Hi there! I have just joined this forum and I would like to introduce myself as well as ask questions to this community. First of all, I had some experience with Hoodoo before joining here but not in an expert/root doctor level. I don't consider my practice Hoodoo, but it's definitely influenced by it. It's pretty much a combination of various ceremonial magic traditions, a ''ceremonial-magic-like system'' in my country, Hoodoo, folk magic spells of my country, Shamanism, Solomonic magic, things derived from Greek Magical Papyri, Traditional Witchcraft and Wicca (feel like this is going to backfire on me haha). The main reason why I joined here is to improve my knowledge regarding Hoodoo.
Now, it's time for me to ask you, the community, questions. What are the advantages and disadvantages of Hoodoo in your opinion? Who should practice Hoodoo and who shouldn't? Do you consider practicing or believing things that were borrowed from sources beside Hoodoo and/or things outside of the black christian culture (or vice versa) is a form of cultural appropriation? Do you also practice something else besides Hoodoo, if so what is it? What do you think about other magical systems and/or religions such as ceremonial magic, Thelema, Brujeria, Voodoo, Santeria, Wicca, etc.? Do you believe in a distinction like ''low magic and high magic''? All answers are welcome and I am glad to participate in this forum.

Hello, Polytropus,
Welcome to the forum!
Unfortunately, these questions are not really the focus of this forum. They have been answered many many times on webpages such as:

You will find most of these questions answered on this webpage.
I am posting the most popular threads and some forum rules for you to look over.
And we are looking forward to seeing you on the forum.
If you ever have any questions, we are ALWAYS here for you.
Enjoy!!
These are links to general information on Hoodoo and to give you a jumping off point.

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
5) Please do not start new topics
6) Please do not quote people
