This is where I am right now.

[Bellarayne]

Hello, I am Theresa, I prefer Bella.

I've been on a spiritual journey for a while and now here I am and I feel like I've come full circle. I am okay with it for the most part but I am so shocked and I am brought to tears every day that I read the information on this site. So much history I didn't know about.

See, I'm not here to fix a condition or anything like that, I'm drawn here because I just wanted to learn the magic of my ancestors. As I read and learn things so many things align with me and just makes sense and it makes me weep. I cry for the time that I didn't want to know more because I was so scared because I was told to be. I have a lot to learn and I wish I could learn/read faster. So many assumptions.

Anyway, I'm glad to be here, thanks for having me.

Hello Bellarayne,

Welcome to the Lucky Mojo forum! We are so happy that you have found us.

Thank you for sharing your story with us, and I am glad to know you are embracing your heritage. Building your spiritual connection with your ancestors will benefit you both magically and personally, and I wish you the very best on your journey.

We hope you will find this forum useful to you as you further explore the tradition of hoodoo.

I am posting links to the most popular threads and some forum rules for you to look over. We look forward to seeing you on the forum. If you ever have any questions, we are always here for you.

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

Here is some info on how the forums are set up. It is divided into four major 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 five 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 post illegal copies of material from other web sites or from books.

3) 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.

4) Please do not start new topics; we have thousands of topic-threads already in place.

5) Please do not quote people by using the copy-paste function; it wastes space.
