Hi!

[zwsmileyface]

Hello! I've been lurking for some time and I finally decided to join to get precise answers to questions that I have that haven't been answered yet, as well as to help whenever I can. I've read the rules and the guidelines posted on other introduction posts, I hope I'll get used to forums quickly.
I prefer not to reveal too much about myself when unnecessary, as I live in an environment where any act of magick is not approved and as well to avoid being identified by anyone surrounding me in "real life". What I can say is that you can call me Smiley or simply F, I go by they/them pronouns, I have been practicing for around five years although I must admit I only really practice when I or someone close to me is in need, which I am hoping to change. I seem to do well with divination (tarot mostly), and my main interests are road openings, removing blockages, and reconciliation work, although I am excited to learn many more other things. Another thing that I believe I should note is that due to my location and financial status, I find myself lacking in some supplies which are native to America as a continent, as they are either not found or sold where I live and getting them from across the pond or overall another country is just not something that I can currently afford.
Nice to meet you!

zwsmileyface,

Welcome to the forum Smiley! We are glad to have you here. We have members from all over the world and they tend to make due with what they can. Budgets are bit tighter this year for many people. Fortunately, in this tradition you can do a lot with just an oil or powder. While we do offer many works you should be able to put together no matter where you live, please keep in mind that the primary purpose of the forum is to educate customers on how to use Lucky Mojo products for various conditions. With that being said, I'm sure you will find plenty of spells to help yourself as well as others. It can be difficult just starting out but I ask that you take your time and read as much as possible. There are many powerful, free spells on the forum and on other Lucky Mojo pages. At least one for every condition you can imagine, lol.

I know you stated that you already read through the list of links and rules but I'll post them anyway so we know it has been covered. Once again, welcome Smiley.

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.
