My name is Kathy Storm and I just joined Spells8 after years of being on the mailing list only. I have been on this journey before but stepped away from it for health reasons and then Hurricane Ida last year and 2 months later a moved from Southeast Louisiana to Traverse City, Michigan. I am starting to feel lost again so have begun my journey all over again. There is so much to know and I want to learn it all, or as much as i can. I am a solitary witch, which is good since I don’t know if there are any covens near me. But I have this group to help and guide me. For that I thank you.
@kathryn24 I think you’ve come to the right place. The Spells8 community is warm and welcoming. It’s good that you felt drawn to it again, as that means that it’s community resonates with you and that you’re not really solitary anymore!
Wishing you a safe and wonderful magikal journey!

You are completely free to discuss here in your Introduction discussion- this is your very own personal place to chat about you and your interests as you get to know the forum! 
If any big questions or topics do come up here that would benefit from having their own space, I or another moderator will pop in to help you relocate them to their own discussion 
We’re always here to help, so post comfortably and make yourself at home, Kathryn!
Blessed be!

@kathryn24 merry meet and welcome to the forum and the Infinite Roots online coven!
You have everything within you and that you haven’t lost! Maybe start a BOS or journal so that you can look back on your witchcraft journey no matter what life/situation you end up in along your way…. The classes here are such a blessing and there are BOS pages that boost your retention and reference for spells and many other practices and witchy education!
We are excited to get to know you as you join us on this journey!
