It's not what is Mojo, but more accurately what is *a* Mojo. It is an item
central to African folkloric practices and beliefs called 'Hoodoo'.

A Mojo is a little hand made amulet bag containing one or more magical
items, charms, herbs, roots, powders, etc.. In short, it is 'magic in a
bag', a spell you can carry that is unique to each individual (not unlike
the subbtle differences within each of our own 'unique' K2's).

Sometimes the K2 appears to possess magic powers by performing in a manner
that seems far beyond the normally expected capabilities of our little box.
When this happens (and it cannot be predicted or prearranged) the occurrance
is attributed to 'Mojo'.

Keeping the mojo from being seen is important because if another person
touches it, the magic may be lost.

Ergo, I won't allow others to operate my K2 and (just in case) won't
elaborate further on the subject of Mojo on the off chance simply discussing
it will somehow take away the magic of my K2 ;)

(busily casting bones to ward off any evil spirits drawn to the discussion
of  Mojo)
