How long have you studied your craft?


I first started looking into witchcraft when I was roughly 11 or 12 when my mother first started practicing Wicca. I didn't take it too seriously and ended up dropping it for a few years before getting back into it around my late teens. I started seriously practicing when I was 18 and have been seriously studying for roughly 6 years now! I've definantly come a long way on my journey and feel like I still have so much more to learn. For now I've seperated myself from Wicca practices and have gone more into eclectic paganism, focusing my practice in on hearth and home with a smidge of kitchen and green witchery in there.

How about ya'll?

I started in college when I spent a semester in Ireland in 2004, so that's 17 years. 


I'd like to thank my Irish History professor for our unit on Pre-Christian Ireland and all those field trips to pagan sacred sites. The Neolithic and Bronze Age spiritualities seemed more enigmatic at the time, but there's a bit more in the written record about druidism (though not much there either). Druidism is much more accessible in modern terms and varieties, so I ventured down that path. 

I was solo by choice until 2011 when I wanted to experience more community interaction. I joined the Reformed Druids of North America, and that's been my spiritual home ever since. In 2013 I was ordained to the Reformed Druid priesthood and founded a Grove the same year. We've been meeting on the Wheel of the Year high days for rituals ever since.

I've been practicing tarot / oracle for about 2 years now. I eventually want to study witchcraft in depth but I feel like I haven't gotten to a point in my Tarot journey to move on to things more serious.

I've been studying for about three years now but I've been practicing since I was about 4 or 5. That sounds super young but my family members all practiced so i grew up in and doing the craft. 

And I generally I do all types of magick.

I started my journey into Druidry back in 1999 and was solitary until I joined OBOD in 2019. I am slowly doing the bard level studies, but I am enrolled in college right now and that takes most of my attention.
