Hello all,
My name is Kristina. I’m from S. Louisiana. My ancestral heritage is Nordic , Spanish, and grown from the swamps of Cajun Country , Louisiana. I have been a self taught & independent researcher for the last 6 years. In my neck of the woods, the type of folk magick we use is called Cajun Gris gris (gree gree)
It’s my absolute favorite 
Welcome @SuckOnMySunshine . This a really great community! There is much to learn and explore here also. Im new to witchy/spiritual stuff. Some of my interests are qigong, crystals green/hearth and home type craft. I also like guided meditations. Looking forward to learning from and with you!
Many blessings 
Hi, @SuckOnMySunshine! I’m Amethyst from Southern West Virginia. Welcome to the forum! 
Do you like Kristina? Or @SuckOnMySunshine? Cause I gotta admit, that second one gave me a good giggle! It’s nice to meet you, either way! I don’t think we’ve had anyone from Cajun Country before. Not sure, but I’m sure I’d love to learn some of the folk magic you know. I know a bit about powders and things, but I don’t use them that much. Mainly because I live in an apartment building, they’d notice if I put powder in the hallway. We have a bunch of nosy people here.
I saw that you asked a question, and I’m sorry I didn’t have more answers for you. I’ve never really studied transmutation before. But it sounds like what is called Shadow Work here. Sort of.
I’m sure we can learn a lot from each other, though! I look forward to chatting with you.
Merry Meet, Kristina!
Your introduction has such rich energy! Nordic roots, Spanish lineage, and Cajun Country? That’s a powerful blend of traditions and lived magic. And gris gris work… I love that you’ve embraced something so rooted in your land and culture. There’s something really special about practicing what grows from your own soil. I have to admit I’ve heard of gris gris but I don’t know much else about it. I’m excited to learn more!
I’m Stephanie or Eira of the Living Hearth as I’m known here in the forum. I am an eclectic witch from California. My practice leans into hearth craft and green witchery, along with divination (tarot, runes, oracle, Lenormand), ancestry (I also have Nordic roots) and shadow work, and weaving everyday magic into home life: cooking, herbs, candles, and creating spiritual tools.
I really respect that you’ve spent years self-teaching and researching, that kind of dedication builds a deep, personal connection to the craft. I think you’ll find a lot of kindred spirits here who appreciate both tradition and individuality.
So glad you’re here!
Blessed Be. 
Welcome, @SuckOnMySunshine, and Merry Meet! We’re glad you’ve decided to join us. I’m Feathertip, from SE Michigan. I’m a lifelong Pagan, and I work with Nature and stay close to all her critters. I love growing and working with herbs. I practice Yogic meditation and use Lenormand cards for divination.
The best kind - sounds like you’re following where the path leads.
Cajun Gris gris sounds fascinating - I’d love to hear more about it from you. Looking forward to learning more! Blessings.
