Hello - New here, and very new to witchcraft. I’ve been Pagan my whole life, even when I was too young to know it, if that makes sense. 
I recently have felt the pull to go deeper.
I am now living in a 75 year old bungalow in southern Michigan, with my husband and two cats: Bex and Miss Finn. We moved here to be closer to my mom, who recently turned 98, and is still sharp as a tack.
I’m very new to all this and hope to learn from each of you. Thanks for having me!
Blessed be! 
Welcome! I’ve only recently joined the Infinite Roots Coven myself. This is a beautiful group of people who are always ready to help. 
Thank you! 
Welcome!!! I’m still fairly new and this is such a warm and welcoming place. There is so much info!!! Search the forum for anything and ye shall find!!! Look forward to getting to know you! 
Welcome @Feathertip. We are very happy that you have found us. I’m Jayne, a novice witch living in Texas. I joined the Infinite Roots coven in November of last year and am still learning.
Feel free to jump into any conversation that interests you, and if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask. There are witches here from all over the world who will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
@KylaD, @jayne : thank you for the warm welcome!
There’s so much here it’s a little overwhelming, and it’s nice to hear from you welcoming souls. 
Hello @Feathertip I’m Amanda from Oklahoma We’re so excited you have joined us
Welcome @Feathertip!
I’m Georgia. Born and raised in Indiana, now in New Mexico.
Give your kitties an extra snuggle for me?
Hi! I’m Dan and I explore belief systems… and dabble in lots of things. Cards, candles, crafts and Chaos. 
I live in Nebraska (US) - ‘Middle Earth’.
Welcome and enjoy Spells8. You are in a supporting community and you can learn at any rate you like. Play, participate and enjoy!
Welcome @Feathertip ! It is great to have you with us! I’m from Minnesota and have been practicing many different aspects of the craft for 35+ years. I currently work with voodoo, chaos magick and divination. I’m just beginning studying necromancy.
This is an amazing group of people! If you ever have questions, don’t hesitate to ask. Someone will be able to guide you.
Look forward to learning with and from you! Is crones can always learn from the young.
Blessings
There is a lot of info. What I did and still do, is look for the info that calls to me rather than dive into everything. The courses are great for chunks of info! They are very well done!
Hi, @Feathertip! I’m Amethyst from Southern West Virginia. Welcome to the forum! 
It’s great to have you here! And may I congratulate you for moving with two cats! Wow. LOL! Anyhow, this is a great place to really study and learn witchcraft. You can start out slowly with something like the Group Ritual on Thursdays which is basically tea and meditation when you can get to it, and post about it later.
And in the Courses, you’ll find all you need to start casting circles and spells!
If you have any questions, just ask and someone will pop up and give you a hand. I look forward to getting to know you!
Hi again @Feathertip! Nice to formally meet you. I’m Susurrus, a moderator here at Spells8 & Infinite Roots
I was born on Cape Cod, moved a few times, practiced Wicca in my teens, life happened, circled back to Cape Cod, wanted to find what makes me, me… & here I am 
Lots of twists, turns, here, there, everywhere over the last few years.
There is a lot of information on the site as well as the forum. It can be overwhelming for sure. I can honestly say:
→ You don’t need to have all the things or buy anything brand new
→ Try your best to go slow when learning about anything. Its exciting & there’s a lot, but you don’t need to know, practice, or have all the answers. Burnout is a real thing!
→ If you have any questions or anything to share, please do! There many practitioners of all kinds. Someone will be able to help you & we will point you in the right direction.
→ Enjoy yourself & your journey
Thanks to all of you beautiful people! I know I have made the right choice by joining you all.
I appreciate your advice to move slowly, and I will!
@georgia: I definitely will give the kitties an extra snuggle and tell them it’s from you. 
I think I welcomed you in another thread 
but Merry Meet again! 
Don’t worry! Your best friends will be the search function in the forum and all of us!
Feel free to ask anything you want in the forum! We’re a helpful group with a diverse background, so you’ll get many suggestions, opinions, and viewpoints!
Take it at your own pace and don’t let it overwhelm you.
A good place to start learning the basics is the Wicca Self Initiation Course Wicca Self-Initiation: Video Course in 8 Ritual Nights – Spells8
Then you can branch out from there, at your own pace, into which courses you feel drawn towards.
Merry Meet again, @Artemisia! I will have to play around with the search function.
@jayne: Thank you! I appreciate the links - it looks like a perfect starting point.
