I am no stranger to the Craft. I have been studying it for 37 years now, limited by a mother who was a devout Lutheran, and being a homeless person surrounded by Christians. Over the past 10 years or so, my minor abilities have begun to grow. I could always sense positive and negative energies around me, but over the past 4 years I have begun to see them sometimes too. I have always been empathic, and wanted to help people however I can. I have been in some horrible and oppressive places in the past 4 years, and it has begun to affect the way I act and see things. I have lately become more of a friend of nature and nature has even seemed to protect me sometimes. I talk to animals when I can, and I Love 
taking care of animals and plants. I sometimes have psychic visions,but these are random and uncontrolled. I have minor esp abilities, and good intuition. I can still sense energy around me, and I have found 2 places in the Denver Colorado Metro Area where I can feel the positive energy there and I feel at peace there. Alternatively, there are places where the ambient energy feels very negative and very uncomfortable to me. I have not been part of a coven in over 5 years, and I really miss it. I also attended the Denver College of Wicca and Old Lore from July 2007-October 2009. Attending the classes was very fun and exciting. Thank you, everyone. Blessed Be.
Welcome Steve,
It sounds as though you have been through a lot, especially recently, but am so glad you have managed to find a place that brings you peace. I hope you find the same kind of feeling here.
Hi,
You’re a really strong person. I’m glad you joined this community. Hope you feel peace and welcome around here. 
Merry Meet Steve,
Welcome Back to the Craft. I had a traumatic experience April of 2024 and found my way back, also. It sounds wonderful about your abilities. I love that you can “talk” to the animals (I do occasionally, too), so I understand…it is a very satisfying gift. Amazing that you are starting to see auras. Even with difficulties you have had, you have been able to tap into the unseen world. Congratulations!!!
Welcome to the group, and I think you will find everyone is very accepting. I hope you will be able to find a group in your area to belong to. I’m in Vegas, don’t know anyone in the state of Colorado.
Merry Part and Great Vibes sending your way, Lady Gene
