I’m an eclectic witch with paths following mainly Green and Kitchen. I’m mixed-blood Cherokee Irish and Scottish. I was raised following these traditions. I started my witchcraft Journey back in the early 70’s ( Yep! I’m a crone that has seen 70 winters! ) Back then it was extremely difficult to find much information about the craft or to find any people willing to admit they were a witch. So after awhile life got in the way and I put it on the back burner, but I always intended to eventually find my path back. I’m a hippie nature loving witch. I live in a very rural area in Northeast Alabama. I’m a solitary witch. There are still no witches in my community. The nearest covens are in Birmingham and Huntsville, both are an hour away from me. After my soul mate and husband crossed over due to cancer I began finding my way back. So between books and the internet I started learning the craft. I’m fortunate to have a quiet place in the woods where I can practice my craft and greet the Creator and practice my Cherokee traditions as well. I look forward to learning new things and sharing things with others. I’m following the herbal path and just received one of my herbal degrees and working on another one. My maternal great-grandfather was a Cherokee medicine man and so was his son. He taught his wife a great deal also. He left South Carolina, met his wife and they lived in the Okefenokee Swamp in Southeast Georgia where the locals called him a witch doctor and her the swamp witch. They still talk about them and how much they helped anyone who was in need. Have a wonderful witchy day!

You have a wonderful sounding practice!
Great seeing another experienced shaman here. I’m not a true herbalist per se, but I’ve always favored natural medicine over any of the “medicine” produced by the pharmaceutical giants of the west lol. My practice is akin to a type of shamanism as well, albeit a very rare one in the west so I can relate to being am extremely solitary practitioner lol.
You’re in the right place if you’re looking for community!
