I've been studying witchcraft since I was twelve years old. I found my best friend's mom's tarot deck and it was over from there. I was famous for my seances as a teenager, with my Ouija board and my haunted barn. I obsessed over my horoscope, even getting those books that had your whole horoscope for the year for Christmas every year. I had a huge book giving you every attribute of birthdays and how your birthday effects your character. I got really in to numerology. (I'm a 1 and my lucky number is 27.) I dabbled in palmistry. My rock and crystal collection continues to grow all the time. I make moon water, I follow the moon cycles closely, and I love to gaze at the stars. I consider myself a natural solitary Christian witch.

It has been very interesting watching people discover witchcraft through social media. I had to struggle to learn through books and my aunt and older friends. Head shop owners, bookstore owners, and the shopkeepers at the Ren fest were my teachers. Lots of books. Lots of just doing things my way.

(These people on the training have no common sense by the way.)

I read something yesterday that older witches are disturbed by the term "baby witch", which has become quite popular with the younger witches on TikTok and whatnot. I don't know why that would bother some witches. Be and let be. If they like the term, let them go with it. It's not like they're murdering babies to make witches. They're just expressing that they are new at the craft. At least they want to learn and to grow.

(I swear these people are idiots. How hard is it to figure out common sense stuff?) (Oh my God, I could teach this class myself. These people are idiots.) (People who put masks on their avatars are even stupider than people who wear their masks alone in their car.) (I have never been this sleepy in a training when I got a full night's sleep the night before.) (So hungry.)

I love the misconceptions about witches. I mean, sure. We love cats. Any color cats. But not all of us. Yes, rocks and skulls and the color black do figure into our home decorating more than your average bear. But we don't torture animals, we love them. we love the Earth, we are connected with it. Just like the moon and the stars and the tides, we are connected with nature.
