Dead Links at Hoodoo History et al

Unread post by whitestar » Mon Nov 02, 2020 3:53 am

On https://www.luckymojo.com/hoodoohistory.html there is a paragraph with a link that doesn't seem to match up with the intent of the text.

"The influence that Natives had on rootwork is openly acknowledged, for the concept of the "powerful Indian" or "Indian Spirit" is endemic in conjure and crops up again and again in the names given to hoodoo herbal formulas and magical curios."

"Indian Spirit" links to https://www.luckymojo.com/moneyhouse.html which doesn't seem correct, given that the topic is only tangentially touched on...versus an entire article at https://www.luckymojo.com/indianspiritguide.html

ALSO

The formatting on https://www.luckymojo.com/moneyhouse.html is really screwed up. Header missing, article sandwiched between two footer sections.

Speculation on my part, but it looks like maybe it's the leftovers of an article from an earlier phase of site building that's been robbed out for other, improved articles?

More information about the Native American sources of hoodoo herbal and zoological curios can be found in my book "Hoodoo Herb and Root Magic."

The link is misspelled...it's missing the B in herb.

The use of Moon phases in spell-casting, astrological signs of the Zodiac in magical symbolism, and Planetary days of the week for timing of magic spells and recitation of Psalms, and Prayers -- derived from Jewish and Christian magical sources -- are all to be found in conjure, and moreso among practitioners who are urban or who have had access to books on those subjects.
https://www.luckymojo.com/hoodooastrology.html

Both links are for the same 404'd URL. Which is a shame, because that's an interesting topic.

However, although many African-American root doctors work with information about herbs and astrological magic derived from...

Same dead link as above.

4) The use of Moon phases and Moon signs in timing magic spells to "draw" or "repel" according to the Moon's waxing and waning and and understanding of Zodiacal and Planetary symbolism in spell-casting.

Same dead link as above.

The Book of Birthdays (Anon.) ( simple astrology for hoodoo use)

Another informant tells Hyatt to buy copies of certain books from the Dorene Publishing Company of Texas and even takes the time to spell out the company's name and address for him.

The plural S is missing at the end of the URL.
