Excited to join spells8!

Hi,

My name here is TrixieAnne which is actually one of my pets names as I am in the broom closet. It is a shame but the judgement of being 100% out could put me in a predicament in my career and social circles. I appreciate the opportunity to connect with like-minded people in this group. Actually, I’d be very happy to be out to more than just a few close friends.

I am intuitive/empath and began reading tarot cards over 30 years ago, but more recently decided to delve deeper into my spirituality in a meaningful way. That has led me to do spell work which has helped me with some necessary shadow work and finding more peace of mind. I found I really love crafting spell jars with an elaborate mix of herbs, crystals, oils, charms, etc. and my own incantations and sigils. I have a lot more to learn about herbs and crystals so that is part of my study. I initially thought I was a green witch because I love to garden and generally just sit in the dirt, but probably actually fit more into the eclectic group.

My sign is Capricorn sun, Gemini Moon, Virgo rising with both Pluto and Uranus in my first house. Those influences have made for an interesting life journey!

I live in the greater Philadelphia area, am married with 3 children and am very proud of them all. We have rescue dogs and cats that keep us entertained.

Nice to meet you all -

Merry meet @trixieanne and welcome!

My name is Kat, and I’ve been practicing the craft for over 30 years. My practice is rooted in a blend of nature magick, green magick, and elements of hedgecraft. I work closely with the natural world, drawing inspiration from plant spirits, animal spirits, and liminal spaces.

There is a wonderful search function that will help you dig for more information in the forums!

We’re glad to have you here. :purple_heart: Make yourself comfortable, explore, and feel free to ask questions!:herb: :acorn: :crescent_moon: :deer:

Hi, @trixieanne! I’m Amethyst from Southern West Virginia. Welcome to the forum! :infinite_roots:

It’s lovely to have you here! I’m sorry you’re in the broom closet. That’s difficult, I know. Does your hubby support you at least? I hope so, for your sake. And wow, 3 kids and rescue animals! That’s great but boy, you must be a very busy person! LOL!

Looking forward to getting to know you!

Welcome @trixieanne ! It’s great to have you with us! I’m from Minnesota and have been practicing many aspects of the craft for 35+ years. I currently work with chaos magick, voodoo and divination.

I’m sorry you are in the closet. I have been in and out of it several times over the years. I understand how hard it can be. I’m finally at the age where I don’t care anymore and am totally out for good now.

This is a great place for learning and growing your practice.

Blessings :purple_heart::purple_heart::purple_heart:

Thank you for the welcome! I grew up in Rochester, Minnesota – hope you are staying warm. I feel like I can be more out of the closet after I retire but I have years to go.

@trixieanne , Hi, I’m Dan and I feel for your position. I was incognito on line for many years for reasons which are probably similar to yours.

I’m new to Spells8 though I’ve been into meditation for years. I am diving into belief systems and using the term Chaos as an umbrella for where I am.

Spells8 has wonderful resources and something new pops up all the time. Enjoy!
