It helps very much, thank you. I feel less like I'm grasping at straws. I think I will study and experiement a bit more, and focus, as you say, on the methods that suit me. Thanks, again.

I've been growing considerably more interested hoodoo and rootwork over the past few days. I've read the majority of the content of Hoodoo In Theory and Practice on this website. I live in Memphis, Tennessee, so I'm sure I'm in the area of some good hoodoo, how should I go about beginning a practice here? And what's a good basic list of items I should collect to begin?

Unread post by **Mama Micki** » Sun Mar 18, 2012 7:03 am

I suggest that you start by purchasing the book Hoodoo Herb and Root Magic by Catherine Yronwode, the owner of Lucky Mojo. Buy a hardcover copy if you can afford it.

kyleskonjure · Unread post by **kyleskonjure** » Sun Mar 18, 2012 7:16 am

I was planning on buying a copy later today. I was just going to get a general idea in my head of what kind of different herbs, oils, various hoodoo paraphernalia, etc. would be good to get as a beginner.

Wild at Heart · Unread post by **Wild at Heart** » Sun Mar 18, 2012 11:47 am

Your best bet before starting a practice is to apprentice with someone who has already been doing this for years, getting some hands-on experience. This is spiritual doctoring; you can read and listen and observe all you want, but when it comes to working on and helping people other than yourself you'll be in a better place to help them by getting some hands-on training. Lucky Mojo does offer an online course (I believe it lasts a year), and a follow up in-person course as well as meet-ups.

Edit:
Stocking up on cleansing and protection products and herbs would be a start- IMO they're one of the most important parts of laying down your foundation. http://www.herb-magic.com/ As well as cat's previously mentioned book detail the uses of these herbs.

kyleskonjure · Unread post by **kyleskonjure** » Sun Mar 18, 2012 2:13 pm

What's the easiest way to find someone to apprentice under? And I went out and bought a few oils and the Hoodoo Herb and Root Magic book.

Is it not acceptable to teach yourself, or is it just something that isn't often done?

Also, by practice I mean personal practice (to benefit myself, friends and family), not as a business.

kyleskonjure, this forum is for Lucky Mojo customers and clients so any advice here will reference Lucky Mojo. With that said, miss cat offers an apprenticeship to graduates [in good standing] of her correspondence course. I am posting the correspondence course information (http://www.luckymojo.com/mojocourse.html) and apprenticeship information (http://www.luckymojo.com/apprenticeship.html).

Unread post by **starsinthesky7** » Sun Mar 18, 2012 8:01 pm

For some people an apprenticeship is easy if you have access to that, and many people learn differently.

Now when you say rootwork practice, do you mean like a business or store?

If you do, well I would say you need to have a journey of learning my friend before doing that. I would definitely get enrolled in the Hoodoo course BEFORE doing anything else. From my own story, I kind of went backwards before I even knew about the hoodoo course, and that is okay if you are reading and learning that way too. But you will have the solid foundation of hoodoo if you take the course first.

I would begin by doing simple candle spells for yourself, and/or trying out spells from the HHRM book. Keeping a journal is key too. So you can keep track of your successes and failures (yes they happen to all of us).

But the course is the best way to go , and there are a list of products you have to buy before you can actually enroll in the course.

kyleskonjure · Unread post by **kyleskonjure** » Mon Mar 19, 2012 7:42 am

Not a business no, maybe in time, but that's all in the future. I mean a personal practice that will benefit mine as well as my family and friends lives.

Unread post by **starsinthesky7** » Mon Mar 19, 2012 7:50 am

I would still begin with the Hoodoo course. Its a great way of learning things the right way and good foundation. The products you will buy for the course (even if you do not start the course at the time) will help you to become familiar with hoodoo. I would buy the HHRM book as well and learn the basics from the lucky mojo pages.

www.luckymojo.com/hoodoo.html is a great place to start.

Yeah, pretty much. I can only advise so far. That said, if you will it, you will find a way. The LM courses are one of those ways. Also take a look at their radio show on Blog Talk Radio, you will get a feel and a sense of how a variety of rootworkers work, and how they interpret and doctor problems.

kyleskonjure,

The first thing you ought to do, before even reading books, is to learn about our terminology and ways of talking.

You started a thread called "Looking to Begin a Rootwork Practice," but when people here who actually do have rootwork practices gave you advice, you turned around and said you actually just want "a personal practice that will benefit mine as well as my family."

So let's start with temrinology. What you were asking is "how to learn to practice rootwork," and not "how to start a rootwork practice."

"A rootwork practice" is a professional case-load, generally conducted through a home office or shop, either for donations or for payment.

"To practice rootwork" is to work according to the traditions of conjure to help yourself , family, and perhaps friends.

To learn to practice rootwork for yourself, your family, and friends, on an as-needed basis, at a relatively relaxed pace, accumulating information over the course of many years, you can:

* study by reading internet forums such as this one,
http://forum.luckymojo.com

* study by reading web pages, such as "Hoodoo in Theory and Practice":
http://luckyojo.com/hoodoo.html

* listen to the Lucky Mojo Hoodoo Rootwork Hour, in which practioners prescribe or callers:
http://blogtalkradio.com/luckymojohoodoorootworkhour

* subscribe to the monthly Lucky Mojo Newsletter
http://archive.constantcontact.com/fs00 ... 70289.html

* hang out socially and exchange information with local practitioners,

* pick up ideas from other customers in local candle shops,

* ask questions of local candle shop owners,

* make friends with local professional practitioners,

* travel around the country visiting various practitioners, candle shops, and spiritual workers,

* pay for spiritual coaching and rootwork advice by telephone or email
http://readersandrootworkers.org/wiki/C ... ork_Advice

* pay for magical coaching by telephone in order to learn about specific types of work,
http://readersandrootworkers.org/wiki/C ... l_Coaching

* hire professionals to perform jobs for you which you can then learn to perform yourself.
http://readersandrootworkers.org

If you want to learn at an accelerated rate and in an orderly manner, you can

* take a course, such as mine, or

* apprentice yourself to a professional practitioner. such as myself

-- but those are not necessary steps.

Good luck.

I'm really just getting into a concentrated study of hoodoo rootwork, and I'm also in the Memphis area. Drop me an email off list, if you want. Maybe we can talk about it.

I'm just waiting on a few more supplies to arrive before I apply for Miss Cat's course. From what I've heard, it's the way to go if you really want to learn. And I can't say enough good things about Lucky Mojo products.

Wow, thanks! Terminology is often an issue for me in day to day life because I have a strong center in etymology/english and I tend to make up my own words or turn my own phrases if I don't know the correct one off the top of my head.

And DixieFlatline: that's awesome, I figured there had to be at least a good little concentration of Hoodoos in Memphis.

When you do not have time-- find it. When you do not think there is enough money-- or money at all-- find it. Give from your heart like there is no tomorrow. Give to others unconditionally, set lights, do what you need to do and help people.

Do it from your heart and expect nothing in return-- not even a thank you. Be Humble. Just help.

Here comes the first of many posts.

Recently, a friend of mine died in a car crash. She had a child with a disability.
I will never forget what he said to me a few short weeks ago, and I have worked in a funeral home and spoken to Mother's burring their son's even on Christmas Eve-- so I have seen it-- I have witnessed it.

He said, "We are going to put Mommy in the ground tomorrow. We are going to bury her." (This is a quote from a young adult)

Let's donate!!!

I dove in feet first with any free time, there is really no such thing-- as time is the biggest commodity in my life-- I dove right in anyway.
Because time is my biggest commodity, I knew I needed help.
You should NOT be surprised with who you meet here in The Forum. You really never know who you will meet!

There are so many generous people who want to help children and causes.

Help came in a heartbeat! If given permission, I will post who helped this cause, but many people and members of AIRR help children Thank God!

We are part of a Grand friendship y'all. Yes the products are perfect, but the people and the Members of AIRR are Grand also!

By the way, I worked Money Drawing, Attraction, and Crown of Success on all items up! I raised some money in just a few weeks-- and I did it because people CARED enough to help the kids!!!

Dust your business cards and any and all information y'all!!!

Draw the money to the cause!!!

Thank you for reading my share

To begin a ritual setting up my altar for removing any negativity which could interfere with the success of my work, I need these items.
1. Psychic and Spiritual Development Herb Candle
2. Power Oil
3. Holy Water
4. Aura of Enchantment Incense

Papa LeRoy Mystic,

Lucky Mojo does carry Psychic Vision products (your Item 1), including a vigil candle. All Lucky Mojo vigil candles are dressed with oil, herbs, and prayer.

For item #4, Aura of Enchantment, you might try Lucky Mojo's Attraction, Bewitching, or Master Key.

Some rootworkers can help you by doing work to bolster your own natural abilities OR they can instruct you on how to cultivate and use your gifts. Check out individual members of AIRR and see if someone offers these services and if you "click" with anyone in particular:

Starfinder, you can use any of the Psychic Vision products (http://www.luckymojo.com/psychicvision.html) to help with mediumship. Dress a white or blue candle with Psychic Vision oil and burn it along with some Psychic Vision incense. Pray for an increase in psychic ability, and ask the Lord to send helpful and benevolent spirits to help you. Also, check out the Missionary Independent Spiritual Church... most Spiritualist Churches offer guidence (through written materials or online forums, etc. for developing skills as a medium).

I am 46 yr old woman from the midwest who about 10 years ago became friends with a woman same age through our sons activities (she is from the coast).

after becoming friends we started discovering strange similarities.

Our birthdays are 1 month apart, ok, no biggie. We are both the 7th of 7 children, our fathers died the same year at a young age, our marriages have the same issues.

Since then it seems that if something happens to 1 of us it soon happens to the other. Be it personal or work related (we don't work together).

This year her beloved pet dog (age 13) developed diabetes , a month later mine also age 13 did the same. Hers went blind.....so did mine....... hers died tragically......mine followed.

The similarities have become so pronounced that it is getting past creepy. We are not dramatic people and honestly try to avoid it...

Can anyone give me a clue to all this?

You titled your post "mischievous spirits," but I see no evidence of hag-riding, spiritual attack, or haunting in your account.

You then re-titled your post"Have a friend who is like a twin sister." The two of you were born a month apart, so your astrological charts would look very different -- but there are planetary influences that persist for far longer than the sun signs (your "birth sign") that are so widely known. I'm not an astrologer myself, so I can't explain any better than that.

If you want to investigate this on a spiritual level, book an appointment with a skilled diviner, such as the fine folks at AIRR.

Hello everyone,

I have been a lurker on the Lucky Mojo site and a listener to the radio show off and on for a couple of years. My main interest has been psychic development and divination. I have been able to have contact with my own deceased family members, but have never been able to have spirit contact (that I know of anyway) and get messages for others, which is something I really want to learn how to do. I recently ordered Psychic Vision, Spirit Guide, and Clarity oils from Lucky Mojo and began working with them, mostly by anointing my third eye. I also ordered some althea after reading about its properties. I placed some in a bowl next to a bowl of water on my altar early last week.

Within three days, I had a vivid dream that really shook me up. I didn't understand it at the time, but found out later on the day after I had the dream that a friend of my significant other had passed away, and the dream was a message for him. The person in my dream was the person who had passed away (that I had never met) and I was able to confirm this after seeing his picture on the funeral home's website. I was absolutely blown away. My significant other is open minded but yet very skeptical about these things, and I had been praying for a long time that I could help him truly understand that our loved ones are still with us after they pass.

This experience has made a huge impact on both of our spiritual lives. I firmly believe that these products from Lucky Mojo gave me the extra "push" that I needed. I am looking forward to learning more about hoodoo and developing my intuition even more. This stuff works, people!!

Blessings to all of you at Lucky Mojo for all that you do!

Thank you so much, Joseph!

It was a very touching and humbling experience. It's one thing to experience these things for yourself, but to be able to help someone else by giving them a message from the other side, well, that was one of the most gratifying things I have ever done.

I have also worked a few spells here and there for myself for love, money, and clarity and have had some success, but this experience by far was the most amazing. I have ordered products from other companies that ended up looking and smelling artificial. The things I have ordered from Lucky Mojo are the real deal, and I am excited about working with LM products even more in the future!

I am putting together a spell to increase psychism and would like some advice, input, or tips.

In my metal singing bowl I have combined flax seed, spearmint, passion flower, star anise, celery seed, bay leaf, dandelion root, tobacco and whiskey. I have also made a name paper with my written wish to increase my psychic ability for use in spell-work and life. I have left all of these ingredients, the paper, three drops of PSYCHIC VISION OIL and also a scarab talisman to "marinate" for lack of a better word and will set all things, in exception to the scarab, alight at night under the moon breathing in the sents and praying aloud my petition once more. Afterwards, whatever ash is left in the bowl I plan to rub into the scarab and keep it on me thereafter.

Am I forgetting anything that could also aid in the success of this spell? Everyone's advice would be very much appreciated.

Love,
Mamaki
