I've studied and practiced wicca oriented magic for around 20 years and left off for various reasons a few years ago and started going back to a church last year. Recently I lost my partner and I realized a little too late that it was to a woman who has worked some sort of magick on him. In October I did a tarot reading which revealed among other things that there was a hidden enemy working against me (us) but that ultimately we would reconcile and reunite. If anyone wants the details of this spread for their own consideration or curiosity I'm open for it. I enjoy getting opinions and insights from others, though I have to warn you it doesn't always change my mind!

When I met the enemy mentioned in the tarot reading I soon came under a certain kind of attack and since the day I met her (ex's current girlfriend) I have often awakened around 3:00AM each morning with the same cold, creeping and toxic feeling I got when I first met her. Praying to St. Michael and/or meditating on happier (and sexier) times with my ex seems to stop this "attack" cold. The memory of sexual and emotional intimacy between my ex and I has an effect, I believe, because I know from observing him and counting condoms that they are not having sex on anywhere near the scale of frequency and passion he and I had it.
All of this led me to looking back into my magickal past and as I read across the internet and found this forum and site I felt pulled more and more because Hoodoo allows me to practice the Christianity I was raised with while also tapping into and utilizing the spirit world I have always sensed. To rephrase: Wicca seemed to ask that I deny the Christianity that feels natural to me. Strict Christianity seems to ask that I deny my own personal sensibilities, experience and power. Hoodoo seems to allow me to be me.

I hope to seen be able to afford the full correspondence course that Miss Cat offers though for now I will study what I can on this site and do what I can to reunite my family and remove this woman and her troubles from our lives.
God bless all of you, thank you to those who have helped and will help me. I hope one day to be able help in turn.
