Hi all, I'll give this another shot - apologies if I'm duplicating.
I came upon Lucky Mojo and this great information after reading the Jason Miller books. I was born and raised in the rural south (just north of Memphis) and had always heard people refer to "hoodoo" or to "put the hoodoo" on someone. I thought it was a made up word and the later thought it was a bastardization of Voodoo. Little did I know that it was going on all around me. The woman that helped raise my father and his siblings and later me seemed to practice some for of this, thought I think mostly for the benefit of driving away snakes. I just thought it was all superstitious wives' tales.
Later I became involved in the new age, neo-pagan practices in LA and now am glad to find a magic that is tied to my regional and personal roots... (pun intended). Looking forward to being more involved in conjure practice and getting to know folks in the community.
