Hey there-Newbie and question

[drkfaery]

Hey there,

My name is Penny and I am 32 years old -I live in PA near Philly. I am a student of Orion Foxwood's Faeryseership. Orion has really peaked my interest in Hoodoo and I find myself drawn to it. I find myself drawn to many things having to do with the South.....past life possibly- maybe ancestry?

Anyway....I have gotten the Hoodoo Herb and Root book and it is great Formulary but doesn't explain much. I am making my way through Cat's online book as well. Does anyone have any other books to recommend to get started?

Also I know I am not ready to take her correspondence course as I am just getting my feet wet...but can I order the student book from her?

Thanks for being so kind as to answer a newbies questions!

Welcome Penny, to my knowledge, the book is only for sale to students in the course. But someone will correct me if I am wrong. Here is a list of appropriate books that may help with your inquiry. http://www.luckymojo.com/mojocatbooks.html I have read many of them but nothing is as clear as cat's information.

Indeed the course book is only available to course students.

While not entirely conjure, the books of Draja Mickaharic, which LM sells, has a great deal of folk-magick information. He draws mostly from Eastern European folk-magick with a blend of Afro-Carribean practices, but does include a good deal of hoodoo as well.

His books are good introductions into the folk-magick and along with Miss cat's writings will give you an idea about what folk-magick is all about.

Miss cat's HHRM includes a wonderful introduction to it that will help you understand the practices. HITAP will have most of what you'll need to learn about the background and history of hoodoo.

May I also recommend the pages of AIRR: www.readersandrootworkers.org These pages will include a good deal of information as well.

Good luck in your studies.

I second the recommendation of Draja Mickaharic's work, keeping in mind that it's not all hoodoo but will get you thinking in the right direction.

Also, welcome to the forum! There's a great amount of information to be gleaned here as well.
