GO, HEIDI!

Beth Schlanker, a photographer from the Santa Rosa Press Democrat newspaper, was out here last week and shot some beautiful glimpses of the shop. These ran in the Sunday paper on April 29, 2012 as a brief descriptive block of text and a series of captioned pictures. The featured team member this time was Heidi Simpson! Here are some of the images, showing Heidi making a Jack ball. So cool, Heidi!

|
There is NO COST for Apprenticeship training because it is conducted strictly on the basis of labour-for-labour trade. Over the course of a five day Apprenticeship Week, Apprentices receive about 20 hours of lectures and hands-on training and in turn they perform about 20 hours of work for the shop. If you cannot sit or stand for a 40-hour work-week, you should NOT attempt to attend this apprenticeship. To join in the Apprenticeship Program you must be a Graduate in good standing of my Hoodoo Rootwork Correspondence Course. Non-graduates are eligible for Apprenticeship training if they bring all of their Homework with them when they come. Any Graduate may take the Apprenticeship training, but it is especially recommended for those who wish to go on to work for clients or who want to start their own occult shop and would like to know what the work is actually like. Apprentices are required to sign a non-disclosure agreement, to provide their own room and board, and to attend all 40 hours of studying, learning, and making spiritual supplies. |
Upon finishing all three weeks of Apprenticeship, a certificate is issued at no cost, signifying that the training was completed.
Space in the Apprenticeship Program is limited.
If you want to attend the May 2012 Apprenticeship, Week One, email Sister Robin Petersen NOW at robin@luckymojo.com or telephone her at the shop -- 707-887-1521 -- Tuesday through Saturday, 9 to 5 PST. |
