Sort of New Here :)

[Gemini]

Hello every one! I've been using Lucky Mojo projects for years now, but feel like I could always learn more about Hoodoo. The experience I've had in the past includes Catholicism, working with folk saints, earth based religions including Native American spirituality, and a healthy dose of Buddhism. But ever since I ran into LM products when I was 16 I've felt like Hoodoo has been the most natural thing I've practiced.

Because I do seasonal work (move about every 5-6 months) I've always kept my supplies in an old doctors bag. I would stick to prayer and reading. But now we are settling down in a good place. I want to get back on track, bless the house, set my alter up, and show my respect. I see this board as an opportunity to seek knowledge, and feel lucky to have stumbled upon this great family on here.

I am a bit LMBoard shy! ive asked a few questions on here about 4 years ago or longer, but i usually dont have too much to say unless im stumped on something. Im looking forward to spending more time on here, and thank you all for your time

Blessings!

Hello, Gemini!
Glad you have come out of hiding to introduce yourself!
PLEASE don't ever be shy with us. We are all here for you, anytime.
And your questions are always welcomed.
I'm sure you already know this, but I wil still post the most popular threads and the forum rules.
Hope to see your posts more often
Happy new year!

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 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.

I will add a bit of advice here, you mentioned setting up altars, the forum has a lot of information here Altars questions and answers.
