Am I the only one?

Hoodoo, also known as conjure, is a form of predominantly African-American traditional folk magic that developed from the syncretism of a number of separate cultures and magical traditions. It incorporates practices from African and Native American traditions, as well as some European magical practices and grimoires. While folk practices like hoodoo are trans-cultural phenomena, what is particularly innovative in this tradition is the "remarkably efficacious use of biblical figures" in its practices and in the lives of its practitioners.[1] This definition was taken from WIKIPEDIA. This is where I have planted myself firmly into the middle of. That being said, I do not use the saints or biblical figures. I lean more to the Native American symbols. Conjure is the closest thing I know to what it is I do. I guess this is what makes me unique and original. Im not a traditional by any means...but I am original FOR SURE! If Im not let me know who else does what I do? Im serious. I could use pointers and guidance.

another step...

A lot has happened since my last post. I lost most of my home in a flood from hurricane Issac. I have also taken another step to learning what my heart so dearly longs for. I may have found my way into a much deeper form of education. ...and so my journey goes... as the African proverb says "A journey that only goes in a straight line does not discover much about life or living."
