Hi from the UK

[Naomi Jacobs]

Hi all - just wanted to post a quick introduction. I've spent quite a lot of time on the Lucky Mojo website and listening to the podcast, but I haven't used the forum before. My main interest is European folk magic, especially (what's left of) the Irish Gaelic folk-magical tradition - which involves digging things up from lots of different sources. But I have also done some small-scale hoodoo work over the past year or so, inspired by the podcast, and by a few friends who are involved in conjure. I find it very interesting, and I look forward to reading more about it here at the forums.

Yay! So happy to be the first one to extend a GREAT BIG, over-the-pond, WELCOME and Hello! Very nice to see that you have joined. Happy reading.

[Naomi Jacobs]

Thanks, Joseph!

[Joseph Magnuson]

You are most welcome, Sophia.

Hi Sophia Catherine,

let me join Joseph in wishing you a warm welcome to the Forum. I highly recommend that if you're new to hoodoo you begin by reading the veritable copendium of information that Miss Cat has made available in her on-line book of Hoodoo in Theory and Practice here: http://www.luckymojo.com/hoodoo.html

[Naomi Jacobs]

Thanks, Aura - I use it quite often, and I have her 'Hoodoo Herb and Root Magic' here at home

Hi, Sophia! If you have any questions, let us know.

Sophia,

Hello and welcome.

If you are interested in hoodoo, here are some links for you. Read these pages for more preliminary information:

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

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

Baths:

Powders:

Conditions and how we can address them:

Please 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 n 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 they 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 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, outside the board help.

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 of which you may have previously been a member).
