I’ve decided this lovely coven is my type of area I’d like to stay around for!! I’ve started practicing over the summer and I tend to lean more towards an Eclectic witch myself. Growing up I was always told in a strict religious household that all witches are considered “evil” or “demonic” and of course that far from the truth! I’m excited to meet you all more and bear with me I’m still getting used to this whole thing. I’ve attached a couple pictures of my Hecate altar (still in the works) and my go to everyday altar. <3

I haven’t quite gotten to the lessons with life being chaotic for me as it is, however this winter I’ll dedicate more time to it for sure. Sounds you’re close to me! (ish?). I live in central KY area 
At some point I’ll more than likely ask several questions, there’s a lot of information to remember in this realm, thank you!!!

Welcome, @monica! It’s lovely to meet you. 
I’m Katerina, from Australia. 
I walk the left-hand path of witchy goodness and have a huge space in my heart dedicated to Hekate and Lilith (and Lucifer and all his demons). 
Your Hekate and everyday altars look amazing, by the way! I love her statue.

Take your time with the courses, it’s all good! I live near the New River Gorge Bridge in Fayette County. We’re having Bridge Day this Saturday where idiots from all over the world come to jump off the Bridge. LOL!

Your Altar look amazing

Feel like home and enjoy yourself

Jump off the bridge with parachutes. And bungee jump and rappel too. I think you can even walk under the bridge.
It’s on the on of the main highways around these parts so they close down the road and oodles of people come to watch people jump. It’s wild.
I hope you had fun! That’s another sport you wouldn’t get me near. LOL!

I remember trying to persuade my mum to parachute jump out of a plane, she said, “dear why would anyone jump out of a plane that is going to land in 10 minutes” , still haven’t done it, noone will do it with me.

Hello @monica 
Welcome to the forum!
My name is Megan and I’m one of the moderators here at Spells8 
It’s nice to meet you!
I’m also an eclectic witch, though I didn’t have nearly as strict an upbringing as you did. My path follows a very Celtic-centered practice. I usually work with Brigid, though she has stepped back a bit in the last year or so to make room for other things in my practice. You’re not the only witch here that works with Hecate, that’s for sure! There are plenty of Hekatean witches Please feel free to make yourself at home!
