I wanted to take a moment to formally introduce myself within the forum. My name is Lucius, and I am here because I am deeply interested in learning about Hoodoo practices. I am following the instructions provided by Catherine as a prerequisite prior to enrolling in the Hoodoo Rootwork Correspondence Course.
I have been a subscriber to The Lucky Mojo Hoodoo Rootwork Hour on YouTube for some time and am familiar with a number of works published by Lucky Mojo. Several of those texts are already part of my personal library, and I have read them to enrich my understanding of Hoodoo.
Professionally, I am a history instructor, so I have a strong appreciation for primary source material. Much of my study has included Harry M. Hyatt’s Hoodoo, Witchcraft, Rootwork, and Conjuration, along with additional scholarship exploring African Traditional Religions more broadly, particularly Haitian Vodou, Kimbanda, Santería, and Candomblé.
My interest in Hoodoo comes from a deep reverence for African Religious Traditions and the cultural foundations from which Hoodoo emerges. Although I am an initiate within a traditional witchcraft practice, I approach the study of Hoodoo with the same care, seriousness, and respect. I hope to better understand Hoodoo as a living-culturally rooted tradition with its history, its community, and its practice. Therefore, in order to enrich my own spiritual path and, where appropriate, to serve others with integrity.
I look forward to learning and engaging respectfully with everyone here.
Blessings,
Lucius
