Greetings

[Vitki_Ulfsjaller]

Introducing myself. My name is James Moore, 48 year old GWM living with my partner in Charlotte, NC, on a 2.5 acre "estate" I nicknamed "Puccoon Hollow," owing to the plethora of puccoon, the Tsalagi (Cherokee) name for bloodroot, which grows on the property. I have been studying and/or dabbling in various forms of magic, folk magic, hedge and kitchen witchery since I was quite young.

My background includes associations with a Macumba House in Greenville, SC, and a Trad Witch coven in the Columbia, SC, area. The name I use for this forum was given me by a Seidh worker at Trothmoot 2012, - "wizard of the wolf seat." Turns out I am descended on my mother's side from the Howes, whose coat of arms features three wolf heads, and on my father's side from Elizabeth Seymour, the Seymours having their manoral seat at Wulfhall in Savernake. Trothmoot is also where I met and befriended a brauchier and practitioner of Urglaawe. My present spiritual path is primarily Heathen; my magical path is considerably more eclectic.

I have been studying and following hoodoo, conjure, and related practices, including Cat's works and websites, for some years, and am now starting to do some serious practice.

I hope to learn more and make more friends and contacts through this forum, to be able to get help when needed and also give help when requested. Thank you.

Hi James and welcome to the Forum

I am posting the most popular forum threads and some forum rules for you to browse. These are links to general information on Hoodoo and to give you a jumping off point.

Hoodoo History:

Oils:

Baths:

Powders:

Conditions and how we can address them:

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.

Welcome to the forums James. There is a ton of great information here. As someone who practices in the Heathen tradition you might be interested to hear about the new book that is about to be released by Dr. Johannes on Swedish folk magic or Trolldom. It's going to be great!
