Spring has sprung, a bit prematurely, and the chickens are well into their laying season. Bo is busy pruning the orchard, plans for the Hoodoo Heritage Festival are moving forward, and you still have some time left to get a discount by purchasing "Early-Bird" tickets. My job for the month is book publishing, and my tasks have been made much, much lighter by the fact that our dear friend Khi Armand of ConjureInTheCity.com has taken on writing this newsletter. Thank you, Khi!

Attention Hoodoo Correspondence Course graduates! It's time to take advantage of the opportunity to do some hands-on training supplemental to graduation from the Hoodoo Rootwork Correspondence Course!
Do you have a desire to become a professional rootworker or hone your rootworking skills? Do you dream about opening your own shop? Have you wanted to meet with other like-minded practitioners?
You can do all of these things and more when you attend the Hoodoo Apprenticeship Week. The next Apprenticeship will take place May 11th through May 15th of this year.
During the week leading up to the Hoodoo Heritage Festival we will be offering the Week One Apprenticeship! Graduates of the Hoodoo Rootwork Correspondence Course are invited to come and receive an in-depth folk magic education right here at Lucky Mojo under the direction of catherine yronwode and Shop Manager, Heidi Simpson!
The Apprenticeship Program consists of nine lecture classes of 3 - 4 hours each, plus nine hands-on training sessions of 3 - 5 hours each, organized into three one-week training sessions.
Week One: Herbs, Candles, Special Waters
Week Two: Oils, Incense, Mojo Hands
Week Three: Baths, Sachets, Jack Balls
Apprentices need not take the three weeks of sessions in order. The Program is open to all graduates of catherine yronwode's Hoodoo Rootwork Correspondence Course.
Upcoming Apprenticeship Week
May 11th - May 15th, 2015 - Week One Apprenticeship:
Monday: Herb Lecture, Identifying and Harvesting Herbs
Tuesday: Harvesting, Dehydrating, and Packing Herbs
Wednesday: Candle Lecture, Dressing Candles
Thursday: Labeling, Dressing, and Fixing Candles
Friday: Special Waters Lecture, Marking Special Waters
During the week there will also be opportunities to mingle, hang out, and share meals with the Lucky Mojo staff. More details on these events as the Apprenticeship gets closer.
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 the Hoodoo Rootwork Correspondence Course. 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 become familiar with the actual work involved with this. Course students who have not yet graduated are eligible for Apprenticeship training ONLY if they bring all of their homework with them the day before the Apprenticeship starts and if catherine passes it.
Apprentices are required to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement, to provide for their own room and board, and to attend all 40 hours of studying, learning, and making spiritual supplies.
Upon finishing all three weeks of the Apprenticeship over the course of three one-week sessions, a certificate is issued at no cost, signifying that the training was completed.
Space is limited, so if you want to attend the May 2015 Apprenticeship, Week One, email Heidi NOW at heidi@luckymojo.com or telephone the shop at 707-887-1521, Sunday through Thursday, 9 to 5 PT.
