New to Hoodoo

[Lawjack79]

Hello everyone,

My name is LaWann but call me Law, my friends do. I turn 40 in January and I’m from Washington DC but I live in Maryland with my 2 teenage sons and my mom.

I’m new to hoodoo and I want to learn as much as I can. My grandma and great-grandma use to have candles, sage, oils and all types of things. They would always tell me they would teach me when I was older but they passed on before they had the chance.

I want to keep the tradition going and teach my sons but since my elders passed and my mother did not have interest, there’s no one to teach me. So, this why I’m here, to learn and to enlightened my spirit to a higher degree and to keep the tradition in my family.

I’m praying to become a student so I can be taught correctly. I don’t know what else to say at this point but thank you so much for reading my post.

Hello Lawjack79,

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 family heritage. I'm sorry that your elders passed on before being able to teach you personally, but you have found the next best thing here. Miss cat is a wonderful teacher and very generous with her learnings, as you will see from this forum and from her many free educational pages. Have a look around, ask questions and we will do our best to answer you. I'm sure you will do your family proud by everything that you learn.

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.
