Hello everyone,
My name is Wendy Ward. I live in Indiana. I have always been fascinated with witches, herbs, spell casting and crystals, tarot readings, and palm readings. I am brand new to everything. I am learning so much from the disscussions and the classes that are available. I had a chat with my sister tonight about what type of witch she thought she was she said earth, she also said I would be kitchen. And everyone that i know that practices the craft gave me the same answer. I love to cook and the kitchen is my safe place and where i am most comfortable at. If i am having the worst day ever i cna walk into my kitchen and everything melts away. I use herbs all the time in my cooking. And just a few days ago i wanted to make my own Book of shadows and found this wonder community. Im excited and neverous about this new wonder journey i am taking. And i hope to learn alot!
@wendy Hello and welcome. So lovely to meet you. I love the kitchen too, it where all the good stuff happens. You’ll meet lots of fabulous witches here, all types. I’m Tracy from Bristol England, I follow Loki and am learning chaos magic, I love the runes, oracle and I do love plants but am no expert on herbs and palm reading is something I’ve always wanted to learn. There’s so much to learn here on the app and with the coven. Everyone is warm and friendly. Have a lovely day. Blessed be

@wendy Hi I’m Christeena, and I’m 43, a mother of 2 adult sons. One is a paramedic/firefighter, and the other is a Marine. I was a 911 dispatcher supervisor until my doctor advised i would have to retire to my illness. So now I’m here, and per my wonderful friends here, I’m the Mistress of Herbs. I live in a very very small town in Central North Carolina with my hubby of 21 yrs, our 2 dogs and 3 cats. I was raised Pentecostal and was always told that my gifts were evil, so they were suppressed til just a few yrs ago when i finally accepted all of myself. It has been an amazing journey with alot of bumps along the way. But it’s all worth it bc for the 1st time in 43 yrs i feel whole.
I have a HUGE affinity for herbs. I’m certified as a Holistic and Natural Healer. I commune with spirits, and my guides. I’m a daughter of Hekate, The Morrigan, and Thor. I will help anyone, usually to my own detriment. But I’m still just gonna do me. If you ask me a question please be prepared for an honest answer. Sometimes brutally honest, as I am blunt. I don’t sugar coat things. Here you will find so many like minded brothers and sisters who will welcome and accept all of you with open arms without condescension. If you have questions all you have to do is ask. We are all here to help each other. You will find people from all walks of life and paths.
I’ve been posting bread recipes for the holiday. I hope you’ll like it today.
This is a wonderful idea. I will have to look into this more! Thank you
I feel right at home here. I cant wait to lewrn more from each of you
That’s awesome! May I ask what type of herbs you gave a new home?
I hope they are adjusting well and that they will thrive for you- so mote it be!
@wendy we are always here for u. All u gotta do is reach out to one or all of us and we willbe happy to help u. Just ask.
