Hi! I am a new member to spells8, however, have enjoyed the website for years. I am 72 and am from Wisconsin. I love all things magic, and especially doing spells and energy work. I love Sabbats, but don’t have a lot of others to celebrate with. I am so excited to be a part of this community!

Thank you! Could you explain Chaos Witch? I don’t recall ever running into that term, and I am interested in what it means.

Your welcome darling 
There are no sets of techniques that make up chaos magic; therefore it is not a system in and of itself.
Chaos magic is an attitude, a philosophy that promotes experimentation, play, and creativity while discarding dogmatic rules. Chaos magic points out that the techniques more than the symbols are what matter and that our belief in a system is actually what makes it work. The attitude discounts the idea of absolute truth and focuses instead on results within the real world.
Basically there are no rules. Practicing how one sees fit. I mean I have my own beliefs and whatnot. But say I’m missing an ingredient I’ll opt for something else. Or I will tweak spells and rituals to suit what I believe.
The idea is to test different sets of techniques and figure out for yourself whether or not they work. This sort of experiential attitude fosters creativity and inventiveness and puts emphasis on results to “prove” a given set of techniques.

Merry Meet and Welcome @CheriB! 
I recently joined as well and posted this intro a couple of weeks ago:
Crone among the young?
You have me beat by a few years, I’m 65. A new Witch is called a Baby Witch, maybe we’re Baby Crones?!

Welcome @CheriB ! It’s great to have another crone in the group! I e been practicing on and off for 35+ years. I have been practicing chaos magick with Loki as my deity but have recently been being pulled towards voodoo. I will be reaching out to Marie Laveau for her guidance on this.
This is an amazing group with many different types of practitioners. If you ever have any questions don’t hesitate to ask!
Blessings

Lol, I have been practicing for about 15 -20 years, with a very gradual gain of knowledge. Not sure where that puts me. I love the term baby crones though! I like your “Kindred Spirit” It has always been a favorite term of mine.
