I thought that I had said hello. I am new here so I will be fumbling around the community finding my way. I have always been a witch. I can remember being able to say it out loud maybe 15 years ago. Even as a child they called me different because I heard things, saw things, knew things. I am adopted but it was funny because I was adopted by full-time witchcraft believers so I was exposed early but I saw things differently then where I came from. I did not want to harm anyone and I understood quickly there is a real sense of black magic people do not want to understand. I practiced helping people fix things because I often understood the beginnings of them better than most. I began to research my true passions (healing herbs, tarot, divination, crystals) after my kids got older and were not bothered by my lifestyle or embarrassed. I had two alters then set up by then and by the time I told my kid I wanted an outdoor cauldron it was was like ok… the neighbors have to know what you do by now dragging stuff outside in the middle of the night. lol. I got so bold I was just like the moon tonight is better in the front yard. I love who I am finally I feel free. I practice do no harm and I definitely believe in return to sender. I make my own things but I love to gain and give knowledge. It is so nice to find this place.
Hi @Mami_Water! I’m Amethyst from Southern West Virginia. Welcome to the forum!
I love that you are free to practice as you like! That must feel so good! I’m disabled and in an apartment so there are some things I can’t do. Plus I live in an area where it isn’t safe to go out at night at. So no moongazing for me. You’re so lucky!
Have you found the Courses here on site yet? Even if you know this information it’s a good idea to go through it, there are wonderful printables for your BOS.
And if you have any questions about anything just ask and someone will pop up to help! I look forward to chatting with you more!
It’s nice to meet you! I’m Marsha, and I’m currently living in Colorado. I also work with healing herbs, tarot, divination, and crystals, as you do! There’s lots of great information here, so if you have any questions let us know. There are a lot of friendly and helpful people here as well! Welcome to the family
Thank you!!
Yes I have started them I love to learn everything I can. I was super excited to just grasp the prints and so much meditation info. I able to go outside based on magic trust this was a manifestation for me that I worked on with the help of many.
If you ever need me outside late night just drop me a message. I believe in the power that we together can shift the universe for real. No worries I will definitely be the one asking what does this mean or help unraveling something I can not find.
Thank you so much. You too do it all I love it!! I am so excited to be here. I found a family feeling of home and I see so much knowledge here and in all the people here. It is amazing!
