Greetings and Merry meet to all. I do not remember when I joined this guild but I am sure it was a while ago. I never posted anything, nor have I introduced myself; So I figured now would be as good a time as any.

I have been a child of the craft since I was but a young boy and believe that I am a true witch reincarnate. I grew up going to church with my mother and grandmother, but I never felt like I belonged. I would always try to cast magik spells and was very interested in the world and the old way, though at the time I didn't know why.

About the time I got into the 3rd grade I happened across a book about Wicca and magik (found it in my mother's boyfriend's box of old books). From there I was hooked and began to practice the craft alone and out of sight from others. My practices remained that way, scrounging any book about the craft that I could find and writing magik symbols on just about everything.

I also studied up on magik and what forms it takes, practiced how to work it, and began to realize my gift. By the time I was in the 4th grade I was keeping a dream journal and I still do to this day. I found a teacher of the craft who took me under her wing by the time I reached Middle school, whom I studied under for many years, eventually evolving into my own form of pagan/wiccan.

Now you know a little about me; I guess I can start posting in the other guild threads haha. Fare thee well until we meet again.
