hey, y'all,

since I am one of those that fixate on having enought to go around at
social events, can we have a head count on the RSVP's to cat's on
Saturday?

Nuttin' like showin' up with a 12 pk of soda and having 15 people
there...

See ya there,

Jackie

(Great idea, Jackie. Robin York is bringing food too (chicken wings last time we talked). Also, i think there will be some folks coming who do not read this goup, including students and their family / friends. Finally, DOn'T WORRY! If the table gets bare, we can send scouts down to the local picnic food supply market (Speer's), the local hippy market (Andy's, and/or the local pie shop (Mom's). We are close to the Russian River, hence many tourists and campers come through and wish to buy pe-made lunches; i have successfully filled in shortages during big parties by setting out various gourmet bufffet items from those places. --cat)

Thank you Jackie!

A really smart idea. I'm going to make 2 big-ass pots of
gumbo, so that will probably feed about 40 and Carin and I are going to call
the local Thai joint to get steamed rice so I don't have to ship my rice
cooker.

If we don't have that many people, then Cat and Siva are gonna have gumbo to
freeze for later, I just can't cook small! hahaha. By the way, Owl and I
will descend upon LMC on Friday to start cooking, helping, shopping; so if
anything needs to be picked up between Oakland and Forestville, we'll have a
car and will going to various stores before we arrive. Yeeha xxx-Sindy

Well, the first Annual Hoodoo Party at the Lucky Mojo Curio Co. was a
smash. There was about twice as much food as required; they'll be
eating chocolate cake and gumbo for days. They'll have to, because
their 1925-era fridge won't hold it all, and I didn't see any place
else to put it.

I didn't spend much time with Cat, who had her hands full running
the shop as well as being the hostess. But that was all right; I got
to meet some wonderful people. Sindy Todo was there - warm,
enthusiastic, and articulate. Give her a couple of days and a clean
kitchen, and she'll show you why gumbo is one of the treasures of
American cuisine. My husband Harry had several helpings and chatted
about the Louisiana Purchase (don't you love Wikipedia?) while I was
in the shop eavesdropping on Tanisia Mooney talking about working with
saints. Later I found myself in the kitchen with Sindy, Holly
Greenwood and Jackie, talking about seeking spirit allies and how
people make it so much harder than it is.

After that, I got to meet Robin ("Wicked Barbecue") York and her
mother, Kathleen, along with Kathleen's friend Brenda. They're both
clairvoyant ladies of a certain age. We talked about health, diet, -
and rootwork, of course. I showed Brenda how I dress dollar bills for
the homeless, and asked her "What kind of church can a person with our
gifts go to, and be supported and respected?" She suggested the same
one Moses went to: the wilderness! I really liked these two ladies,
and hope to meet them again.

There's a little more, but I've forgotten most of it. I love going
places where I experience more than I can remember.

I'm a little disappointed that I arrived too late to meet Ferne. Maybe
next year :)

And of course, I didn't get to meet *everyone* or hear *everything,*
so I hope other guests will chime in with their impressions.

Subject: [hrc] Brief Round-Up of the May 6th Hoodoo Party


Well, i am going to be brief, because i am still recuperating, but the
party was a great success, especially thanks to the tireless efforts of
Sindy Todo, Owl, and Celeste Davidson, who were the real hostesses of
the event. (Me being me, i did not hostess, but spent the first hour of
the party typing up liner notes for the free CD giveaway for guests --
26 hoodoo songs from the 1920s - 1960s -- while faithful siva cut them
out and inserted them into the jewel boxes.

We had about 50 guests over the course of 10 hours, and they arrived in
two waves -- first the locals and the out-of-towners who stayed at
nearby accomodations, and then the Bay area folks, who all got caught
in a giant traffic jame driving north on 101 and arrived in mid-
afternoon.

Sindy made her justiably famous gumbo, Ferne Cambell brought dirty
rice, Vivian Freeman brought white rice, Robin York brought barbegued
chicken and fruit salad, Holly Greenwood vborught a pincess cake,
Micahele Maurer brought beans and greens, and there were many other
wonderful foods whose makers i never did identify and properly thank --
chocalte cakes, apple brown betty, spicy sausages, bread, salad -- not
to mention many bottles of wine, soda, and water. The layout of food
was awesome. Siva and i have a freezer, so the excess is being safely
tucked away for providential future use, and we will look back kindly
on those who supply our meals in days to come.

There were some great meetings and greetings. My sister Holly was a
sight to see, especially after she tricked herself out in the beautiful
cut-velvet scarf Sindy had brought for me (but we both agreed it looked
perfect on her and what are sisters for if not to steal your
clothes?!?). My daughter Althaea also was here, with her boyfriend
David Greenstone, as was siva's sister June and our neice Ariel. Robin
York, her mom Kathleen, and Kathleen's freind Brenda were wonderful,
and i had a very surpising moment when an ex-Lucky Mojo employee, David
Stolowitz, showed up with his two roommates -- one of whom was the ex-
Eclipse Comics employee Lester Bush, whom i had not seen in half a
decade, at least. Jackie brought her two daughters, Tanisa Mooney
brought her own beatiful self, Ferne Cambell came with her husband
Cirvus, Sarah Sliwski and her eclectic coven-mates were fun as always,
and there were a trio of Susie, Susan, and Suzanne as well. Brian, who
works in the shop brought along his whole family to meet -- his wife,
mother, sister, and two children! Robert carried things, Don ran
"sinner's corener" up by the barn where tobacco was smoked, and dozens
of other folks who i can't recall right now came and went while Chelsa.
Carin, and Celeste helped run the shop for those who wanted to shop
while they partied.

So today we have been relaxing and resting... with grateful hearts for
all those who made this event possible.

It was great, and i hope to do it again sometime.

cat yronwode


<We arrived home a couple of hours ago and I'm just sitting down to clear
out my email and saw your note here Cat. I'll be writing my own run down of
the soiree; but just too tired to give it justice right now...
Also, still a little "weepy" from having to say goodbye. I sure left a piece
of my heart there at LMC and definitely with Sophie and your kitchen (along
with a bottle of Petrone Tequila in the lab by the way)! hahaha. My dogs are
here at my feet and we're gonna cuddle with Daddy. More to come- X Sindy

Sorry I missed you, too, Michaele! We figured we take advantage of our proximity to Guerneville and, after schmoozing and feasting, kidnapped Suzanne and her husband, Aaron, and took them to meet our friend, Al, who sells myriad and marvelous crystals and stones at the flea market in Guerneville and then go worship in one of my favorite "temples", Armstrong Woods, and offer up a libation of very good Port that Suzanne had brought along.

I, unfortunately, didn't get to meet a lot of the folks who were cruising the blossoming gardens and titillating corners of Cat and Siva's home...not formally, anyway, although there were passing smiles, nods and comments about flowers and good grits. I did spend some time with Sindy, ruminating over the temperature and time for heating the dirty rice and a whirlwind exchange of histories...and satisfied my carnivorous propensities dipping into the hot links Sindy was frying up. That woman was all over that kitchen like a Cajun Kali...frying, stirring, dishing up portions of gumbo and welcoming everyone who poked in to sniff and salivate. If the kitchen is the heart of the house, Sindy was it's heartbeat on Saturday. Corvus was in Seventh Heaven chowing down the gumbo.

We listened to the cd that Cat and Siva made for the party this morning over our Sunday morning coffee and it's GREAT! Love it!

Hope to meet more folks next time around...or sooner!

Blessings,
Ferne

Gang, It was wonderful WONDERFUL to meet y'all. I think we could have
all camped out in cat's meadow and traded stories for about a week
(except Sindy would be chained to the stove! Poor thing!)

BTW Sindy....we were talking about the twins and their love thang...so
this morning I am gardening (6:30, and I transplanting gardenia bushes)
and thinking about all the conversations on Saturday...and guess
what...Lou Rawls comes through in my head "You're Gonna Miss My Lovin'"
Wow-wee Zowie! What a jinxing song! Lou goes on to say that the one he
is singing to " will never find another love like mine; you;ll keep
searching and searching, your whole life through" "Oh I'm not bragging
on myself, baby, but I'm the one who loves you and there's no one else."

Damn, Sindy...the twins...tell them to stop listening to Lou!

I would like to see us do this again, it was so good. The
gumbo was to die for and Robin's chocolate masterpiece, LORDY! cat gave
is a great cd and I listened to it over and over again yesterday (it's
one of those grab a glass of wine and sit under the tree to listen
kinda things).

(Hey, Jackie, it was great seeing you at HoodooMania. And i too hope we do it again some time. And i'm glad you liked the CD. --cat)

Many thanks to Robin for talking to my daughter about
revenge work (oh, the drama of high school!) Mother Pyrite and her
buckeyes and her "just give a saint a candle and some props" talk with
Sindy and I.

Thank you, Holly, for telling me I ain't the only one
walkin' that path.

Thanks to cat's daughter (I am not going to blow the
spelling of her unique name) for talking to my junior M.D.

(It's Althaea -- look it up in "Hoodoo Herb and Root Magic" <giggle> --cat)

Delicious wine, cold soda and the otherworldly gardens of the grounds of Lucky Mojo Curio Co.

Now, my musical question to cat:

The band named The Band (Robbie and Co.): Was "Up on Cripple Creek" a
hoodoo-y song? I mean he went to the race track and "gave his little Bessy half" Seems like in the song anytime he got in trouble, he went to go see Bessy....

Love ya all,

Jackie

(As to your musical question. The lyrics are at

http://www.guntheranderson.com/v/data/uponcrip.htm

-- but frankly, except for *maybe* the part about being around her making him lucky at the race track, i don't see any outright conjure references there. It's more like she's a powerful figure in his life. --cat)

Oh my I am so sorry I \was not able to be there with you all. I would have especially loved to enjoy the gardens that you write about on Cat's grounds.
Cat, I see you have photos of the shop online, could you please put a few photos a few areas in your gardens online please. As a gardener I would LOVE to admire your handiwork.
Thanks

Thank you to all who wrote their impressions of the 2006 Lucky Mojo Hoodoo
Hoedown. I loved hearing everyone's reminiscences on their day there; it
was like looking through your eyes. It was such a peaceful gathering, and
my first party after my long illness and recuperation.

I just wanted to take the time to thank everyone for putting on such a
fantastic party. My husband and I had such a good time. It was great
meeting
everyone. I also enjoyed leaving all of my money in the shop. I came home
with
lots and lots of goodies. It was just like Christmas!

And Cat... thank you so much for the CD. It made the trip back to Pasadena
a lot more enjoyable. I have been trying to compile a CD like that for the
longest with no luck. We love it!

Again, thank you to everyone. I can't wait to get started on the course!

Amanda Darlin! I have the most interesting picture of you and your precious
Jeff sitting outside the shop going towards the house. I framed you both
sitting in the garden through that old knarley (sp?) thick rose vine. Its
very cool. Will email it to you off list. Cat, you must describe the story
of that rose vine just a little bit. Siva told it to me. It just hadn't
bloomed yet. Sigh. X-Sindy

I'm now able to reply to all the wonderful messages about our
weekend and to convey my experience to you all. First, I am
personally extremely grateful to Cat and Siva for their hospitality
and further extension by letting me pretty much take over their
house. I was honored and it was my deepest pleasure to work in their
kitchen, (and Siva, absolutely, the dearest gentleman would make
sure I had every little thing I needed). Best of all, I have Sophie
with me most of the day fullfilling my dog needs. I am most
comfortable when I'm feeding people and am capable of great
connection in that environment. I truly cannot express the amazing
energy that premeates the house and how it totally wrapped its
loving arms around me. I also know Cat, how different this was for
you... and you did good! Thank you both, deeply.

Next, to Carin, Celeste, Diane, Eileen, Brian, Chelsea and all the
busy hands at LMC, and to Don a wonderful guardian, many thanks for
all your help and tireless work helping me and Owl. You all are so
dear to my heart and I am at your service should you ever need
me...I admire your devotion to Cat, your attention to detail and
knowledge of each and every item in the shop. Multitudes of kisses
to you all.

LMC is like opening a wonderful book, its chocked full of knowledge
and expertise. I think, honestly, I could spend a week amongst the
shelves. And, to have the benefit of Cat's presence and to watch her
in her whirl of energy was extraoridinary! She can break into a
story on a whim and you just sit there on a stool and recieve...I'll
just never be the same, I assure you. (You know how I feel Cat, so I
won't go on about you)

Last, to all the people I met, our hoodoo community and other
magical people, well, you each gave me so much to store inside and
to know that we appreciate and learn from each other. God, ya'll are
so blessed, talented and beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing
yourselves and your knowledge with me. I'll definitely be contacting
each of you offlist with a personal note and trust you will do the
same.

We had a wonderful party, reunion and fulfilling weekend. I'm home
with all my oils, herbs,roots and candles and I have a CRYSTAL BALL
to come!!!yeeeha! I'm closing the energy down on this party now. I
have some serious love work to do- Thanks again -X Sindy (I'll send
you a CD with pictures Cat)

(Thanks, again, Sindy, for your non-stop good energy and devotion to making this party happen. I just asked Sophie what she had to say about it all and she said, "Tell that nice dog-lady to come feed me again some time!" You won a friend for life there. :-) --cat)
