Why the name "Lucky W"?That, friends, is a strange tale.This web site grew out of alt.lucky.w, ausenet newsgroup devoted to discussion of the metaphysics of beneficentsynchronicity and descriptions of, experiences with, and rationales for theoperation of artifacts, tokens, and devices intended to increase beneficentsynchronicity and decrease malevolent synchronicity. Alt.lucky.w was an"abandoned" newsgroup, adrift without a hierarchy, empty of any posts, itsoriginal purpose unknown even to The Cabal when i learned of its existence in1994, through Froggy's Usenet Salvage Company. At that time, propagation of thegroup was so low that only two service providers were known to carry it. For somereason the name haunted me, though, and i campaigned to getAmerica Online and other ISPs to pick it up. (You can do the samewith your ISP -- just read and follow my directions for getting your ISP to carryalt.lucky.w.) As soon as i gained admission to the group, idecided to write an alt.lucky.w FAQ(although no one but me had any questions, frequently-asked orotherwise). In answering my own questions, i found a purpose forthe group, and from that purpose has grown this web archive.Then, as if from the void, the creator of alt.lucky.w appearedand told the story of how the newsgroup came to be!His name (his given, birth name) is Lucky Wayne Donegan, and here is his story:  A long time ago back in college I was trying to set up a new groupfor computer science; this goes back about 7+ years ago, to 1988-9, when I had theIQ of plant life. I made a real big goof and the area wasaccidentally created, unintentionally, for whatever it's worth.You can add this information to the web site if you wish. I have no problems withit. I am rather open minded. Being named Lucky cannot be asbad as being named the Boy named Sue (Johnny Cash's song). Believe methat name has darn near cost me my life on occasions and at other timesa tremendous amount of embarrassment. However, I have learned if Icannot laugh at myself or at life it's not worth living, so HAVE FUN.Just keep me posted, ok?Lucky W. Donegan lucky@netrix.netMontana Computer Nut Software, Inc.P. O. Box 1647Polson, Montana 59860P.S.: I live on the Flathead Indian Reservation; it's aConfederation of the Salish & Kootenai Tribes and is one of richestIndian Reservations in Montana.This man CHANGED MY LIFE!!!Because of his name and a mistake he made while messing aroundwith computers, i  took on the rehabilitation of the alt.lucky.w newsgroup in 1994,renewed my lifelong interest in folk magic by teaching myself html code in 1995 and writing web pages on the subject, acquired the luckymojo.comdomain to house my web pages in 1996, started my own Lucky Mojo online spiritualsupply company to support the web site in 1997, began to hang out in other usenetnewsgroups devoted to magic in 1994 and thus met my husband, nagasiva, in 1998and was married to him as the odometer shuffled from 1999 to 2000, and, in2002, wrote and published a book on folk magic called "Hoodoo Herb and RootMagic". in2003, commenced teaching an Online Correspondence Course in Hoodoo Rootwork Magic.I am completely in awe of the complexity of the universe and thearbitrary nature of many of its little wrinkles and fractalpermutations.I hereby declare Lucky W. Donegan the Creator of alt.lucky.w andnominate him to the post of Ascended Master.Whew. copyright © 1995-2003 catherine yronwode.
