This week in "It's All Ephemera" we give "Hoodoo in Theory and Practice in Progress" a three-page upgrade. For those unfamiliar with it, "HITAP" at the Lucky Mojo web site consists of hundreds of free pages about African American conjure and root magic that i have written and uploaded to the internet over a period of 31 years. If you are not yet familiar with the site, check it out at:

Patreon members support my work with contributions of $8.00 per month and in gratitude, i give them a one-year advance access to four new articles per month.

This week, to give you all a chance to see how my Patrons are helping you learn hoodoo by funding my work, i am releasing three new pages to the public on the same day that they go out to the Patrons. I have only done this a few times, so be sure to take advantage of the opportunity and read the new pages today instead of next year. They are:

Bat's Blood Spiritual Supplies:

Dove's Blood Spiritual Supplies:

Dragon's Blood Spiritual Supplies:

We made it! We finished 15 weeks of work on the Lucky Charms trading cards issued by Wills's Cigarettes in 1923. We completed the final five web pages to fill out our colourful and educational set of amulets and talismans from around the world. This installment features our detailed scanning, cleanup, text transcriptions, and annotations of all 50 of the classic 1923 "Wills's Lucky Charms" cigarette cards by William Thomas Pavitt and Kate Pitt Pavitt.



These full-colour trading cards comprise a collection of some of the best magical charms in the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum and the British Museum. I have transcribed, coded, and annotated our tenth set of five of the 38 ancient talisman texts plus the set of 12 astrological talismans we finished earlier this summer. Siva has scanned and cleaned up all of the stippled chromolithographic images. As we worked on each card, i also wrote commentaries on these miniature masterpieces and cross-link them to other Lucky Mojo pages on world-wide folk magic. The entire collection of 50 web pages of Zodiac amulets and Lucky Charms, plus an introduction to the set, is now open to the public for permanent display at the Lucky W Amulet Archive!

This was a project 30 years in the making, and we are grateful that we got shoved into completing it by my patient and persistent Patreon supporters.

The Lucky W Amulet Archive is a folkloric resource that contains hundreds of interlinked pages describing and illustrating amulets, talismans, lucky charms, and good luck pieces from all around the world and from all eras of history. It is a work in progress, and new pages are added on a regular basis at http://www.luckymojo.com/luckyw.html
