Greetings from France!

Hi everyone!
Don't really know how to introduce myself, my english is pretty poor though I understand it well...
But let's give it a try...
I'm a corsican girl living in Paris, I worked a few years for an esoteric onlineshop, as a craftswoman (I was making books of shadows, runes, wands, dolls, and also worked on some ritual kits etc... ).. I assume it may sounds a little odd... Anyway.. I'm familiar with some differents practises, such as european witchcraft, wicca, neoshamanism, vaudou, hoodoo... Though I can't really say that I'm from one tradition or another. I tend to follow my "instincts" and take what I find interesting in every kind of beliefs and practises. However hoodoo seems to be the only tradition I really find similar to my personal practises, in many ways. That's why I'd like to join this community to learn about hoodoo and what it's really like, and share with practionners. Not having a tradition to refer to can sometimes appears to be a "messy spiritual business", (not sure if I'm clear) so pardon me if I say anything that looks inappropriate, I'm struggling a bit with english...
Ok I think that's enough for now, have a good day everyone, I'm looking forward to sharing with you on the forum.
:D :arrow:

Thanx for welcoming me :)
I read the online book last year, that's why I registered on the forum at first (took me a while to decide to participate...)
At the time, I wanted to take the correspondance course, but regarding my current location, it would have been too complicated for me to complete some peculiar assignments...
And for the hoodoo herb and root magic book, it will soon be on my shopping list, for I've been planning to buy it long ago...

Bienvenue ma chère! Nice to have a fellow ''Frenchie'' on-line :) Definitely jump on Hoodoo Herb Magic as Miss Tammie Lee has suggested: c'est rendu une de mes références préférées.

Blessings.

Thank you all :)
Svarthyndan, I only know Stockholm, but I loved it so much, hope I could see more of your beautiful country.
How did you manage to graduate the courses ? (I find it quite difficult to find african-american people here, to complete the 2nd assignment...)

Welcome! I believe that Miss Cat allows students outside the US to complete the interview assignment with an African-American by email.
