they hoarded, and their abuse of their responsibility has made them infamous. Ravana is a cruel and jealous god, and seeks to extend his power in Acheron. Acheron Source: Indian mythology. My specific source is Dr Jan Knappert's Indian Mythology, part of the Encyclopedia of Myth and Legend series. Tartarachus Lesser Power, "Dark Angel of Captivity" AoC: Carceri AL: N(C)E WAL: CE, NE, Jailbreakers, the Disposessed Indian mythology Symbol: Set of black manacles Home P/L/R: Carceri/Agathys/Divine Justice (or 'Cold Day in Hell') Agathys Known Proxies: None Tartarachus Tartarachus may once have been a celestial ruler, a Faerie Power or a Crown Archon as Triel once was. But for as long as anyone can remember, he has been in Carceri. His transgression in the Heavens is unknown, but for it he was imprisoned in Carceri, or Tartarus as it was then known. He, far more than Her Serenity the Lady of Pain, is the image of gaoler and gaoled, torturer and tortured, captive and captor. None has ever escaped his realm, so none can testify to his appearance, but wild human tribes in Carceri and other eccentric worshippers of his say that he is like a great solar, but with skin like jet, bound in iron fetters and breathing fire. He has been a long-time rival of Apomps, and some tales say that the two came to Agathys together, or at least at the same time. Perhaps the disagreements amongst the eldest yugoloths sparked an unwanted debate on the celestial mountain? Tartarachus' worshippers kill gehreleths on sight, if they can. Nessus From early Christian writings. Tartarachus is usually depicted as being Satan, but I think he makes a suitable character separately from the Dark Lord of Nessus, usually identified with Asmadai and Satan.

edit them to remove or obscure the Lucky Mojo branding on the items shown,
clearly visible in the enlarged versions of the photos. At least they're

I hope I'm wrong about this ... but Miss Cat please go to http://www.spellsofmagic.com/spells -- look at the Fiery Wall of Protection spell Miss Cat.
There is a spellcaster with a 561 area code which is West Palm Beach, although I am not certain this is her site. I did not see a list under the wholesalers for "Florida". (here at home Lucky Mojo).
Apparently the company is located in Pennsylvania. 717- I just googled the name of it.
I have this printed. It says it was created by user 18649, and this appears to be some type of forum. There is a place to report on this (that site) site for copywrite infringement.
Again I hope I'm wrong.

So sometimes she does put LuckyMojo website address at the bottom of a few posts, but often she will not. She is also using the images from the LM site as well. She says she has been a practicing witch for 20 years (she is 33) however she has never heard of copyright infringement and apparently sees nothing wrong with plagiarism...and then taking credit for words that are clearly not hers...

I will warn you to shut the sound on your computer off unless you want to be serenaded by the loud music she has automatically start playing when you go to read her blog. I almost threw my laptop in frustration. Hope you can get those pages removed! There were many more, but this is the iceberg tip. Yuck.

Ugh. Looks like her entire blog is just ripped from so many sources.

This post: http://ravenzvoodoolounge.blogspot.com/ ... ation.html

---has been copied, pasted and stripped of a numbered system guide, however is verbatim the copyrighted page here:

http://www.paganspath.com/meta/sprtmed.htm

WOW! :shock: :o

And this page of hers: http://ravenzvoodoolounge.blogspot.com/ ... altar.html
is a direct copy of the copyrighted page: http://www.holistic-therapies.ca/newsle ... ?newsid=71

This from LM with blues lyrics and everything: http://ravenzvoodoolounge.blogspot.com/ ... o-hid.html

A TON of the random posts are directly taken from another woman's blog and credited to "Author unknown." You can"t hide from Google search though! :)

That's some good sleuthing, Joseph.

(BTW, it's copyright and copyrighted. Refers to the right to copy, not copied writing.)

Wonderful work Joseph. At the top left of the blog you'll find a button that says "report abuse" if you click and follow the instructions you can report each of those pages for plagerism. It is a bit of work because you'll have to do each page separately while showing where it was ripped from but if you do it, they'll take the pages down.

Thank you all!

MissMichaele: I KNOW! The spell check goes in and does a number..."Copyright!" I think I am right and then spell check will make me second guess myself... Thank you for pointing out the error.

ConjureMan Ali: Thank you for the info. I will be doing just that....maybe tomorrow as my day today is FULL, but I will be reporting each page.

I have been trying to get those pages reported this morning but keep getting this message from Blogger/Google:
In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), we only accept copyright complaints from content owners or someone officially authorized to act on their behalf. If you have legal questions about the DMCA (the text of which can be found at the U.S. Copyright Office Web Site, http://www.copyright.gov), please consult your own legal counsel.
This is the option it gives me before showing the "In accordance..." text:
Are you the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf?

No, I am not sure if I am authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf
Yes, I am the copyright owner or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed
Do I have to contact every single person this girl has plagiarized and get them to give me authorization to report this? Ugh...

cat, do I have your authorization to go after this girls specific Lucky Mojo pages? If so, thank you and I will get right on it!

This came to my PM while I was in California. Odessa could not post it to the "Copywrite Violation Section" and neither could I, as there was not a way that I found to "post a reply".
I am just making sure you receive the message Miss Cat to see if any of your work has been stolen.
Thank you and thanks to Odessa for looking out. Please read below. Thank you.

Hi Miss Tammie Lee,

I ran across a site today called www.scribd.com. While looking through an internet search for items on Hoodoo I found some pages linked to this site for Luckymojo and some of Miss Cat's. This website allows for downloads of works in PDF files.

I was going to let her know about this, but I see there is no way to contact her on the forum through messages. I also can't post anything under the Copyright forum to bring this to attention. Is there anyway you can let her know that there may be an issue with this site? I see there is a number of things on this site that are in possible copyright violations from many other authors I have read.

Thanks.
Odessa

Hello my friends,

As many of you know I spend long periods of time writing content for
my website and my blog. These investments of personal time and energy
are the success to my online shop and conjure business. But good
writing is all too tempting for folks to steal. I recently found a
blog based in India that has been taking my content and is posting it
in completion on their blog. I've already had Google take down several
of their pages and now I'm going after their account.

If you want to know a quick way to check and see if your content has
been stolen by other websites, here's a trick.

Sign up for, and implement Google Analytics
(http://analytics.google.com). This will tell you where most of your
traffic is coming from. If you look through the traffic sources,
particularly the "referrals", you can see all of the other sites that
are pointing at your site.

If you see a foreign URL, (for example joeshoodooshop.com) you can
then go to Google.com and search for the following:

site:joeshoodooshop.com yourcontent

Replace joeshoodooshop.com with the website that's pointing to your
site, and replace "yourcontent' with something from your site. I
typically search for conjuredoctor as that's my website's URL.
Invariably it will show me the exact page and instance on their site
that is pointing to my content. This is how I found the offending
thieves who stole my material and reported them. It's a good way,
also, to see who is pointing to your site with a link back (not
stealing content just pointing at your site).

Try it! You'll like it.
Blessings,
Dr. E.
