Ravenna from NJ

[RvnaBlk]

Hello!

My name is Ravenna...I'm from NJ. lol
I was raised by a devout Christian woman, but my father was a Voodoo priest. My father's craft has called out to me since I was a child but I missed the benefit of having his guidance as I am stepping into this world after his passing. I'm learning different aspects of spell work on my own and trying to figure out the best path for me.

I've browsed this forum on many occasions as of late and everyone is helpful. I decided to create an account because I've been unable to find answers to a question that has been weighing heavy on me about severe fatigue that occurs before spell casting and not after. I can't seem to find anything anywhere about it. If someone could point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it!

Hello RvnaBlk,

Welcome to the forum!

As you may know, this forum concerns the traditional practice of hoodoo, which is not related to Voodoo. You can learn a lot about hoodoo from the many posts here.

We usually give a quick run down of rules and helpful links here. You may already be familiar with some of these but just to be on the safe side, I'll post them anyway.

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

Hoodoo History:

Oils:

Conditions and how we can address them:

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.

Thank you! & yes, I understand. I’m learning what I can about the different facets of the occult world hoping to find a practice that resonates with me. Could that be the problem? Maybe nothing is working & I’m heavily fatigued bc I haven’t chosen a practice yet?

Hello RvnaBlk,

That's impossible to say. On the one hand, you may be spreading yourself too thinly. On the other hand, you may just not have found the right path for you. Keep studying and perhaps something will click with you in a way that you will recognize. Hopefully you will find that hoodoo is resonant with what you are seeking. I know it was that way for a good many of us.

Best of luck to you!
