Hello everyone, Name is Dee from New York city. I have been practicing for over 30 years(yes I am old lol). I am a solitary witch. When I was growing up I never felt I belonged in church, I was raised Catholic. I began searching for different natural remedies and holistic healing after a injury to my neck. During that search I started reading about Wicca. The more I read the more I felt I belonged. Life has taken me on many journeys and times that I had no time to practice my craft, but one thing always remained my faith. My life has become less crazy and I am reconnecting with my wiccan path.
Blessed be!

Hello @Celestria and welcome to the forum!
You´re going to meet quite some GenX witches here! 
Beautiful! 
And you´ve found the perfect place for it! There are many cool online courses, daily spells and rituals and we all love the printable pages that Francisco always creates for us, like the monthly grimoire pages. The forum is filled with sweet people walking all kinds of different paths and what ever you´d like to learn about, chances are there are already some really good threads about it. There´s also a lot of fun activities happening! Maybe you´d like to check out the Merry Meet Monday post, where our lovely moderator @BryWisteria always brings us the news for the witchy week ahead.
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.
I´m looking forward to getting to know you!
Brightest blessings!

Super Sunday Denise,
You have definitely found your “home” here!! Most of us have had the same type of experience you had. We found out, after studying witchcraft, that many of us already “knew” without knowing what we were doing. We have many different people here, different areas of expertise, areas of interest, practices….the list goes forever, so you should be able to connect with someone.
Welcome have a look around, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Merry Meet Celestria
I just wanted to welcome you.
I am from a small village in Lancashire, England.
I am a Solitary Eclectic Witch and my divinations are crystals, tarot, runes, angel numbers, lenormand, candle magic, tending outdoor, indoor plants and growing herbs, spell jars, spell bags, sun & moon water, water meditation and home cleansing. 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 and animals.
Everyone is very supportive, caring and helpful with anything you need it is a wonderful coven to be a part of.
Wishing you blessings

Merry Meet, Dee. 
Thirty years on the path is something to be proud of, not “old” at all, just wonderfully seasoned. 
It’s beautiful how your journey into natural remedies and healing opened the doorway to Wicca, and how your faith stayed steady even when life got too busy for regular practice. That kind of thread doesn’t break, it just waits.
I’m Stephanie or Eira of the Living Hearth, an eclectic witch from California. My practice is very hearth and green witch–centered, working with herbs, divination (tarot, runes, oracle, Lenormand), shadow and ancestry work, and weaving self-care and everyday magic into home life. I always love connecting with fellow solitary witches who are returning to their rhythm after life’s many chapters.
I’m really glad you’re here, Dee. Welcome back to the path and the forum.
Blessed Be!

Hi, @Celestria! I’m Amethyst from Southern West Virginia. Welcome to the forum! 
Hey, there’s nothing wrong with being a Crone! I’m looking forward to it. The ability to be crabby and rude and just plain bawdy and have people look over you just because of some wrinkles will be awesome!
New York City! Outside of New Orleans and San Fransisco, I imagine that to be one of the most magical cities in the US! Is it amazing? I mean, I know that 177A Bleecker Street in Greenwich isn’t magical, but I can just imagine all the new age shops that must be there, and the library!
I’m sorry, my inner geek is showing. I don’t want to scare you off. Anyhow, I’m glad you found this path, and that you still have your faith despite the craziness of the world lately! I hope we can help you to reconnect!
I’m looking forward to getting to know you!

Welcome to Spell8 @Celestria !
As some have said, your path of discovery is similar to many of us. Breaking off the dogma and just observing makes us realize something out there is happening.
I’m Dan and I study belief systems. My path loosely fall under the Chaos label.
Jump in and enjoy!

Merry Meet. Oh, believe me being a Crone is great,but I have been crabby and rude(lol) for most of my life. I am a person who tells it like it is. Not everyone one is excepting of that, but if they cant handle the truth what can you do. LOL The city does have a alot of magical places. Also alot of lost souls that have not crossed over, I am very sensitive to it so at times it does get overwhelming. Would not give it up for anything.There are some amazing stores here. Some better then others. As far as your inner geek goes “let it fly” Waving my banner. Love the Bleeker Street statement.
Blessed be. Celestria
