Lucky Mojo Forum

Hello fellow forum-members,

having just registered, I'd like to introduce myself.

I am an academic historian of folk magic concentrating on the European early modern period (c. 1500-1700), as well as a magical practitioner, based in the UK. I've thoroughly enjoyed digging through this forum and the fascinating Hoodoo in Theory and Practice pages for a few years now, and recently felt it was time I began taking my involvement with Hoodoo more seriously, and seeking more interactions with and edification from the variety of experts and students on here.

I hope to work towards taking the Correspondence Course, although I am not in any hurry to rush my way through the rich, vast depths of traditional Hoodoo. Having experience of both sides of teaching and mentoring in academic institutions, I have a great deal of respect for pedagogical propriety and the importance of attentive and conscientious scholarship.

That said, I'm also very excited to be here!

All the best,

M.

Here is some info on how the forums are set up. It 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! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

I join the other posters an add my welcome to the forum. Also, have you considered scheduling an hour to listen to the The Lucky Mojo Rootwork Hour?

Thank you for the orientation, Miss Aida, and thank you for making me feel so welcome, Mama Micki and jwncclin!

I am indeed a big fan of the LMHRWH radioshow. It's wonderful to learn about reading and rootwork techniques on such a practical, tailored level. I'm also particularly fond of the panel discussions.
