Hi everyone!

[Miss Lexi]

Hi I'm Miss Lexi

I've been lurking on the forums for a few years and finally decided to join in! I'm 31 and a mama to two little ones. I come from Nova Scotia originally where my heritage dates back to the slaves coming over during the liberation. Both sides of my family have a direct connection to the African-American slaves so I've always been intrigued with hoodoo. My family is Christian and over the years I've been to many churches and such. I've always had a unique connection with God and religion though I wouldn't class my self as religious but rather spiritual instead. It seemed that I knew the bible without ever reading it and I can quote many things from it without a second thought. Every time I go to a church people tend to come to me and vent their feelings and I've been labelled many times as a healer. I've always been good at giving advice and offering other solutions and support. Every time I dabble in any religion I become boarder line obsessed with it and have to break away because I become deeply involved. Never made any sense until I spoke to an AIRR member and was told I was a nun in a past life.
I've practiced various forms of magick and witchcraft throughout my life then in the past few years become very involved with hoodoo and root work. I've always had the natural ability to know things I shouldn't and be able to make things happen if I wanted them to....if that makes sense at all. Everyone I've ever met said they were drawn to me.

So anyways I'm here to broaden my knowledge and meet like minded people and hopefully enrol in Cats course in the near future!

Thanks for reading my ramblings

Hello Miss Lexi,

Welcome to the forum and to the Lucky Mojo family!

I am posting the most popular threads and some forum rules for you to look over.
And we are looking forward to seeing you on the forum.
If you ever have any questions, we are ALWAYS here for you.
Enjoy!!

These are links to general information on Hoodoo and to give you a jumping off point.

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

5) Please do not start new topics

6) Please do not quote people
