First time looking at an Oracle, help?
So juju mystery immediately jumps out at me, can I pair that with the spirit archetype? Is that a bad pairing should I not?

I'm assuming you refer to the Spirit Guide archetype.
In my opinion it depends on what you want to do with your juju oracle. If you want to be a cool voodoo guy with spooky voodoo powers and flavour overload go right ahead.
If, on the other hand, you want to go for a strong undead lord kind of build with a bunch of undead minions, a strategy the juju oracle is really really good at, this archetype sets you back a ton. You trade away your 3rd and 7th level revelation, which means you get the spirit vessels revelation at one, where it doesn't do anything for you, then a bunch of unrelated stuff for 10 levels and then your second revelation. 10 levels of waiting time is long in pathfinder terms.
Can't really give further advice beyond that because I don't really know anything about the kind of game you want to join with your character.
Yeah I was wanting a spooky voodoo badass with the flavor jets on high. So I'm glad I can spirit guide but the idea of gimping my dude kind of sucks.
But in all reality we're starting at level 1 and I doubt we'll hold with this game to make level 5, currently this group we've ran guys to lvl 6 and the GM is kind of burned out so we're swapping gm's and creating new dudes.
Thanks for what advice you were able to give, I appreciate it any comments.
I'm not really familiar with that build, is it really so feat hungry that you wouldn't be able to spare any for an Extra Revelation or two?
