Thank you, Airam. My journey has left me open to many new experiences. My craft doesn’t have a label. I was always told that our paths have steppingstones and to always be open to receive knowledge. Just like walking in wet sand. Your footprints are just faded from the journey that you had endured but, never forgotten.

That’s very cool that you’re a 5th generation witch! I’m sorry you lost your mom and grandmother.

Thank you, Sivonnah. I was very fortunate to be able to learn from each of them. They are greatly missed. My grandmother passed the family workings down to my mom when she pasted, and mom pasted it to me when she pasted. I loved working alongside of them. We were stronger together than I am alone. My first memory is of my Grand and mom working spells together.

Merry meet, @rhonda1 !
I’m Kat and I found the practice 30 years ago but lost my way for a while. I came home a few years ago and found this amazing group of people!! I practice eclectic green magick and am interested in tarot, runes, ogham, 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!

Welcome @rhonda1 ! So glad you have joined us! I come from a line of women that have visions. None of them actually practiced the Craft that I’m aware of. I’m the first in my line to actually practice and learn more about it.
I’m an eclectic chaos witch from Minnesota. I mostly do tarot, pendulum and visions. I’m just beginning to work with the Fae.
