I’ve just found this forum while looking for witchy/pagan communities in my city, which was kind of a bust since I live in a pretty small, northern, kind of conservative city in Ontario, Canada. I’ve been really craving some kind of spiritual community lately, and missing old school forums for longer than that, so this seems like a really cool place to check out. I’m looking forward to meeting some of yall!
As for some info about me, my username pretty much everywhere online is featherfae and my pronouns are they/she/whatever i’m 31 years old, and I’ve been a witch for at least ten years (don’t really remember exactly when I started lmao). My practice has gone through a lot of shifts and changes in that time. Right now I think of myself as a witch and an animist, and maybe pagan depending on who you ask haha. Currently I’m focusing on learning some herbalism and I’ve also been very interested in deepening my ancestor veneration practice. I’m also trying to get back into divination and really trying to focus on living with the cycles of the moon and seasons.
I’m really hoping to make some friends here on this forum, since I’ve been practicing alone for a while now and I really would love just to chat with some people about the practice. I tend to be pretty painfully shy online, but I’m trying to step out of my comfort zone ^-^ I’m looking forward to chatting with all of you!
Hello! Herbalism is a deeeep rabbit hole and ancestor veneration is another. I don’t think you’ll have much trouble finding people who are interested in one or the other.
Welcome to our pack! So glad you joined us from Canada! I am very into the “veil” which includes many ancestors. I am not too great with herbal magick being from Vegas, where it is over 100 all summer. Not much produce to work with, too hard to grow stuff, and our water is restricted anyway. (You have to pay a yearly fee if you have grass in your front yard, different rules for the back yard, though).
So, you say you are into divination. Join me and some others with Tarot Talks for June, we are currently analyzing the Major Arcana. Feel free to come in anytime and leave an opinion/thought.
Thanks! I haven’t seen that site before, though I’m sorry to say it doesn’t help me ^^; I don’t know if you’re Canadian, and if you’re not you probably wouldn’t know this, but Ontario is huge, about 60% bigger than Texas. Most of the population lives in Southern Ontario, and I’m from a pretty remote city in the Northwest. The closest group to me on that list is a little more than a 10 hour drive, so not a great commute
