Who knew my path would lead to Hoodoo...

[feliciamillerjohnson]

Aloha! I'm Felicia.

I'm an African American female who was born in Alabama and currently reside in Little Rock, Arkansas (Aunt Caroline Dye's state ). My spiritual background is Christianity. I am a wife and mother of two. I am also an entrepreneur, Intuitive Life Coach.

Within the last few months, Emmanuel (God), my Ancestors, and Aloha Spirit Team have revealed my connection to Hoodoo and the reason why I was living in the South (since I grew up a military child and thought I was going to live on East Coast).

I am on the path of learning and cocreating my Hoodoo practices. I am seeking to align with the right knowledgeable coach/mentor for me. In June, I purchased Catherine's book "Paper in My Shoe" on Amazon and was lead to this website. I like the fact that you specifically cater to African American cultural norms of Southern Black Christian conjure practice.

I am interested in interviewing and enrolling in the Correspondence Course.

Thanks!
Felicia

Hello and welcome to the forum. I am glad you here and i am ready to help you in whatever way i can.

This forum, as well as my web sites, "Hoodoo in Theory and Practice" and "Southern Spirits," are free, and they are filled with much information. My books are reasonably priced and provide a window into the way professional root doctors and home practitioners work. If you dig deeper and want to make more of a commitment, i will be very happy to have you as a student.

I'm sure you have been exploring a lot of the forum and community on your own but these are links to general information on Hoodoo to give you a jumping off point:

Hoodoo History:

Mojo Hands:

Oils:

Baths:

Powders:

Incense:

Candles:

Herbs:

Conditions and how we can address them:
http://luckymojo.com/hoodooataglance.html

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.

Hello, and thanks for your continued interest.

Because my course is not a beginner's class but more of a master class, i give prospective students a list of requirements to order first, to familiarize themselves with the typical home-level work. The list consists of inexpensive, basic books that i have written, plus a range of spiritual supplies to work with and become familiar with -- some of which will be used in the class itself.

So the first thing to do is to read the required books and products list, and to start ordering items from those lists -- and each time you order, leave a message in the message area of your order stating that you are a "prospective student" so that we can check off what you have purchased.

If you keep a checklist yourself, it will help, and when you have checked off every item, then you can call the shop, ask someone to confirm that you have all the items, and they will set up an appointment. We will talk for an hour (maybe more) and i will then approve you as a student and my husband nagasiva will change your forum status, add an avatar for you and we will walk you through the private student forum (hidden within this forum). When you order the course book, i will sign it and inscribe it with your name and from then on you will be able to read the student lesson and homework threads, and to ask me any questions that arise from your reading of the course book.

Tracking! Thanks.
