Hello 
I’m Stephanie and I have always known I was different somehow. I find myself to be very mystical in my thinking and I am very empathic. It’s hard for me to describe myself because I’ve always hidden who I really am away from others so bare with me 
Magic has always filled my life and now my life is finally mine. Long story! I am a very new baby beginner and I need all the education I can get! It is so very nice to meet everyone!

Merry Meet @stephanieanne76 I’m Siofra from Cape Cod an Eclectic & very empathic… it’s ridiculous really, my ancestors put too much faith in me & my family enhanced those gifts immensely over the years. Anyway! I’m happy that you are here! It’s a great place to learn & meet new people. I have made some lifelong friends here!
Feel free to jump in on a topic, start your own, ask any questions, someone will get back to you either with help & some kind of answer or point you in the right direction. 
I hope you find something that piques your interest & I look forward to speaking with you soon!

Hi @stephanieanne76! I’m Amethyst from Southern West Virginia. Welcome to the forum! 
A good way to start learning is with the Courses here on the site. Another is just jumping in and doing magic. Don’t worry if you make a mistake or something, you won’t turn into a newt. LOL!
If you have any questions just ask and someone here will pop up and help you out. I look forward to chatting with you more!

Good morning all! It is beautiful here in Southern California. I love the early mornings when the sun is rising and everything is quiet.
Last night, I completed my self initiation ritual. It went well, a little fumbly with the words but I found it to be very profound and I feel more grounded to the earth. It was a perfect night for it. The waxing gibbous moon was right outside my bedroom window, high in the sky, dressed in diamonds, shining down her light. I even had two cats outside to sing me a song lol!
I still have so much to learn and I am so grateful I have such wonderful people to turn to. I love the feeling of community and family here! Thank you so much.
Blessed Be
