Eager To Begin My Journey in Hoodoo

[Sabrina82]

Hi Ms. Catherine,

I’m so excited to learn Hoodoo and have been wanting to embark on this journey for some time, but had no one to teach me. My name is Sabrina, and I was born and raised in Tennessee with family roots in Georgia and Alabama. My desire is to connect with an elder and take my time learning the craft. I heard about some members on both sides of my family that practiced hoodoo, but they have since passed away.

I’ve been frustrated a little because I feel some of my people have lost or forgotten the craft our ancestors once practiced. So, I want to be a hoodoo practitioner in my family with the hopes of passing it down to my daughters when they are ready one day and to assist those in need.

Currently, I am reading a book called “Hoodoo for Beginners” by Angelie Belard. And I’ve also purchased one of your books “Hoodoo Herb and Root Magic.” I look forward to corresponding with you.

Sincerely,

Sabrina

Hello s_nunn07@yahoo.com,

Welcome to the Lucky Mojo forum. We're glad to see you here, and to know that you are studying to follow your family's heritage in hoodoo.

You might want to think about giving yourself a spiffy new forum name, vs. using your email address. When you decide on a name, just let me or Nagasiva know and we can cnange it for you.\

I'm sure you have been exploring a lot of the forum and community on your own but these are links to general information on Hoodoo to give you a jumping off point:

Hoodoo History:

Mojo Hands:

Oils:

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.

Hey Miss Athena, nice to meet you! Please change my username to Sabrina82. Let me know it’s that’s okay.

Please click on your name, then click edit profile by your name in the middle of the screen. Then, on the 4th box down it says "Edit account settings", this will give you the option to change your name, email or password.

That’s what I did, but it doesn’t give me the option to change my profile name, only my email. Do we need to reset it?

The ability to change your username is restricted due to previous abuse on the forum. Here is the thread where you can request that one of the admins -- usually nagasiva -- change your name. It is no problem to do so.
