Hello and merry meet to all. I don't know if its too late to do this but I want to do the challenges but I don't think I should just jump into it at number 16 so I'll be starting here.
My Beginnings
Ok so, I'm a sophomore in high school and I've been pagan for about 3-4 years. Ever since I was a little kid I've had this deep obsession and love with magic and wizards and dragons and things of the like. But it wasn't until around when I was in the eighth grade that I actually became interested in paganism.
One day my mom came home and was reading "Wicca for Beginners" by Thea Sabin. I was extremely intrigued. My mom was about halfway through the book and told me about how she was just interested in it and was telling me everyrhing she knew. I immediately asked if I could read it when she was done. Of course, she said yes. I read that book so fast it was crazy. I've read it about 3 times since then and still love it. Its great for beginners of all types. Even the ones that arent Wiccan because there are a lot of good exercises in it.
Ok so for a while (about a year) I considered myself to be Wiccan. But just something didn't feel right about it. It just didn't click with me. My best friends (at the time) best friend, we'll call him john, opened my eyes to all sorts of types of magick. John taught me the very basics of Haitian voodou (I don't know much at all) and hoodoo.
So for a while, john mentored me but then we
just kind of stopped talking and then I didn't practice anything for about a year. Then, just about a month or two ago, I've rekindled the flame of practicing witchcraft from tumblr. Tumblr is a great resource for learning all about witchcraft and paganism (follow me @ded-watermelon lol).
My Practice Now
Now, being a sophomore in high school, I still have much to learn. My two best friends are also starting to pracitce with me and we have what we call a "learning circle" where we get together and just share what we know. Now, I consider myself to be mainly an eclectic witch and I have focuses on storm/weather magic, green/plant magic and hedge witchery and whatever else I feel like lol. Also, I have a very strong connection to the gods of Ancient Egypt and kemeticism that I'm just recently starting to explore (I feel a strong pull to the god Set/Seth). I also have slight interest in norse practices but I haven't done much research on it. So yeah that pretty much sums it up.
Hope you enjoyed and blessed be!
