Greetings To Everyone From Sunny Florida

[rgar2347]

Hello Everyone,

My Name is and I am both happy and honored to be joining a great community such as this one!

I am originally from Florida the Tampa Bay area and just here of late the last 6-7 months have I begin to search for an understanding concerning the direction in which my life seems to be heading. I am 47 years young 48 in a few weeks, a mother of four adults 2 young men and 2 ladies with nine spectacular grand children whom I cherish and adore, recently divorced and a creative analyzer & free thinker (probably why I'm divorced!) I am an entrepreneur, always trying to put things together to help others as I have a non profit organization geared towards offering transitional housing and other services to ex offenders and those less fortunate. It is my passion for some odd reason i have never been able to explain to place others before myself, and now i am just realizing oops what about me?

After my divorce I really started to take a look at my unhappy life, not understanding how after all I gave to others that I could find myself in such an unhappy existence. I was angry, angry at God because I figured he knew that I gave everything in my marriage and although I had imperfections they were minimal in comparison to the few associates I allowed to share my space with. I'm initiated in Santeria and still searching because i believe that there is always more. I have read tons of post here and already I feel at home and decided to plant myself here because I believe I will continue to evolve and grow, there is something about the mystery of magic that I feel as though I am drawn too.

I have visited the original Lucky Mojo site for a few years reading the various spells and other information contained on the site with not a true and clear explanation for why. I grew up watching my mother do certain things and to be honest thought that people who conducted such practices were evil; of course I was a child and it wasn't until I started researching and reading things for myself that I truly understood that I had only come to a conclusion that was planted into my mind at a very young age. Now as an adult I am happy because Knowledge is certainly power! Some of the things in which I have learned from visiting the Lucky Mojo site and book reading on subjects from candle-burning, herbs and root magic pertaining to Hoodoo is simply amazing!

Prayerfully, I will make lasting friends here and look forward to interacting.

Hi Ronda and Welcome to the Forum.

I suggest that you take the time to read Miss Cat's on-line book on Hoodoo in Theory and Practice here if you haven't already raced through it : http://www.luckymojo.com/hoodoo.html

Here are a few of the most popular pages for you to browse, they'll get you started. And, some forum rules that we ask everybody to read.

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

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

Baths:
http://luckymojo.com/baths.html

Powders:
http://luckymojo.com/powders.html

Incense:

Candles:
http://luckymojo.com/candlemagic.html

Herbs:

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.
