Hello from Savannah, GA
Greetings!
I am an artist/designer and art educator. I've been researching and utilizing hoodoo for some time. I am just now starting to make my own mojo bags and such. Though I have learned an awful lot on my own, from Cat Yronwode's books, and the LMCC website/radio show, I hope to apply to (and be accepted into) the Hoodoo Correspondence Course in the future so that I may learn even more and hone my skills.

Re: Hello from Savannah, GA
Hello, and welcome to the forum.
Hope i didn't give you too hard a time in your post about making a mojo. I just get impatient with all the nutty rule-making that folks are currently trying to impose on hoodoo.
As always, my advice for those wanting to learn the practice of African American folk magic is to ask the old folks rather than read a book -- but if you have to read a book, try to make sure tat it was written by or about old folks, or that it came out a long time before the internet got started.

Hi glitch and welcome to the Forum: we're happy to have you amonst us.
Here are a few of the most popular pages for you to browse. And, some forum rules that we ask everybody to read.
Hoodoo History:
http://luckymojo.com/hoodoohistory.html
Oils:
http://luckymojo.com/oils.html
Baths:
http://luckymojo.com/baths.html
Powders:
http://luckymojo.com/powders.html
Incense:
http://luckymojo.com/incense.html
Candles:
http://luckymojo.com/candlemagic.html
Herbs:
http://herb-magic.com
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 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.
