Hello,
My name is Russ and I’m new to the group. I feel so lucky having found this wonderful and amazing group. Its profound how much energy that flows within this group. I have so much to learn but very eager to get moving along. Baby steps I know but I finally have a place to bounce around questions and so many tips and suggestions to be able to soak up. Thanks so very much for having me and I look forward to being apart of this wonderful gathering. Hope everyone is enjoying their Beaver Moon 
. I was able to enjoy and use this wonderful scene outside tonight and I am excited for the days coming. Thanks again.

Welcome, @russell1 and Merry Meet! I’m Feathertip, from SE Michigan. I’ve been practicing for less than a year though I’ve always been a pagan, close to the natural world. My favorite divination is with Lenormand cards, and the study of spiritual beliefs.
I love Missouri! I have family there and have traveled all around it - beautiful part of the country. 
Don’t hesitate to ask questions about anything! Your new Coven is full of kind and informative people who are always happy to listen and help. Jump in to any discussion that interests you.
Looking forward to seeing you around the forum!
Blessings.

Hi @russell1 , welcome to the coven.
I’m Jayne, an eclectic witch originally from the UK, but now live in Texas. I adopted the witch name Greenbriar as I feel it closely aligns with my practice which leans toward earth and nature magic.
We are glad you have joined us. Feel free to jump into any conversation that interests you.

I’m Dan and I study belief systems. I’m currently obsessed with cards and runes. Meditation is my method of exploring and considering what I’ve learned. My path is loosely under the Chaos umbrella.
Jump in and enjoy!

Greetings @russell1 and welcome! Your enthusiasm is infectious 
My name is Kat, and I practice nature magick with a bioregional focus, working closely with the natural world and drawing inspiration from plant and animal spirits. I’m drawn to herbalism, gardening, and various forms of divination - tarot, throwing bones, kipper and ogham.
There is a wonderful search function that will help you dig for more information in the forums!
We’re glad to have you here. Make yourself comfortable, explore, and feel free to ask questions!:

Hi Russ,
Welcome to the group. My dad’s family is from Missouri I remember going there as a child and catching jars full of fireflies that we used for night lights. Such a cool thing to do I wish we had them in Oregon but its too cold and wet in the winter.
Glad you are here,
Leo.
