Hi @Assyla555 Thank you for the kind welcome! 
So wonderful to meet you and you’re from Wisconsin too! I’m truly loving and learning Spells8. I have so much more I want to learn. So grateful I stumbled across this sight.

Hello @Susurrus , 
another wonderful moderator! Thank you for the warm welcome and the love for learning shared here. I truly appreciate your openness and the supportive atmosphere in this community. I find Spells8 makes navigating the magical world so easy, and I’m appreciative to be a part of it! 
Regarding witches’ names, do you choose your name based on a certain or specific connection?

Hi! @marsha 
Thank you so much for the warm welcome! The Academy of Magic is wonderful. I started doing the courses that the Magic Academy offered and learned so much through completing them and reading the books. Yes, the audible books are inexpensive and were great to listen to before I went to sleep. They really helped me to step out of my comfort zone and so much more. I ventured out and discovered Spells8 in which I am eager to explore more here. 
So great to meet you!

@kristen4 hi again! 
Thank you so much!
As far as witch’s names. It’s totally up to you! It could be something you connect with that also coonnects with your practice. A name you want to use in the forum or only for Witchy things. I think we have some topics around here:

I grew up in the mountains in southern Colorado, but I’m living in Pueblo now. A few years ago, we lived in Golden and later in Morrison. My uncle lived in Littleton, so I am familiar with the area. I love the mountains and are drawn to them! There is some beautiful country here in Colorado!
Love

@marsha Oh, how wonderful! I use to live in Littleton. I was in Golden last year for a special family gathering. I’ve always loved the mountains and hiking. The hot springs are great too! You’re right; it’s beautiful country. 
Sending lots of love your way from Wisconsin to Colorado!
