My name is Sharlie and I am new here. I learned about the craft after my mother passed and I found her tarot cards and grimoire. I had not known she practiced because she did not want to influence which faith we chose as individuals and I am very appreciative of that. I think it is a good idea to let each person pick what to follow and believe in. I hope to expand my knowledge of the craft and maybe share some knowledge i have gathered so far.
Hello @sharlie and welcome to the forum! 
I hope you don’t mind but I moved your introduction post to its own thread. This way, it won’t get lost and our wonderful coven members can all welcome you! 
My name is Megan and I’m one of the moderators here at Spells8 
It’s nice to meet you!
I’m so sorry to hear about your mother’s passing 
but it sounds like you’ve found a wonderful heirloom to hang on to! I can understand that she didn’t want to influence you as children, and that’s amazing! That’s kind of the same route that I take with my own child. I answer questions and explain things when she asks, but I don’t personally hide my practice from her.
Anyway, I’m rambling 
I hope you enjoy your time here at Spells8 with us! Feel free to hop right into any discussion or start your own!

Yes I have found the courses, I often have down time at work so I have been busying my self with some reading. I have been fascinated by the spell and potions courses currently, I love apothecary and but have been unable to find good courses, these have been very informative.
