My name is Jewels and I live on a small homestead in the mountains surrounded by Nature’s amazing happenings. I started practicing a little over a year ago. Have learned more since joining than I did in that year. Im so grateful to have found y’all.

Hi, @jewels! I’m Amethyst over here in Southern West Virginia. Welcome to the forum! 
It’s nice to meet you! It must be so nice to live where you are. I’m lucky, I live near the New River Gorge Bridge, even if I don’t get out much.
I’m an Eclectic Witch who likes candle magic and chants. What areas of magic are you interested in? I’m trying to learn a bit about pop culture magic right now. I’m really into different fandoms, so that sounds like fun!
Anyhow, it’s nice to meet you! I hope to chat with you soon!

I just wanted to welcome you.
What a lovely witch name. If you are comfortable to share please could you tell us a little more about you what practices do you enjoy? The lessons on the forum give lots of information and I would recommend having a good look around.
Everyone is very supportive, caring and helpful with anything you need it is a wonderful coven to be a part of.
I am from a small village in Lancashire, England. 
I am an Eclectic Hedgewitch and my divinations are the 5 Elements which I incorporate into daily life. I am drawn to the Moon in particular but also align with the Sun, Planets, Astrometry, Crystals, Candle Magic, Tarot, Anglo-Saxon/Runes, Angel Numbers, Lenormand, tending outdoor, indoor plants and growing herbs, garlic, I write and create my own spells which is both exciting and rewarding for spell jars, spell bags, and looking at different ways and methods of forming new spells. I drink Sun & Moon Water daily, shower meditation as this fits easily into my daily routine self/home cleansing adding instant magic where I can. I am doing the daily Oracle Cards which is my new go to.
I try to simplify, balance and live intentionally to create a calm, peaceful, relaxing home for my family, two German Shorthair Pointer Dogs. Millie & Bronte and our Koi Fish. I also practice Slow Living and listen to Witches Celtic Music which aligns beautifully

This alone sounds like pure magic!
Hello and Merry Meet @jewels !
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, candle making, poppet work, spell boxes, jars and all kinds of creative magic shenanignas. 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.
The forum is huge and it takes time to get to know everything. The people here are very sweet and helpful, so just make yourself known if there´s any questions, someone will certainly show up to help you.
If you want, take a look at the 13 Goddesses Thread, it´s a project I´ve started this year to deepen the understanding and connection to female archetypes and how they are represented in deities. Feel free to join the creative fun!
Brightest blessings!

More about me, well, I’m still learing what speaks to me. Lately ive been focused on meditation and journaling. I would say I’m an eclectic witch with a green thumb and interests in herbalism. My home is a great place for both. Receltly, I purchased my first pendulum and we are working on getting to know eachother.
I jave 3 dogs, 2 rescues and a pekingese (aka ‘the boss’), my kitty, 10 chickens and 17 ducks. They all bring great joy and peace to my life.
Opening up and sharing is a challenge for me, so I can come across as a very private person, until you get to know me…then watch out 
I haven’t made my spiritually a priority until the last couple months and see a significant difference in my life and that of my partner since doing so.
I cant wait to get to know you all! Merry Friday to everyone.

Fabulous Friday Jewel,
So glad to hear about your fur babies 
, and the avians too!!
. Rescues are the best!!! They know they have been chosen by you, so are that much more loving/loyal!!
Green Thumb 
good to hear, mine is black (I have even killed cactus and aloe vera)
Isn’t it wonderful to notice the change that the craft makes in your life. I noticed changes within about 2 months, and others (ones I had not confided in about my craft) started to notice a difference within 6 months.
It is hard to make it a priority. For, me, being in Vegas and a Sagittarian, I LOVE the sun. So, I perform my morning oblations shortly after waking, that keeps it a priority. I perform oblations in the evening, around dusk. (not always consistent with the afternoon/evenings). In the last year, (I self-dedicated in October 2025) I have only missed one day (too sick to get out of bed). By having my rituals in the morning, I am more apt to not “pass” it until later.
Well, I’m starting to yap…have a great time looking around!!

Meryy Meet and I love your name, it is beautiful.
A HOMESTEAD! I sounds like a dream come true. I live in the concrete jungle of NYC. I grew up on Long Island(NY). Growing up I had gardens,ducks, dogs,cats and random small animals. When I was married I had gardens(flowers,herbs and veggies). I moved to upstate NY for 5 years, loved it there. We lived in a dairy area so I would see and talk to the cows every morning on the way to work. Unfortunately my partners elderly parents got sick and we had to move to NYC to take care of them. So, here I am. My apartment is full of plants, fish and a Moose(cat) LOL
I have learned to flip my practice to use what I have, and found it is still very meaningful to me.
This site has helped me alot. lad to see that you have learned so much here. I wish I had this when I started.
Enough of me rambling on.
Blessed Be

@jewels thank for sharing I was apprehensive of opening up with my past the first post is the always the hardest.
I really loved reading your divinations they are well grounded and things you want to learn.
Your home life sounds beautiful, looking after and receiving so much love from animals I understand how much joy and peace is in your life.
I have two German Shorthair Pointer Dogs called Millie and Bronte and a Koi Pond in my back garden 12 large fish.
There is a separate post called Share Your Pet Pics! Calling All Furry, Scaly, and Slimy Friends of the Coven if you wish to add your some photos I would love to see them.
Love & Light Blessings

So glad you found us, Jewels!
I’m Shanna. I’m still new at being a witch, but you are right!
It’s a wealth of knowledge here isn’t it!?
I’ve also recently found journaling and meditation. It has helped me immensely!! I am also leaning toward green witchery. I love tea and harvesting my own ingredients has brought something special to the tea.
Tennessee is a gorgeous state! Also, you just have to live Dolly, right!?
I’m so glad that you found us! Welcome!

Superb Saturday Sensational Sorcerers,
So glad to see you here Shanna. Yes, such a “wealth of knowledge”!!!
The last week, I have been ruminating how much the Craft has affected my life. And, everything is in the positive. The only negative I am finding, is how others accept my choice. But, isn’t that the usual? If “one” (a person) has a differing view from the “mainstream”…there is gonna be troubles.
Stay the course, baby…you’ll LOVE IT!!!
