Hi, @shirley1! I’m Amethyst from Southern West Virginia. Welcome to the forum! 
And you’re from Lancahire! I’ve always heard that’s a beautiful area. Nice! Tell us a bit about yourself. What kind of magic do you like? I’m fond of candle magic and chants myself.
If you have any problems, just give a holler, and someone will pop up to help you. I look forward to getting to know you!

Hi Amethyst thank you for reaching out, I’m Shirley Firemoon I’m pre-op trans woman getting my operation soon which I am looking forward to, I’m a green witch I love the energy I get when performing magic out in nature the feel of the earth under my bottom as I can’t stand due to disabilities and am permanently confined to a weheelchair, I like to infuse candle magic with nature.

Yeah, I use a rollator, and they don’t make parks with disabled people in mind. And even if they did, it’s so difficult to get out there. I get my nature from my windows mostly. At least you have your Earth Magic. I’m better with crystals than with plants. I have a brown thumb. LOL!
Good luck with your surgery! I hope it goes well!

Welcome, @shirley1 and Merry Meet! I’m Feathertip, from SE Michigan in the US. I’m a lifelong pagan and only within the last year have I intensified my practice to include Lenormand cards for divinity, while studying spiritual beliefs.
I love using candles as well, and I firmly believe you can’t have too many! 
Please don’t hesitate to ask questions about anything here - there’s a lot of information on the site, and it can be a bit overwhelming. Best of luck with your upcoming surgery, and I hope it goes smoothly for you! 
An all terrain wheelchair would sure help you get out into Nature more easily, and I hope you can get one soon.
I’m looking forward to seeing you around the forum and getting to know you. Blessings, and Happy Yule!

Merry Meet Shirley,
Welcome here with us. I am from “Vegas, Baby, Vegas”. I do daily oblations in my back yard with a tree stump as my altar. When I walk to the bus stop, I do my greetings to the elements. This is how I get my nature in. Vegas is part of the Mojave Desert. We are about 1 hour from Death Valley, California. I have been trying to work with crystals. Like Amethyst, I also have a black thumb….how many of you know a person who can kill more than 1 cactus, here in the desert??!! So, I am not a green witch person. I love the Sun, always have. I do solar magic, some chaos magic….my sun sign is Fire also. Anyway, I’m yapping too much. Well, welcome to the group, we are glad to have you. Lady Gene

Hello from the realm of Rowlett Texas. I am an Eclectic witch and I also just learned I am an Animist. I am new to that label but once I started reading into it, I resonate with it so deeply. I like a little bit of everything because everything has it’s own energy. Enjoy your time here. People are wonderful. Many the surgeons hands be blessed for the best outcome.

They need to make one! I bet there are a lot of people who would buy one. Well, if they had the money.

The make them in several versions. One is tracked and can go about anywhere. They are crazy expensive, though.
Here is one I could go for. Used on eBay it is about $17,000

I’ve got to admit, that looks cool! But a camo seat cover? Wouldn’t like your bum be covering that? What deer would be able to see it?
