Hello, MidNite81,
This is cat. I am glad that you like our books. There are several more inexpensive titles that will open a new orld of magical practices to you -- i highly recommend Hoodoo Spiritual Baths and Hoodoo Herb and Root Magic to you as well. The latter is required reading for my Correspondence Cource, if you wish to take that at some time.
Hoodoo in Theory and Practice can't be purchased ... because it is FREE. You may read it online at my web site. Start here with the Table of Contents and, one by one, click each link and read each chapter. New chapters are aded on a regular basis:

Very few members of this Forum have taken my one-year course in hoodoo. This Forum is free to newbies, customers of my shop, clients of Hoodoo Psychics and the Association of Independent Readers and Rootworkers, and the public in general. All of he moderator (whose names are in green) and administratrators (whose names are in red) are gradutaes of the course. Any graduate may sign up to be a moderator and may earn Lucky Mojo spiritual supplies in excgange for replying to questions from the public.
=====
Here is some info on how the Forum is 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.
Enjoy!
