Hello there from Illinois!

I am much looking forward to learning as much as I can about Hoodoo and Conjure.

Any information you can provide will be much appreciated as to where I can start learning about this subject.

Thanks,
Dimensions

Hello and welcome to the Lucky Mojo Forum, dimensions!

Because you have mentioned you want to learn more about Hoodoo and Conjure let me go ahead and provide some links from cat yronwode's "Hoodoo in Theory and Practice" for more preliminary information:

Hoodoo History:
http://luckymojo.com/hoodoohistory.html

Oils:
http://luckymojo.com/oils.html

Baths:

Powders:

Incense:

Candles:

Herbs:

Conditions and how we can address them:

Another helpful insight is to 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 us 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 helps all the moderators from having to move your post or merge it into an ongoing threads. It's always appreciated!

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.

Looking forward to seeing you around the forum!

Hi dimensions,

Start by reading Miss Cat's on-line book on Hoodoo in Theory and Practice (http://www.luckymojo.com/hoodoo.html), it's a good beginning. Get a few more books (The Black Folder, Hoodoo Herb and Root Magic, Miss Cat/Mikhaïl Strabo's Candle Magic book, Hoodoo Honey Jar and Sweetening Magic are good first investments) and some products to try from the shop (money, uncrossing and blessing work are good places to start if you're new to magic). Have a light set on the MISC altars, get a reading, use your products, it will all get you working and you'll start seeing how results manifest as well as where your aptitudes are.

If after that you find that the practice is a good fit, consider taking the Hoodoo Rootwork Correspondence Course

But most of all: enjoy.
