Hi, Merry Meet, my Magic name is Orella, I am very excited to join this group, I hope to learn about Herbs, and Majick, and join my hand in your circle and in friendship. I am a 57 year old 1st year student, I am happy with my "Group" classes, I am just felling like it is moving a little too slow for me.  I am a quick learner and an avid reader and most of this 1st year is familiar to me as my Mother, Gram, and Great were all Majickally powerful women even though they never called themselves Witches. They were Healers and Premonitionists, and Tellers of family and friends fortunes. They used regular cards instead of Tarot, and their pendulems were made of Needles and Red thread. My father was a Bible Thumper and forbade Mom to teach me, then I married into another Church and tried to live piously and be the example to my children.  Now they are all grown and I am divorced and I am learning what I should have learned over a half century ago.  AnyWay, sorry to bore you.  Thanks for letting me join, you are Well Met.  Thanks  Orella (Orella is my middle name and it means Divine Message in Latin)
