🥰 good morning friends!

Just a small little intro into why I'm on this path ✨

I have been a practicing witch for almost 20 years now - self taught and solo mostly.

In 2021 I found someone with a dream to build a pagan community and haven in the Bible belt of Tennessee. I fell in love with the land and that idea and this became my home. I found my people, my family, and my purpose here 🥰 so I never left.

I have dabbled with Aphrodite for some time now. Seeking Her guidance as a match maker for others, petitioning Her for help in the fight against the patriarchy, and begging Her to help me love myself when that felt impossible. She always answered in one way or another so I knew she was listening, but I wasn't ready to commit. Worshipping a deity seemed wrong to me. I am a firm believer that I am my own God.

In 2023 at our Beltane festival I was camping without my friends or partner. I built a small altar for her in the woods my my camp and spent an amount of time meditating and just being in the moment with Her. I had heard Her whisper before, but on this day she spoke. She told me I am loved and I am Hers. I was completely filled with love for my life and all the people in it for the first time. This is where I am meant to be.
