| Introduction | In 2010 I was given the instruction to learn the uses and properties of herbs and their uses by my Ancestors through divination and meditation. (Who I finally found.) Since set on this path I have made it my mission to learn and know all I can about herbs and their medicinal uses. The medicinal use of herbs goes very well with my love and use of herbs in the art of Hoodoo and Spell Craft. During a spiritual reading with a Palero and Babawalo I was told that I am a daughter of Oya, Orisha of the market place, Goddess of the storms and keeper of the cemeteries and the mysteries of the dead. I owe much to My Oya and my Ancestors as both have given me the drive to become both a business woman and true to my beliefs. Ashe! |
| Interests | Taught to use the pendulum at age 10 by my father and soon became adept at it. By age 12 I was reading the tarot cards with amazing results. I never had a name to what I did all I called it was sorcery....sounded so much better than witchcraft. Making floor and body washes, love, luck and money potions or anti-love potions for friends. I was always brewing a batch of something.It wasn't until happening upon Lucky Mojo website, in 2005 that I realized what I practiced had a name...Hoodoo. An eclectic form of it, but Hoodoo none the less. It was just something I always did, what I saw my father do. Little things I'd see my Grandmother do. Always drawn to the spirits and spiritual contact I sought it out at every opportunity. Having no dead relatives of my own to speak to that I knew of I would spend my teen years with my adopted brother, in the cemetery, speaking to other peoples dead ancestors. |
