Hello all! I am new to this site, i just completed the initiation course. My name is Patricia born in a big city in Connecticut raised there for a few years on and off, and small towns in northern New York (i moved around alot).
I have always feel a connection to magic and felt a deeper sense of connection to earth and other living beings, I really got into magic hard when i turned 13 i studdied as much as i could get my hands on (which wasn’t much at the time). Recently Ihave been trying to practice more, but my practice has lacked condistency and dicipline.
I feel like i have been missing sabbats, ane moon cyclels and not doing dnough spiritual growth, because of other priorities getting in the way, but now I’m at a point where the rest of my life is out of control and the one thing I should be focused on now is my spiritual self to improve other areas of my life.
Welcome @patricia2 !
I’m also pretty new to the site.
I’m originally from NY but now live in Illinois. I’m newish to the craft and enjoy tarot/oracle, hearth witchcraft, moon magic, and just being out in nature.
I’ve loved the courses so far and have completed the Wicca Self-Initiation one like you and just completed the Spellcasting 101 course which is also great. Everyone is welcoming and very open on here so be sure to jump in and ask questions if you have any.
It’s so nice to meet you, Patricia! I’m Marsha, an eclectic solitary witch from Colorado! Congratulations on completing the Wicca Self-Initiation course and Spellcasting 101! There is a lot of great information here, so if you need any guidance, or have any questions, let us know. We are here for you, Patricia, welcome to the family
I’m Kat and am currently located in North Carolina. I found the practice over 20 years ago but lost my way for a while. I found my way home a couple of years ago and shortly thereafter found this amazing group of people!! I am a fairly eclectic Green witch with a deep interest in tarot, runes, herbalism, and moon magic. My deities are Artemis (she’s been with me since the beginning) and Hekate, a recent guide in my life.
We’re glad to have you here. Make yourself comfortable, explore, and feel free to ask questions!
Hi, @patricia2! I’m Amethyst from Southern West Virginia. Welcome to the forum!
I’m sure you’ll find what you are seeking here. There are many wise people in this coven! You just have to pick one small thing, like the Daily Devotional, and stick to it. Then add more if you like. Before long you’ll have a whole routine! Good luck!

You’re not alone, and honestly there are more people out there like this than you thin - Hi yes, you’re talking to one! Sometimes our “regular life” gets in the way of what we think our practice should look like. That’s okay, though! The important thing is that we keep going.
I hope you enjoy your time here. Please feel free to hop right in and make yourself at home!
