Merry Meet! I’m Nancy originally from NY, now a Florida witch! I found this site a few months ago and when the 1/2 off deal came through I knew it was my time to join! I find it one of the best witch sites on the internet, and believe me I’ve looked all over!
I was raised a Catholic but realized early on that the million questions I had about the Universe were not getting answered through that avenue. So, I headed out very much on my own seeking and challenging. I’d been reading Tarot for two decades and obtained a Doctorate in Metaphysical Science and it wasn’t until I was older than dirt that I discovered that my maternal grandmother had been a white witch…who knew!!! I’ve been toldl by several psychics that her gifts skipped a generation and I received them; then it skipped again and now my grandson has it! I do a lot of healing as a Reiki Master and even did it in a hospital for over 4 years. I would get incredible “hits” when I did the Reiki and could tell clients about past lives, future happenings, etc. I love it!!
My coven is actually having a besom making day in January at my house in Florida and I’ve been up in NJ (for the holidays) collecting branches for handles, and birch leaves for the broom. I can’t wait.
This site is so incredible chock full of information and I learn something new every day. I’m so happy I found it and that I’m a member now. I look forward to connecting with all of my witch sisters!!!
Welcome 
Merry meet!
I’m Kat and am currently located in North Carolina. I found the practice over 20 years ago but lost my way for a while. I found my way home a couple of years ago and shortly thereafter found this amazing group of people!! I am a fairly eclectic Green witch with a deep interest in tarot, runes, herbalism, and moon magic. My deities are Artemis (she’s been with me since the beginning) and Hekate, a recent guide in my life.
Oh that sounds like so much fun! What a wonderful idea.
We’re glad to have you here. 
Make yourself comfortable, explore, and feel free to ask questions!
Thank you so much!!!
Thank you!!
Hi @nancy12 and welcome!
I’m new around here. I’m in Illinois but am originally from NY too.
I’m newer to witchcraft, but I enjoy reading tarot and oracle.
I agree that this site has so much information! I think you will be pleasantly surprised by the weekly challenges and the group rituals in the forum. They are great, as is the community here! Enjoy and explore.

Hello and welcome home @nancy12
I’m so glad you joined us, Nancy, my name is Marsha, and I am an eclectic solitary witch, from Colorado. I was raised as a Methodist and they couldn’t answer my questions 
either! I’m also a Reiki Master and do mostly distant healing. I am looking forward to getting to know you better! Welcome to the family! 
With love and magick

Hi Marsha!!! Thank you for responding! I look forward to discussing Reiki, healing and all things witchy 
Hi BlueAngelite,
I tried responding to the email, but they didn’t go through. I was born in Brooklyn and raised in Queens. I lived for a short time on 75th. & Broadway in NYC. My husband’s family is from southwestern Illinois, a very small town called Gillespie. I love visiting out there! Thank you for the welcome!
Thank you!
Thank you Megan! It’s easy to feel right at home with such warm and friendly peoplle!
Welcome
I certainly will be taking pictures! Right now I’m confused about how much broom grass I need. It’s a little confusing. Some dealers sell by pound and some by bunches. If anyone has done this before, I’d really appreciate some feed back. Thank you.
