Hi, Denise --

Thanks for contiuing to list my site as an a.r.o. resource. Actually,
since the last time that listing was updated, there have been some
changes at my site, and the URL you gave above does not direct the
reader to "The Lucky W Amulet Archive" -- it simply leads to the top
page of the entire Lucky Mojo site.

There still are a few African items in "The Lucky W Amulet Archive,"
because that is where many of the religious entities (Orishas, Catholic
patron saints, Jewish prophets, Hindu gods and goddesses, etc.) are
logged, but on the whole, there is much, much more about African
diasporic traditions in another portion of the site, called "Hoodoo in
Theory and Practice." In other words, "The Lucky W Amulet Archive" is no
longer the portion of my Lucky Mojo site of most relevance to
alt.religion.orisha or to African Diasporic Traditions in general.

The listing and URL should now read like this:

http://www.luckymojo.com/hoodoo.html
* Hoodoo in Theory and Practice * An online book about African
American folk magic, hoodoo, conjure, and rootwork -- including
links to African, European, and other religio-magical traditions.

Thanks!

Cordially,

cat yronwode

Thank you Cat - will change in the next update - am working on
finishing Part 2 of FAQ ....

Please send me any other websites you think I've missed that fit into
the hoodoo section - or for any other section for that matter. It's
getting hard to keep up with sites.

Denise
