Hope all of you are well!!! My name is Valerie from Southern California. I’m new to this forum and just started my subscription to Spells8. I’m not exactly new to all that is magic but it’s more like I’m reappearing back a path I should have engaged in more wholly when I was in my youth. I just want to find my way or actually feel my path like I used to. Time, stress, and adulting have a way with clearing out all that was spiritual, faithful, hopeful, and divine in a person. So I’ve decided to fully come back to god, the universe, and all the goodness that all of this truly is.

Hi, @ValerieAnne23! I’m Amethys from Southern West Virginia. Welcome to the forum! 
It’s lovely to have you here! Don’t worry, a lot of us have come back to the path of Paganism after RL getting in the way. I know I did.
This group has made me feel more confident and connected to my magic, and I hope it does that for you, too! If you have any questions or need assistance, please ask, and someone will be happy to help. I look forward to getting to know you!

Merry meet @ValerieAnne23 and welcome!
My name is Kat, and I started practicing the craft in 1993. My practice is rooted in a blend of nature magick, green magick, and elements of hedgecraft. My interests include herbalism, gardening, and divinatory practices like tarot, runes, throwing bones, lenormand, and ogham.
There is a wonderful search function that will help you dig for more information in the forums!
We’re glad to have you here. 
Make yourself comfortable, explore, and feel free to ask questions!

Welcome to Spells8!
That was a nice affirmation. Spells8 has a load of stuff to learn, participate in, and just enjoy. Jump in!
I’m Dan and I study belief systems. I came here with sort of opposing experiences. I grew up knowing that something was out there but didn’t decide to do something about it until late last year. Glad I did! There is so much to study and do here. Enjoy!

Good morning Valerie and welcome back.
I am just returning to Spells8 myself. Have been on my Wiccan path a long time. How profound your message - yes adulting can creating coping ways and addressing life’s challenges in methods that would be best served along the Spiritual Path. This has been a very clear lesson to me. Now I turn to my witchy spiritual ways for stress relief and give my needs over to ritual and the Universe to address. One day at a time.
I was searching for an old morning prayer to start my day and thought I would pop this simple saying here for you. I love repeating this in the sunrise to start my mornings. Sometimes I expand on it as I feel the need.
Bright blessings on your renewed journey! 
(Note: This morning prayer was written by Scott Cunningham.)
