Hello everyone! I’m so happy to be here. A little about myself… I was introduced to Wicca in my teens by an aunt. I gobbled up everything I could find to read on the topic. I learned Tarot and became fascinated with the readings. Unfortunately, she refused to introduce me to her coven out of fear my parents would disown her. I eventually moved to southern Cali, got married, had three kids and left Wicca. I became a registered nurse in my 30’s as I felt a strong calling towards healing. Fast forward to my crone era. I have been practicing again for a little over three years as a solitary, however there are times I wish I had others to bounce thoughts and ideas off of. None of my friends are witches, so it’s a lonely path at times. I live in a small town in central California where we don’t even have a metaphyical store and there doesn’t seem to be a witch community here that I can find. I’m hoping to find a community of like-minded individuals here on Spells8. A
nurse I have an affinity to help others so please feel free to reach out and I will always try my best to be helpful. Blessed Be.
Hello and welcome @julie18 I’m Amanda from Oklahoma We’re so excited you have joined us
Hi @julie18! I’m Amethyst from Southern West Virginia. Welcome to the forum!
I’m glad you found your way back to magic! It’s funny, it seems to be a common theme here that a lot of people for one reason or another, drift away from it and then come back. It just shows you were meant to be a witch, I think!
If you have any questions or anything, just ask and someone will pop up to help! Keep an eye out for the Merry Meet Monday post because that will have everything that’s going on in the coven for the week and you can gossip and learn about your fellow witches in the comments!
I look forward to getting to know you!
Merry meet @julie18 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. My interests include herbalism, gardening, and divinatory practices like tarot, throwing bones, and Lenormand.
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!
Hey there I’m Laurel Somerville from Walcha NSW! How are you? I hope you’ll find everything you need to learn about Wicca and Magick on both the forum and the main Spells8 site 
Welcome @julie18! I am so glad that you found us. I am Celine and Eclectic witch from Portland , OR. I used to live in in So Cal but moved up here 7 years ago. I love gardening, kitchen witchery, making tea blends and creating spells. This is great community.
I’m glad you found your way back too!!! I’m a solitary for over 30 years but not by choice. Live in a small Canadian very Christian small town. With in laws and their siblings living here too and very religious. But I found spells8 a few months ago and I feel like this is where I was meant to be. Surrounded by love, education, discussion and Magick!

Welcome @julie18!
I’m Georgia, in Albuquerque, NM.
I’ve been studying since 1990, and I can relate to the loneliness. The forum is a great place to find community. I am happy to share time and journey with you.
Feel free to join any conversation which interests you.
And also on SpellsOfMagic.com — where you can make an account completely free and you can get supplies from AzureGreen of various discount off RRP prices but mind on the SoM shop some things are often sold out and can take awhile to restock.
Welcome, you are in amazing space here.
