Hello from Philadelphia!

[ConjuringCat]

A little late considering ive been here for a couple months but better late than never! I'm rather new to hoodoo, i've been researching it for 2 years, but only got into trying spells in the last 4 months or so. I've always had an interest in tarot and astrology and I've heard that as a child I was able to give lottery numbers with a good measure of accuracy. I hope to become more proficient in spell casting and to develop some card reading skills. So far this forum has been a BIG help and i look foward to many years of learning!

I love this forum!

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.

Hi there! My name's Nathan and I'm also fairly new to spell work as well, although I've studied Southern conjure and rootworker for years. I grew up Southern Baptist in a very superstitious family steeped in Appalachian folk magic. Even though hoodoo is quite different, there are similarities so for me finding Lucky Mojo was like coming home! I hope it feels that way for you, too! Looking forward to getting to know you on here! God bless!
