(Trigger warning: I mention Domestic Violence, not in any detail other than to tell my story)
Hello everyone,
I hope I do this right. (If not I can totally take this down!!)
TLDR - I’m a witch coming back to the craft looking to make friends while I start my life over
I’m coming back to the craft after I fled my DV marriage. I lived in the Pacific Northwest for a little more than a decade before coming back home to the Midwest recently. I’ve started the recovery and healing process. Most importantly, returning to what I believe in.
I learned of the craft as a child. My mom was somewhat known in our community for practicing astrology and reading tarot. My grandmothers on both sides believed and also practiced astrology, tarot. So it was a family thing. Unfortunately I’m the last one left. So I don’t really have anyone in my life who believes.
I am learning so many things.
I hope to learn from you all and hopefully get to know many of you.
Long days and pleasant nights
Vela Nocturna (my witch name)
Welcome thrice over! Happy to have you in the “fold,” so to speak. I’m a relative newbie as well and I came out of a marital situation much like yours. I’ve found the craft to be both stabilizing and invigorating, and this forum has provided a warm foundation for starting over in my practice.
So, again, welcome and may you find what you seek here.
Welcome back as they say! It’s very special to have that family history, you’re right about that. It gets lonely these days, so I’m happy to be here. And I’m happy you’re here, too!
