This time last year I began a journey that I had started in 2006 and had put aside because it was overwhelming to me. I put everything in a box and put it in the attic, knowing that one day I would go back to it when I had more time. Fast forward 15 years. Cleaning out the attic I came across the box. I knew exactly what it was.
I started looking at things on the internet and there was so much information compared to my 2006 journey. Through my searching I found Spells 8. It took me a few weeks before I posted anything in the forum. I was a 54 year old baby witch and thought how ridiculous that sounded. Now I know it is ok to be a baby witch at any age. The goal is to learn so you can grow. I have learned more in one year then I have learned in my entire life and I can truthfully say I am no longer a baby witch. It has been an awakening.
It has and will continue to be a beautiful journey. All of you are a family to me and thank you for the advice, love, hugs, and letting me cry on your shoulder.
Aww 
Ostara it’s been such an amazing experience and blessing to know you and watch you blossom into the witch you are today! I remember what it was like for myself doing something similar. I don’t know how many times I picked up and put down Wicca and witchcraft throughout my teen and young adult years – enough that I remember having notebooks full of information that I no longer have 
Anyway, cheers to you 
and many more witchy years ahead of you!
Yes it does @Amaris_Bane! Time flies, but in away I feel like I’ve known everyone for years!
Oooo… @Ostara Happy 1 year!
It’s been a great year with you & seeing how far that you’ve come & you continue to grow!
Here’s to many more witchy years ahead 
@Ostara I’m so happy for you I, too, was so overwhelmed when I began learning about the craft and had to come back to it years later when I was ready. I’m so glad you found your magical box when you did - you were ready.
That’s me! I’m a 54-year-old baby witch! Thank you for sharing - now I don’t feel so out of place!
My, how time flies! Congratulations on your one year anniversary my dear! You’ve grown so much! It’s been such a blessing to know you!

With love

Absolutely! I’m happy to know you – I can’t believe it’s already been a whole year!

Thank you @Susurrus, @jill5, @Amethyst, @marsha, @MeganB, and @AileyGrey!
Welcome @Catharine! It’s never to late to begin this wonderful journey.
@Catharine
I had been a witch for decades when I found Spells8. Because I was new here, I still considered myself a baby witch. Fast forward over a year, I’ve caught up with myself, but there’s always something more to learn.
Blessings
