I had my Spiritual Awakening last August. I left the Accounting Industry to become a Spiritual Healer. Around the same time I ordered my first two books on Wicca! Wicca for Beginners and Wiccapedia! I was hooked!
On the first of this year, I cast my first Spell. I have been following the Wheel of the Year ever since!
I have been looking for an Online Coven to be apart of. I just haven’t find the right fit yet!
Thank you so much for having me! I am so glad that I found a Solitary Eclectic Group because I define myself as a Solitary Eclectic Witch!
Congratulations on the start of an exciting journey!
My name is Kat, and I’ve been practicing the craft for over 30 years. My practice is rooted in a blend of nature magick, green magick, and elements of hedgecraft. I work closely with the natural world, drawing inspiration from plant spirits, animal spirits, and liminal spaces. My interests include herbalism, gardening, and divinatory practices like tarot, throwing bones, and Lenormand.
There is a wonderful search function that will help you dig for more information in the forums!
We’re glad to have you here. Make yourself comfortable, explore, and feel free to ask questions!
I’m Feathertip, also new to the craft and learning every day. You’re in the right place! This is a wonderful and kind group, as well as being a great site to learn from.
Dive right in, and don’t hesitate to ask questions or share your experiences. Blessed be!
Thank you SOO much for your kind words. You have no idea how much they mean to me! You just totally made my week! My family isn’t supportive of me, so your support means EVERYTHING! You have no idea!
I am an Empath too! What Personality Type are you?
I am feeling a real connection to you already!
You sound absolutely fascinating! I want to learn as much from you as I can!
Your cat is beautiful. What is his/her name?
I have a Service Dog named Zeus. When I do Magick he mostly looks at me like I am crazy My familiar is the owl! My Spirit Animal is the Hawk!
I have always felt like the black sheep my entire life! Never fit in anywhere. I decided two years ago that I am happier on my own with Zeus! I am really glad that I found this community! I just cast a Spell yesterday intending to find a soul family, a community, and friends! Well, here I AM!
England to Texas - WOW! Quite a change I’m sure, right?! Do you like England or Texas better?
What part on England? My cousins are from Surrey!
My mom was the Vice Dean at the Nursing School in San Antonio for eight years. I have been to San Antonio twice and Houston airport once.
I much prefer living up North because I like to have all four Seasons! I also can’t imagine living down there in all that Heat! We are currently on day four of a Heat Wave here in New Jersey. My Service Dog Zeus and I have been so hot LOL! Zeus usually loves to sunbathe on the balcony, but it’s just been too hot. He looks so glum and sad that he can’t lay outside
I pull Runes, so I dabble into Norse Witchcraft a little bit myself. I have never heard of the other form of Witchcraft though! I’m going to go look it up now!
Yes, England to Texas was quite the culture shock - especially as it was August when I arrived here, all those years ago!
It was all a bit of a fairytale that turned into a bad dream – I married an American, moved over to the US and then, 14 years later we split up. I could have moved back to England then, maybe even should have, but I had a decent job and didn’t want to have to move back in with my parents!! So I found an apartment and stayed here.
Years later I remarried and Eric and I are now in our 18th year. We have thought many times about moving out of Texas - usually during the brutal heat of summer. But we’ve got a nice house now, and couldn’t get something as nice as this anywhere else without paying an arm and a leg for it. So we just sort of stay and grumble our way through summer (neither of us are from here originally). At least winters are mild, and spring and fall are wonderful. That makes up for the summers.
Right now I feel bad for those of you up in the northern part of the country that are dealing with the heat wave. At least down here, we’re geared up for it and have functioning air conditioning. I can’t imagine trying to make it through summer without it! I feel for you and Zeus!!
Oh, forgot to mention, I grew up in Staines, which is right near Heathrow Airport, so I’m very familiar with Surrey. Even now when we visit England, my dad (now 95) likes to take us out for drives in the beautiful Surrey countryside.
There are many eclectics on here. I am sure you will find kindred spirits. There are also a lot of specialists, like me, who dabble in everything and have a lot of fun learning and participating. Jump in and enjoy!
I’ve been with the Forum about a year and a half. It seems like I’m not so solitary anymore because this is such a great group to be with. We have members from all over the world, with a variety of specialties. If you have any questions, please do ask, and someone will pop in to guide you. Feel free to jump into any conversation which interests you, as that is how we get to know each other better. I’m looking forward to learning with and from you!
Welcome to the forum! I’m Bry, an Eclectic Witch and one of the moderators. Thank you for sharing your introduction, it’s very nice to meet you
It sounds like you have a lot of wonderful things happening - how exciting about your spiritual awakening, your first spell, and your path as a spiritual healer. Good for you!
I’ll echo what others have said about exploring the site and reaching out if you need any help. The Q&A category is a great place to ask questions and tap into the wisdom of your fellow coven members. We’re here and happy to help, or just chat about the Craft!
Make yourself at home here, Jacqueline. Blessed be!
Hi @Selena-Paloma ! Welcome to the coven! It’s great to have you with us! I’m from Minnesota and have been practicing many aspects of the craft for 35+ years. I currently work with voodoo and divination and I’m studying Enochian Magick. I’m also into demonolatry, opening my inner black flame and working with some of the demons.
This is a great place for learning, growing and finding some amazing friends. Don’t hesitate to ask questions or share. This is a wonderful, knowledgeable group.
I’m INFJ/INFP, depending on which test I take and my mood
I understand not having family support. It does make it much tougher! I was raised roman catholic and my grandmother and mother would be/would have been horrified if I tried explaining my path. The ironic thing is both of them grew up in the Appalachains and have folk knowledge of herbs and spirits
Currently, I have 3 boy kitties - Turbo, a 5-year-old white and brown tabby, Kermit, a two-year-old orange tabby, and my baby Newt, a 14-month-old brown tabby with white socks, but the one in my profile picture was my soul cat, Donut, who passed 2 years ago.
What a great name for a dog! I’m a huge fan of Greek mythology and have worked with Artemis, Selene, and Hekate. What kind of dog is your Zeus? (somehow I’m imagining a German Shepherd or mix )
I can relate to being the black sheep in a family. I’ve lived on the opposite side of the country from my family for over 30 years. But I’m thankful because I’ve found my partner, friends, kitty boys, and coven.
Thank you so much Doll! I get great Energy from you! I have joined a few Online Covens and never felt comfortable from the start, but I feel very welcome here already!
