Hi All  
My name is Lorainne, and I have been a practicing Wiccan for about 15 years now.  
Although I follow the Wiccan Reid, I’m also a bit of a Eclectic Witch, in that I pull a lot of different things from different areas of Witch Craft.  
I live in South Africa, and wish I could have a cottage in the woods, but sadly my family would not like that.  
My hobbies are crafting of nearly every kind, reading and spending time with myself.  
Merry Meet, and Blessed Be!

> Just wondering if there are any other witches from the Southern Hemisphere here? Would love to hear how you are celebrating Samhain

> [@Samhain suggestions](https://forum.pagangrimoire.com/t/samhain-suggestions/169):

> So here in the Southern Hemisphere we are looking towards Samhain coming up in a few weeks. In my previous, “non-out-as-a-witch” life, I would have a private little ritual but this year I want to do something more involved. I make and sell herbal skincare, herb seedlings and dried herbs at local markets and I’m thinking of making little “altar-in-a-box” kits for sale. These would be about the size of a drinks coaster (if I can find the right sized boxes) and would contain some starter items for …
