Hello there! :)

[Madame Fifi]

Hello Lucky Mojo!

I was raised in a very traditional Chinese family- and I was actually very surprised when I read some of the articles on this website and noticed how similar some of the practices were! I decided to break away from the Buddhist practices when I was 12 and started going to church on my own... but something didn't "feel right." I did not understand a lot of the teachings from the church I attended, and when I was 16, I decided to turn to Wicca. That didn't last long... I turned back to reading the Bible and just followed whatever I felt Spirit was guiding me to do. A few years later, I found this website. I've been reading many of the articles, placed several orders, bought a couple of books (Valentina Burton's book- absolutely amazing!) and I have to say, this "feels" great.

I did feel a little left out and weird over the fact that I don't have ties to my blood family- my parents were abusive and my grandparents disowned me for being American. I made a post about it on a Facebook ATR group and was advised to call upon and work with my ancestor spirits, who may actually feel more affectionately towards me than perhaps my immediate relatives do. I am in the process of putting an altar up in their honor.

I've lurked this website for quite a while now, and I would really like to be a part of this community. I feel like there's a much higher purpose to 'Lucky Mojo' than just 'selling merchandise' and I would love to continue reading and learning. My goal is to hopefully one day be able to be one of Cat's students, once I am able to save up the money and when the prerequisites are met.

Otherwise, thank you for allowing me to join this wonderful community. I hope to learn

Welcome to the Forum family, Madam Fifi! Your avatar photo is great

These are links to general information on Hoodoo and to give you a jumping off point.

Hoodoo History:

Oils:

Baths:

Powders:

Conditions and how we can address them:

Here is some info on how the forums are set up. It is divided into four 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 four 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 spam the moderators by sending multiple duplicated private messages asking for personal help outside the board; many of our moderators do perform readings and rootwork spell-casting for clients, but they are professionals and you should approach them as you would any other professional.

3) Please do not post illegal copies of material from other web sites or from books.

4) 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.

Welcome to the Lucky Mojo Forum Madame Fifi. Have you schedule an hour to listen to the The Lucky Mojo Rootwork Hour?

[Madame Fifi]

I live in Japan so it is really late when rootwork hour comes on... but I download every podcast and listen to it with breakfast. ^_^
