It is going to be a wonderful time! This will be the first Workshop Weekend I will have to miss of the last three, so I urge everyone who can to go join the group and fill my space!

I have never had any less than a spectacular time at the Workshop Weekends. Plus, it's great to put faces to names, etc. Get on this!

Are these workshops something an interested newbie could attend or would it be wiser to wait until finishing the correspondence course?

Unread post by **Papa Newt** » Sun Dec 23, 2012 10:47 am

The Missionary Independent Spiritual Church's Workshops are open to everyone. It is the Lucky Mojo Apprenticeship, which is the week before the M.I.S.C. Workshop weekend, that you would have to be a graduate of the Correspondence Course to attend. The Workshops are a wonderful resource available and would encourage you to attend. If so, I'll see you out there!

Blessings

That's the plan Papa Newt!!!

...and yes, everyone is encouraged to attend! This is another great way to bring our community together as well. It is an opportunity to meet and greet at "Home Lucky Mojo"-- the most magical place on Earth

Awesome links Papa Newt!!!

Be Blessed y'all,

Miss Tammie Lee

If anything, octobersometimes, I think the Workshop Weekend could only HELP you really apply yourself to take/finish the Correspondence Course. I would not miss it for anything!

Are the 2013 workshops open for registration yet? I keep checking the site, but it does not look like you can sign up yet. Don't want to miss out!

Unread post by **catherineyronwode** » Sun Jan 13, 2013 1:56 pm

Dr. E. is working on the sign-up page and should have it ready soon. He has been interrupted in his task by the most wonderful of excuses -- he and his partner are moving in together to a new house in a city nearby where they both live and he is hauling altars, books, supplies, furniture, and candles there like crazy. He will get the sign-ups made by the end of January, i am sure, but instead of worrying, we shall llft a toast to the happy couple and say, HOORAY FOR LOVE!

Does anyone have recommendations on where to stay? I'm not familiar with the area and it's a 10 hour drive so where I stay will determine whether I drive or fly.

Spellkiss -- Uh-OH, thanks for the feedback. There is indeed something wrong with the coding for the tickets for the Queer Conjure Colloquium, and it erroneously says "tickets not available." Luckily, as it turns out, i have a skype meeting scheduled with Dr. E. (who coded the page) in about half an hour, so i will ask him to fix it ASAP. I will post back here when it is running right.

THANKS for your help!

I am not sure where to post this.

If anyone would like to cut costs on the trip to Forestville, CA for the workshop, and would like to share a hotel or rental car, message me. I will be flying in from Tulsa, OK.
Just a tought. Thank you.

Can't wait to attend this workshop.
Also, if people are interested in doing the apprenticeship programs, we could share hotel and retal car also.

Many Blessings,

Hello, I have a questions for the workshops, specially about the cook off, I would like to summit some recipes but all the information online has the dates from last year. When is the deadline for sending the recipes for this year, and do we bring the food on May 4 or 5? Can we bring the food already prepared instead of cooking there, just like last year?

Thanks,

Gabriela

Unread post by **Papa Newt** » Sun Mar 24, 2013 9:55 pm

Hi Gabriela10, the due date to submit you recipes is April 1st. You can also bring the prepared food with you for the Cook-Off.

Tasting the cook-off food is certainly a remembered highlight of mine from past Workshop Weekends. Delicious entries abound!

This just in -- Here is the cover for the 136 page compilation of all previous years'MISC Workshop hand-outs, spell-instructions, informational flyers, and more. It will look like this:

If you attend the May 4-5 2013 MISC Workshops in Forestville, California, you will receive a FREE copy of this all-new 2013 edition of The Black Folder -- 136 pages long. It is not on sale as i write this, but it will be available through our book store after the workshops.

It's almost ready to go to press, folks!

Here is a sneak-peak at the cover of Deacon Millett's brand new "Hoodoo Honey and Sugar Spells" book. It's 96 pages long and will retail for $9.00 -- a bargain, considering what it contains! Folks -- this is YOUR BOOK! a large part of the contents is drawn from the many questions asked -- and answered -- right here in the lucky Mojo Forum! That's right! The huge, unwieldy, massively complex Honey and Sugar Spells Questions and Answers Thread has been transferred in part into this ONE BOOK. (Minus the repetitions, minus the off-topic posts, minus the confusion -- in other words -- what you asked and what we answered is IN THIS BOOK now and forever!)

Plus you get an incredible opening section by Deacon Millett filled with recipes for making your own sugar scrubs, sweet bowl spells, and baths! Trust me, after this book comes out, the information you have always wanted will be available in one easy-to-read compendium.

Deacon Millett is teaching a workshop based on this new book at the MISC Workshops in Forestville, California, May 4-5, 2013, and all attendees of his class will get a FREE copy of the book and a spell that they will make.

If you live in California, this event, the kick-off for this soon-to-be-a-classic book, is something to put on your calendar. Deacon Millett will be signing books, of course, and we will be having an all-around party as well. Come on out and walk the newly installed labyrinth, get your free copy of The Black Folder (another new book, in its own thread), and take home Deacon Millett's contribution to hoodoo knowledge. Workshop information -- and ticket sales -- can be found here:

Thank you very much for your response Papa Newt; I forgot to ask one more question. Should I mail the recipes to the Lucky Mojo shop or it would be better to e-mail them? I am asking this because it is easy to copy them and paste them from an e-mail if you want to print them for the book.

Thanks again, I am very excited, this is my first time participating.

So jealous of the people that will be attending this year's Workshop Weekend! Especially with the unveiling of these two books. Alas, I will have to be content ordering the books and enjoying them on my own time.

The third book that will be given FREE to participating workshop attendees this is year is "The Art of Hoodoo Candle Magic," which -- along with a batch of candles and a dressing oil -- will be presented to everyone who takes my workshop class on candles

An advance look:

The publisher is Missionary Independent Spiritual Church, the book is 96 pages long, the retail price is $9.00, and this book will be available to shop customers at that price, but only AFTER the Workshops.

The workshops this year really are going to be one-of-a-kind. We have some amazing workshops planned, the release of three new books, and a chance to meet the members of AIRR as this year there will be more AIRR members then ever before. You really don't want to miss out on the workshops.

I personally have been working hard on my skull sorcery workshop and can tell you that I've got some great things in store for you all. I am also excited to be taking some great classes taught by my colleagues. I hope to see everyone there. Be sure to come up and say hi.

Carmela --

Wonderful!

This is going to be a very unusual Workshop Weekend, as we have so many AIRR members coming out, plus this year we will feature the introduction of FOUR new books and a 2-CD set as give-aways with classes. One of these books-- The Black Folder -- will be given free to EVERYONE WHO ATTENDS, and the other four items -- the Art of Hoodoo Candle Magic book, the Hoodoo Honey and Sugar Spells book, the Hoodoo Food! 2013 Conjure Cook-Off and Recipe Round-Up book, and the Hoodoo Jukebox CD-set-- will be given to those who attend various workshops -- and this is in addition to the usual workshop giveaways and spell-casting materials, including candles, oils, powders, and amulets.

See you there!

This year looks to be the biggest Workshops Weekend we have had yet! We are all pretty excited for it.

Unread post by **Sister Jacqueline** » Wed Apr 17, 2013 5:51 am

All,

We have finally confirmed our arrangements for the Hoodoo weekend and we have a large (possibly queen) Murphy pull down bed in the living room of the condo we are getting for the Friday through Sunday Hoodoo Weekend (May 3-4-5). A Murphy bed is a bed "hidden" in a wall that you pull down (if you did not know). There will be three other "hoodoo roomies" - all in the bedrooms. We did this last year and had a blast!

The price of the Murphy bed from Friday night to Sunday morning is $100.00.

You have access to a full bathroom, kitchen, laundry closet with fully functional machines, and a fully furnished condo in a park-like setting (but we'll be up at cat's anyway!). There are bed linens and towels, but you might want to bring extra anyway and I think there is a pool/hottub set up as well.

We usually eat out with the exception of morning, where we have bagels, fruit and juice/coffee before heading to Forrestville (the condo is in Windsor - just down the road). There is off-street parking, and you probably can carpool with us since we are all going to take classes.

Considering what hotels go for in the general area, this is a good deal.

If interested, please contact me off group at jacqueline (at) tarotbyjacqueline (dot) com and we can work out payment arrangements. All payments must be made in full before May 1st, and we can do this electronically through PayPal.

I wanted to thank Miss Cat, nagasiva, the presenters and all of the hard working folks in the shop for an AMAZING workshop weekend. It was my first time attending and I was blown away by all of the great information that was shared, all of the wonderful hands-on experiences, and the generosity of all the giveaways. Thank you all and I look forward to next year!

I really want to share with y'all that coming out to the workshops helps to "rejuvinate" you, especially if you do work for others. It is a chance not only to learn, but to bond with people in our community! The workshops are typically held in the month of May; it is a beautiful time of the year to go to Forestville and the month of May is our Miss Cat's birthday!!!

I am looking forward to seeing all of you who attended this year...next year; in addidtion, there will always be new bright faces to get to know in this great community!!!

Thank you Miss Cat, Nagasiva, all Lucky Mojo staff of friends and all of the memebers of AIRR who presented!!!

See you soon...

Being my third Workshop Weekend, I must say it never disappoints.

Great conversation, and great to finally put some faces to the names we see so often on our orders.

Maybe next year I will also be hosting a workshop, at least that is a goal I have in mind.

Just asking for planning on next year - if one is driving in, how is parking worked out? I have been to Lucky Mojo, including last Saturday! Sophie was very attentive and made quite sure I gave her due pets and attention!

I am just wondering if you have an agreement with the corner businesses, park down the street etc.

Looking forward to trying to go next year!
