U.N. Owen says hi

[UNOwenWasHim]

Hello everyone!

I'm a former hardcore skeptic who ended up getting interested into hoodoo as my brother, who was seriously ill, started getting better after his wife's aunt started using herbs and candles to heal him. At first, I wrote it down as some freak coincidence, as his immune system picking up at the same time, but the thought that there could be more to it never let me alone, until I did a google search and found Lucky Mojo.

Now, I'm open to trying and learning about it, but don't have much knowledge about it, because apart from that one distant relative, nobody around me practices it. And that's why I'm on this forum now!

I'm looking forward to meeting the community, and hope I won't use too many words incorrectly and sound dumb or start online fights.

Have a nice weekend!

Hi. Love the song!

Haha, I'm glad someone got the reference!

Hello UNOwenWasHim,

Welcome to the Lucky Mojo forum! We're happy to have you here.

I'm glad you've overcome your skepticism and hope you find our forum useful in broadening your new interest and education.

I am posting links to the most popular threads and some forum rules for you to look over. We look forward to seeing you on the forum. If you ever have any questions, we are always here for you.

These are links to general information on Hoodoo to give you a jumping off point:

Conditions and how we can address them:

Here is some info on how the forums are set up. It is divided into four major 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 five 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 post illegal copies of material from other web sites or from books.

3) 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.

4) Please do not start new topics; we have thousands of topic-threads already in place.

5) Please do not quote people by using the copy-paste function; it wastes space.

Thank you A LOT, that's a big package of condensed information I couldn't hope to find in one single place! These rules are logical and appropriate, and I hope I won't break them by accident.

Thank you, it's not each day you see such a welcoming team on a forum, but I'll do my best not to give you extra work!
