Lucky Mojo Forum

Howdy Folks,

Very excited to get my forum profile up and running. I'm a conjurer based out of sunny southern california. I am interested in all sorts magical practices and philosophical musings. What caught me about hoodoo is the practical folk magic approach to everyday problems. I enjoy imploring the spirits and becoming a more conscious and aware root worker.

I've met quite a few of you at this year's Hoodoo Workshop gathering at Lucky Mojo in Forestville. Really enjoyed Khi Armand's "hands on hoodoo" and Dr. E with his presentation on "rustic oil lamps". Thanks for all the workshops and wealth of knowledge shared over dinner. Everyone put so much effort into that weekend it blew my mind, thank you for making it so much more then worthwhile.

A little more about my ancestry. I come from one side Appalachian heritage and the other side is Sicilian. My magical practices follow suit. I am working hard on developing my divination skills when "throwing the bones" as they speak to me with much ease.

I'm happy to be part of this community and can't wait to grow with ya'll. Cheers!

X Juju

Now that you are here in our forum, please take a moment to notice that the board is divided into four parts:

1) News and Announcements about the Lucky Mojo Curio Company and this site.

2) Lucky Mojo Spiritual Supplies and how to use them, listed in threads by product type and product title.

3) Life Conditions and Situations, with recommended Lucky Mojo products, spells, and advice.

4) The Online Hoodoo Community, including sites, events, and outreach sponsored by Lucky Mojo.

When you post, it helps your moderators, who are recompensed volunteers, if you post in the area of the board that is best suited to the archival of your question or comment. That way moderators will not have to move your post or merge it into ongoing threads.

If you can't find a post you made, it may have been moved or merged. Go to your profile by clicking on your name and "search recent posts" -- you will find it.

Within each board section there are STICKY threads -- ones that always stay "stuck" to the top. These are popular discussion-threads that you can read and add to if your questions or comments fall into one of these oft-broached topics. If you don't see a "sticky" that relates to your question, feel free to start a new thread in the relevant section.

We do have a few "thou shalt not" rules here, and they can be found in the Forum Rules link at the top of each page. Most important for newbies are these four common errors to avoid:

1) Please do not come here asking for our formulas for conjure oils or for instructions on how to use spiritual supplies that you bought at a grocery store or at a competitor of ours; this is the Lucky Mojo Forum and is financially supported by the Lucky Mojo Curio Co.

2) Please do not spam the moderators by sending multiple duplicated private messages asking for personal help outside the board; many of our moderators do perform readings and rootwork spell-casting for clients, but they are professionals and you should approach them as you would any other professional.

3) Please do not post illegal copies of material from other web sites or from books.

4) Please do not post put-downs of any group of people based on their religion, race, or national origin, including derogatory comments about religions to which you may have previously been an adherent or comments in which you seek to falsely conflate any religion with the practice of evil sorcery.

Welcome to the forums.
