Greetings everyone :) It is wonderful to see others who practice on these boards! My mom, Kim, let me know you all were here.
My name is Krystle(Or Ari/Aria), I'm 26 and have been a practicing pagan for roughly 15yrs, 11yrs with an official "title" attached to my faith. I was fortunate enough to attend a school that had a wide variety of literature available covering many different faiths and beliefs. Even though I came from a predominately Baptist(or Agnostic) household, I had access to a wide array. It allowed me to form my own opinions, for which I am very thankful.
What sort of areas do you lovely ladies focus on? Are you a kitchen witch, tarot reader? Do elemental energy workings? Are there any particular dieties you feel closest to?
I look forward to getting to know you all :)
Also, I love the idea or organizing swaps for the various Solstices and other such things. I'm predominately a solitary, but I enjoy having others to share experiences with.

Welcome Krystal! So happy that you have joined us. I loved looking at your etsy shop. I am an acupuncturist/herbalist and hope to be a garden witch this year. Starting to get serious about ordering those seeds soon! It feels like a very long winter here in Colorado.
I took a quiz that told me I am a Pantheist, though I don't go around substituting the word Universe for God. I am drawn to the feminine face of the divine. And I knit, knit knit! So that's me!
Blessings, all around,
Deborah

Motholelis(which, I love your name, btw) :
Thanks! For looking at my shop as well :) That is my main business one. I am hoping to open another shop in the near future to focus on making dream pillows, spell candles and other such things.
I've always been fascinated by acupuncture, but a bit afraid of it. The idea of tons of needles makes my skin crawl just a bit(fear of needles here).
I love in a small apartment, so gardening is difficult. I *hope* to attempt a small, hanging herb basket in my art room though. I hope you have luck with yours as well! There is something wonderfully satisfying about working with plants.
Huzzah for knitting! I'm still attempting my first scarf, two years in, doh!

Welcome!
I've been a practicing Heathen/Asatru for...gosh, eight years? (Where did the time go?) I belong to Odhinn, who smacked me upside the head one day and said, "Enough of this, you're mine." He's the father I never had.
I read runes and do white magic (I was once asked to curse someone but refused--so I turned it around into a protective/justice spell for the person who asked. What a headache.).
I crochet and spin, do some sewing and needlework--but I find I'm most spiritually connected when I'm working with yarn. (Ask me sometime how yarn affected my spiritual development.)
My Mister is a casual Lutheran, which gets awkward sometimes!

Alyce & Deborah- Have you read any of Barbara Brettons books? They are FUN reads. I just finished Casting Spells. It's about a 1/2 human 1/2 Sorceress that owns a yarn shop in a town that bears an eerie resemblance to Salem. Full of witches, vampires, werewolves, shape shifters (who own & run the theatre). She has 3 in the series. As a yarn lover you will appreciate.

Hi Krystle, welcome!!!!!! so glad you found us!!!! I'm more of the kitchen, hedge witch variety. more like an Appalachian Granny woman person. so I guess I really don't have a title. LOL.
Hi Kim, my daughter Deidre and I LOVE the Barbara Bretton books!!!! ready for the next one! I know you are really proud of Krystle, thanks for introducing her to us.
Have you read the Madelyn Alt books? I like those also. wishing you all a good weekend. blessings Phyllis |

Phyllis-Hi! Yes, I adore Madelyn Alt! I also have Juliet Blackwell and Heather Blake (she just wrote 1) waiting for me. Madelyn Alt holds a special place in my heart since she is originally from the same general area of Indiana that I am from. Laura Stamps has some nice ones as well, but she has moved on to more Paranormal Erotica.

Kim, I just added that to my reading list...considering one of my writing projects is a fantasy centering around a yarn shop!

You will really like it. It's just so enjoyable with all the fae, werewolves, witches. I really think you'll enjoy it. And it's from the aspect of "normal small town life" for them.

...Grr, it sounds like she already wrote what I had in my head! I should read it anyway to see how similar it is.

You should and I think you should continue writing yours. Actually, I think you should write yours first. it may be similar, but it will be different I am sure. :)

| Krystal, a big warm welcome to the thread. Thank you all for the book selections. Going to see if I can find them locally - if not, Amazon here I come again. Sound like good reads. |

Years ago, Kim; I just have to re-find all my notes (computer crash + moving twice). Sometimes I think I make notes to keep from actually writing. :(
Right now I'm in the middle of a totally different story, and I honestly don't know yet if it's in the same universe or not.

Thanks, everyone! Sounds like I should use writing as my distraction.

You should! I think as you write, if you do it daily, it comes easier. Plus, it could be cathartic. And it apparent we are a coven of readers as well, if you ever want to share! Do you spin your own yarn> I like to drop spindle spin, but have not worked at it in a long time. That would be an interesting element in your book...a majickal wheel!
