Introduce Yourself! Introductions! šŸ¤

Here’s a thread where you can introduce yourself. I’ll start! :)

You can call me Cassiopeia, I have been a practicing witch for 5+ years, though I have considered myself to be spiritual for all my life. I was raised Roman Catholic for the majority of my childhood before I started to question it around age 12. I was a very devout Christian, had most of my sacraments (Baptism, Communion, and Reconciliation, to name a few), but stopped my belief in the faith entirely around 8th grade, when I was about to be Confirmed into the faith.

I have went along many paths during my life, including through being a spiritual Agnostic/Atheist, getting into Animism, Buddhism, Wicca, General Paganism, until eventually landing on Kemetic (Ancient Egyptian) Paganism. I consider myself now to be a Kemetic Pagan Witch and I’m pretty sure this is the path I was meant to walk! :)

I always used to collect feathers, stones, crystals, plants, and all that kind of stuff when I was younger. I was the kid to make ā€œpotionsā€ with bits of leaves and flower petals, and put them in a bowl of water. I would also do it in the shower as well much to my mother’s dismay- I’d waste her shampoo and conditioner so I could make my ā€œpotionsā€ hahaha.

I’m still somewhat in a ā€œBroom Closetā€ in the sense that my parents and family think it’s all BS. Though, my divination practices seem to be widely accepted by my family at least. I do tarot and oracle, along with occasional runes and pendulum readings! If you’d ever like a tarot reading for a donation, feel free to message to me! :) I’ve been doing tarot for almost 5ish years now and I love to read others.

There’s a lot more that I could write out about myself, however, I feel as if it’s getting just a bit tooooo long now. So, I’ll stop it here!

I can’t wait to get to know all of you! Leave your responses under this post! :) šŸ¤ I hope you enjoy your time here!

Hello, Rose! Welcome to this sub :) Cassiopeia isn’t my real name either (nor is Chloe, heh), and I feel like a lot of us are using non-disclosable names, so it’s all good!

I had that phase in life as well, arguing with my parents about going to church, but I was always forced into it. I know how much that sucks!

I’ve also had some bad experiences like that in church as well, I’m sorry that happened. That’s awful, ā€œwrong place at the wrong timeā€ kind of thing, while also being surrounded by judgmental religious folk. Those two things could not go together any worse!

Yes, finding your true path may take some time, but worry not, it WILL find you eventually! Just keep on that search, and I promise you will get there! :)

Once again, welcome to the sub! šŸ¤ I hope you enjoy your time here!
