hello from Cornwall, uk

just dropping a line to say Hi.
I came here because I love the podcast, and It's teaching me so much.
I grew up fairly immersed in a UK traditional Witchcraft/Pantheist environment, and after many years feeling very secure in that, had New Orleans style Voodoo and Hoodoo kick my door down, basically. it always fascinated me, but for a long time I wouldn't reach out to the Lwa, as I've always been a bit uncomfortable with the way people will pick and choose from any culture. I felt I didn't have the cultural background to ask for their help, although I've always deep down felt they are very real.
when i finally reached out to them (when I was going through a tough time, and after the reassurance of a friend from Biloxi who knows a lot more about it all than I do. it's okay, just ask. only make sure you ask respectfully, it all worked out very well and very quickly, and I found a strong connection to Papa Legba, who now has a very beautiful shrine in my kitchen for the way he helped me out. and I love my shrine.
which then set me looking for Podcasts. I've always enjoyed podcasts. and the Lucky Mojo was one of the first ones I found, and I really enjoy it on a regular basis. I even take notes sometimes. it's wonderful.
and I'm here to see if the community is as lovely and warm and welcoming and sharing as the podcast makes it sound. I hope I can get to know you all, and maybe learn something too.
all the best.
