First time I started being genuinely interested was when I was 15 years old. It started on Tumblr where I saw witchcraft spells. At 12 years old, I had heard my friends with witchy parents talk about spirits and bring books to school that I would read so, that sparkled the light that kept growing until I started at 15. My mom bought me my first tarot deck but, I grew up with insanely Christian religious parents (cult-like sect). I would practice in secret... after years of bad friends who wouldn't support me; I'm finally saying f- it and fully studying it openly now.

I'd consider myself a kitchen witch (cooking/baking from scratch), green witch, and learning about celestial witchcraft. I practice a lot of different forms of divination. I love connecting myself with the seasons and celebrating certain sabbats for the solstices and equinoxes.

i grew up Roman Catholic and always felt out of place in it. i think i was a freshman in HS when i first started looking into my practice

I started my journey as an omnist spiritual witch when I was 17 I've just started getting into it more now just before I turned 20 (I'm 20 now)  I follow 9 deities of different pantheons 

• apollo (greek)
• Athena (greek)
• Artemis (greek)
• hades (greek)
• Persephone (greek)
• Loki (Norse)
• Hermes (greek)
• aphrodite (greek)
• Kali (Hindu I looked up if I could follow her and it said yes)

I was interested in witchcraft at around 16 years old when I stumbled into a local witchy shop, but I've only been practicing on and off for a couple years. I guess I could consider myself an eclectic witch

my ma was really big into tarot reading so i kind of grew up around it. Im so grateful though, its actually something ive recently started getting back into. she bought me a beautiful new deck for christmas last year so ive been getting used to them. seems to be going well so far :))

I started when I was 20 after a massive mental break. It made me realize that there is more then the physical. Now I have a bunch of tarot cards, crystals and even an altar to Aphrodite. 

I started to become interested in spirituality when i would come across videos on about it on tiktok, i always have every once in a while but when I became conscious at age 14 thats when I started to look into it then dug into witchcraft, with on and off researching as I become more in touch spirituality learning from my sister and learning about my ancestors I have come to learn I come from spiritual people with gifts. I have started to devolop psychic abilities. or so i thought, i actually always have but it would come and go every few years. It would be intutition. Now that theyre comign off strong with dreams, intiution, and just researching about it id like to learn more how to devolop it better instead of little tiny messages. Since i want to be a medium or a pyschic reader when im older 

Well, I've felt atracted to magic since i was a kid, an aunt from my mom's side knew hella lot about herbalism, and I always felt like the godess path was calling me.

Got into studying around the age of 12-13, but due that i live in a heavely chistian family couldn't practice any of it till las year, when a cacao bowl came to me and i saw it perfectly as a censer, and slowly things like special incense or my first and only tarot came to me.

I saw it as a sing, that this was my path and felt like someone on my family tree practiced it before i was born, so i just got more into it since last year.

Then I got books, and friends that are witches, wich is great cuz i can always learn more about the history of witchcraft, spells, rituals and divination.

And that's how i got here

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

I started practicing it at the age 13, when I found a book about card readings (hungarian playing cards, etc.)

I've been into creepy and supernatural things since I was younger, watched men in black with my dad, had one of those cringe 2020 zodiac sign accounts, I got a bit into collecting crystals at the start just because I thought they were pretty, then I started doing things like making spell jars and doing TikTok spells. admittedly I started off very uneducated, but now I'm on a proper learning path, I have over a million books to read and the majority of what I do is protection spells <3

My mum has always been witchy, she always had books on the subject and was besties with the local psychic! I always grew up with witchcraft in place of religion and never really thought twice about it, it was always just so normal to me! I was maybe 16 when I decided to actually do some real research and work out what I was personally into and shape my own path :)

I wasn't raised religious, but my mom always had that esoteric twinge to her. Then, when I was 13 something really terrible happened to me and I found strength in the unseen to carry on. I've been researching and practicing the occult since then, it's been almost 8 years and I feel very confident in the practice I've built over the years. The path is so incredibly hard but very rewarding. The thoughts, feelings and experiences I've received have been quite powerful.

My father was really into Carlos Castaneda’s books, so throughout my childhood he used to tell me stories from them and explain his own interpretations. Because of that, ever since I was little, I’ve seen the world as something where magic exists — not as fantasy, but as a hidden layer of reality.

When I was in elementary school, I somehow got my hands on a book about astral travel. I was completely fascinated by it, but back then I couldn’t make it work at all.

Eventually, sometime around 2006, while playing Oblivion, I became curious about why you couldn’t resurrect the dead — and unexpectedly, I found an entire forum of people who practiced death magic. I wasn’t really drawn to death itself, and eventually found out that the terminology they used came from another magical tradition. So I switched over and went to study in that school instead.

I studied there for about three years — not that I achieved any great results — but then a new teacher joined. He was doing things that seemed straight out of fantasy — things no one else at the school could do. He could resurrect a person’s past incarnation and teach how to work with it as with a spirit. I took his course, and it completely changed my life.

For another one or two years, I was trying to adjust to my suddenly heightened extrasensory perception — learning to turn that subconscious buzzing channel into something conscious and manageable.

After that experience, I knew exactly who I could really learn from. So in 2011, I returned to study under that same teacher — and I’ve been learning at his school ever since.

For a long time, he said that our level was about that of a "magical kindergarten", but recently we’ve moved up to what he calls an "elementary magical school". He often says that finding your true path takes many incarnations, so there’s no need to overthink it — just keep learning. Our curriculum is broad: everything that can contribute to the development of consciousness — life magic, theurgy, elemental magic… In fourteen years, we’ve covered so much, yet the road ahead is still long.

What I love is how structured the education is — six to nine hours a week — though conceptually it’s quite challenging. The teacher constantly plays with our consciousness in unexpected ways.

As for tarot — I first started reading online, around 2008, just for fun. It went surprisingly well, so eventually I tried working with a physical deck. I’m pretty good at it, but honestly, in everyday situations it’s often faster to just shift my attention slightly toward the future than to do a full reading. Still, lately I’ve been enjoying pulling random cards for people again — so I’ve returned to the practice. Nowadays, I even do a quick spread before hiring someone to join my team at work :D
