APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM: MAY 3 - 7, 2010

Cat Yronwode's Hoodoo Apprenticeship classes are only open to graduates of the Hoodoo Rootwork Correspondence Course. This year's Apprenticeship training consists of Week Two of the full 3-week course (Lessons 4, 5, and 6). Taking the Apprenticeship at the rate of one week per year allows those who cannot take the full 3-week program in one shot to graduate from the Apprenticeship program in three years, one week per year.
  • MONDAY MAY 3 - TUESDAY MAY 4
    9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Apprenticeship program in OILS
  • WEDNESDAY MAY 5 - THURSDAY MAY 6

  • FRIDAY MAY 7

The Apprenticeship program is FREE; to offset the time cat spends on the program, you will work for Lucky Mojo 20 - 24 hours during the week, and the shop will keep and sell the spiritual supplies you make.

We have rented a 10' x 10' Medieval pavilion tent, with a 7' x 10' awning. It will be on-site April 3 - April 9 and is available to course graduate apprentices on a first-come-first-served basis. Bring your own sleeping equipment. No cooking fires allowed.

A Chinese Pharmacy in a Candle Shop?
One of most eccentric areas of the Lucky Mojo Curio Company shop in Forestville is the area devoted to old-style Chinese Traditional Medicine pharmacy goods imported from Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia. In a tower-cabinet that takes up less than 1 square foot of floor space, we have assembled a truly impressive selection of Chinese herbal pills, liniments, teas, capsules, and tonics.

Why do we have such a great Chinese Pharmacy in our shop? What could this possibly have to do with folk magic in general or hoodoo in particular?

The answer is a matter of history: During the mid 20th century, as Black rootwork practitioners moved out of the South in what is now called The Great Northern Migration, they often settled in cities that had a Chinese immigrant population. Racial segregation being what it was at the time, the Black ghettos and the Chinese ghettos were often adjacent.

During the era that "regular" pharmacies and drug stores stopped carrying herbs for medicine -- which the root doctors also used for magic, of course -- spiritual practitioners turned to their local Chinese Traditional Medicine suppliers to obtain their roots and herbs. While shopping for botanical supplies, they also tried out some of the prepared herbal formulas imported from China -- and hnce we have a lot of interested customers at Lucky Mojo shipping for White Flower Oil, Tiger Balm, Po Chai Pills, Curing Pills, and Four Seasons Liniment.

We support these old, traditional herbal medicines by stocking them in the shop, so next time you drop by, check them out -- or order online at our Chinese Pharmacy Mini-Store.
