I guess I’ll jump right in by telling you a bit about how I got here.
I’ve always had gifts. I remember playing with little people who were about 1 1/2’ tall and wore red and blue clothes when I was about 3 years old. Of course my grown-ups thought I was pretending. I’ve always had premonitions in the form of dreams and daydreams. My mother and sister also have them so I never thought much about it. As I got older I realized that I can change how a person treats me by imagining replacement behavior. Sometimes when I think of something, it happens. I still don’t know if I caused it to happen or if I was made aware that it was going to happen. There are other things too, but I don’t want to write everything here.
So here I am in the crone stage of life and I’ve decided that it’s time to organize and harness my powers. I’ve identified as a witch most of my life, but only in the past few years have I allowed a few others to know that about me. I live in a very conservative area and I don’t feel comfortable coming out of the broom closet just yet.
I’m happy I found a place where I can learn, share and discuss what it is to be a witch

Hi! I’m Dan and I’m solitary, too. I put myself under the Chaos umbrella and I like to study belief systems (and Tarot and runes and candles 
Welcome to the coven. There are lots of things to learn and participate in here. Everyone is really friendly. So jump in and enjoy!

Hi Dan! I love Tarot! I also enjoy learning about different belief systems. It opens my eyes to all the possibilities. Sometimes it feels lonely not belonging to a coven because there’s not anyone to talk to about your craft. This feels like a really good place for me.

Thank you for such a warm welcome. I’m still learning the forum. There’s so much information here. I’m trying to be an active participant but I’m a little bit nervous about doing something incorrectly. Everyone is so kind so hopefully if I make a mistake I won’t make anyone too upset 
Hi, @cherietta! I’m Amethyst from Southern West Virginia. Welcome to the forum! 
We’re glad you found us! I get having to live in the broom closet. I’m only halfway out. Two people know for sure, but I bet my building manager knows because there’s all sorts of pagan decor in my apartment. I’m sort of operation on a Don’t Ask Don’t Tell thing. LOL!
So think of this as a place to take your pointed hat and witchy shoes off and make yourself comfortable! I’m looking forward to getting to know you!
Thank you for sharing that with me! You’ve described my exact situation.
You’re welcome! I kind of had to come out of the broom closet when I got a worker to help me around the house. I wanted to make sure I wouldn’t scare whoever came to work with me.
I got lucky and got Sally. She just dusts my Goddess statures and goes on! She accepts me and all my weirdness. So sometimes taking the chance is worth it!
Welcome @cherietta ! It’s great to have you with us! I’m from Minnesota and have been practicing many different aspects of the craft for 35+ years. I currently work with voodoo, chaos magick and divination.
If you ever have questions don’t hesitate to ask. There is always someone here who can guide you.
This is a great place for learning and growing. I’m always learning new things here!
Blessings
I’m in Western Oklahoma so we’re almost 4 hours apart
Merry meet!
My name is Kat, and I’ve been practicing the craft for over 30 years. My interests include herbalism, gardening, and divinatory practices like tarot, throwing bones, and Lenormand.
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!
No worries at all We all make mistakes, in fact I think mistakes are one of the many teachers on the path - they help us learn and grow! 
I love the example Amethyst shared about taking off the pointy hat and settling in. I’ll second that - make yourself right at home, Cherietta!
Blessed be
Welcome. I’m Tracy from England. I follow the Nordic tradition. Looking forward to getting to know you lovely 
Hello! I’m Lucia, from Spain. Welcome to the Forum! I can bet you will find here like home <3
I just joined the April Tarot challenge (here ), I had to work up a bit of nerve but it is fun. if you wish go on over and take a look. It is not a real challenge in the sense of a test, it is a way to explore your cards while in a group of others doing the same.
I did day 1 and 2, but haven’t done today yet. I’ll try to do 3 and 4 tomorrow morning. I’m at my best in the morning
I love looking at all the different decks and reading the interpretations of the cards. 
@ cheriettaWelcome to the family of wizards and witches!
I am Airam from beautiful Greece and I am glad that you are with us!
