Greetings @Smiles505 and welcome! My name is Kat, and I practice bioregional animism grounded in the North Carolina Piedmont, blending science and magick. I’ve been practicing for over 30 years. I create divination tools adapted to my local ecosystem, including ogham staves and seasonal tree sets. I also read tarot. I’ve studied herbalism, make my own herbal teas, and enjoy working in herb and vegetable gardens. There is a wonderful [search function](https://forum.spells8.com/t/how-to-use-the-search-function/18482) that will help you dig for more information in the forums! We’re glad you’re here.
