Hello and merry meet! We usually can’t choose the battles we have to fight. Congratulations on your 7 successful years! May many, many more follow. 
I´m Katharina, an art-witch and art therapist from Vienna, Austria! I´m practicing magick very much through art making! I love altar craft, I love candle making, poppet work, spell boxes and jars and working in my Book of Shadows is a big part of my pratice. I love all things tarot and practice this art since many moons.
I´m looking forward to getting to know you!
Brightest blessings! 
Hi All 
I love the introductions topic.It’s great to get too know people a bit better. I live in Australia in sunny Queensland. I’ve been living more and more spiritually every year. It’s like slowly easing people into who I really am and I’m now at the stage where I quiet frankly don’t give a damn.
I’m right into crystals, astrology, tarot and the moon cycles. I love cooking, sewing and gardening.
At present I am making a large BOS for 2026 astrological, wiccan and moon cycle events and any other event I would like to put in there such as Valentine’s Day and Australia Day, just a name a couple.
I keep a rough notebook where I write down my “recipes” for that event (as in what I do - my spells, anything else that I’ve done, tarot, crystals used etc). I’m in the process of devising an annual calendar and then I will bit by bit transpose everything to my BOS.
The ruler is to show you how big it is - 13" long x 3" thick 
Merry Meet, HeatherLee! 
It’s really good to see you here! Thank you for sharing this so honestly. Seven years clean is a powerful accomplishment, and starting over after walking through hard things takes real strength and courage. I’ve been there. Wanting to rediscover who you are and connect with people who get it is the best feeling in the world!
I don’t think we’ve met. I’m Stephanie or Eira of the Living Hearth, an eclectic witch from California, and yes… I understand exactly what you’re saying. This path has a way of calling us home, even after detours that change us. You’re not strange or broken for that, you’re becoming!
You’re always welcome here, whether you pop in quietly or stay and chat. I hope you find kind faces, familiar spirits, and friends who see you clearly.
Wishing you a gentle day.
Blessed Be! 
Love that book! I’ve gone digital but I keep my paper BoS. It’s not nearly as cool looking as yours.
Hi, @heatherlee1 and Merry Meet!
I’m Feathertip, from SE Michigan - I joined last spring, so I don’t think we’ve met. Thank you for sharing your story so I have this opportunity to congratulate you on your 7 years - here’s wishing you many more! That takes a lot of determination and inner strength.
I certainly get what you’re saying - and welcome back! You belong here, and we’re happy you’re back. It’s important to know you’re among like-minded people who aren’t here to judge anyone - we’re all making our way. 
I’m a lifelong Pagan and also love Lenormand cards and staying close to nature. Looking forward to seeing you around the forum! Blessings. 
Hi, @heatherlee1! I’m Amethyst, from Southern West Virginia. Welcome to the forum! 
It’s nice to meet you! And congratulations on battling your shadow! I tip my witchy hat to you! And while we may look at you weirdly, it’ll be because we enjoy the weirdness and want to be weird ourselves!
Congratulations on 7 years of diligent work! I am so happy for you!
Hi again @heatherlee1,
Great to hear from you! And congrats on 7 years clean, that’s a big accomplishment 
You’re very welcome here in the forum! Make yourself right at home 
Blessed be!
Greetings @heatherlee1
My name is Kat, and I practice bioregional animism grounded in the North Carolina Piedmont. I create my own divination tools adapted to my local ecosystem, including ogham staves and seasonal tree divination sets. My practice is hands-on. I craft tools, make runes, deity figurines, and bind my own Books of Shadows. I explore the collaboration of magick and science.
We’re glad you’re here. Make yourself comfortable, explore at your own pace, and feel free to ask any questions you might have!
Merry Meet,
Yes, we understand what you are saying. We’ve all been there. I understand about “starting over again” (coma, serious TBI, almost a decade now). Here, you are free to be yourself!!!
Wonderful Weekend Witches….Lady Gene
