my divinations are the 5 Elements. I am drawn to the Moon in particular but also align with the Sun, Forklore magic is an important part of my practice, I use Crystals, Oracle, Anglo-Saxon/Runes, Angel Numbers, I love being in nature growing herbs, garlic. I am learning about Tasseography, Ocean and Weather Magic. I write and create my own spells which is both exciting and rewarding

Hi Feathertip, thank you for your kind welcome and your kind words my Kitty Kat that is 16 years old and my other one who took his wings last year was the same age he misses him very much, last year I started doing my ancestry and have become very connected to my loved ones that have passed, it has been amazing what I have found on ancestry. I am widowed and have a disability that keeps me at home so connecting to other people who have the same interests will be very exciting and cannot wait to gain lots of knowledge about the craft and getting to know how to get around the computer.
