#begginerwitch

So thought I'd make a little (more like long) rambl-y post telling you about myself and also talk about how I came to the realization that I was born a witch.

First off my name is Anna. Im 28. Bi-racial she/her. And as you can see in my bio I'm a solitary eclectic witch. I Live in the middle of nowhere and am a broke ass bitch lol. So a lot of my craft is DIY and finding cheap solutions for things.

I'm still a bit of a babywitch as I haven't been studying witchcraft that long. Witchcraft and the occult is something I feel I have always been a little drawn to even as young as my childhood I was always drawn to different aspects of witchcraft. I remember being a kid and always being drawn to crystals and precious stones. I would collect them when my family and I would travel. I also have always been drawn to water. I've loved the water since I was a small child and I grew up on the coast of California. I used to also collect shells and swear they held some sort of magical energy in them when I was younger.

My family used to tease me when I was younger always calling me a witch because I was born on Halloween or Samhain. Not only was I born on Samhain but so was my Grandmother and so was her Grandmother. This goes back 5 generations. Always skipping a generation. Always the firstborn Granddaughter. I dont know if my grandmother was a witch or if any of my ancestors were but it is still very interesting to me and something I want to research and look further into.

Moving past my childhood, as a teenager I dabbled in witchcraft for a bit. I was very interested in it. I would play around with spells and rituals and even tried to perform a few full moon rituals. I had looked up some spells on the internet and was really interested in it however decided to give it up. I was already extremely shy and people thought I was weird enough as it was, that I thought if I didnt give it up, I'd be considered an even bigger freak or be made fun of. So I gave it up.

Until last year. When my mom got so extremely sick, she almost died. My mother is from the phillippines and our family doesnt practice witchcraft but they believe in it. Good witches and bad witches. Last year my mom was given a "love potion" by a new "friend". Another filipina lady who is a Bruha. A witch. Shortly after given this "potion" to "help find love" my mother got extremely sick. She almost died. She is still recovering to this day. During the time my mother was sick her family in the Philippines visited a witch doctor or a voodoo man of sorts who, through rituals and divination, told my mom that someone had cursed her. And to think about anything odd someone had given her. Until this moment she hadn't thought anything about the "love potion". She then told the man about it. He said with 100% certainty that it was this woman. She cursed my mom. He gave us a set of rituals to perform and told her to get rid of the "love potion" and destroy it. We did everything he told us to and through these rituals and some modern medicine as well my mother finally went into recovery. I should mention before consulting the voodoo doctor, my mother was sick for months. We visited so many doctors and hospitals and doctors either didnt know what was wrong with her or they completely misdiagnosed her and gave her treatments that didnt work. It wasnt until after doing all this and destroying the "love potion" that we were able to finally find a doctor who knew what was wrong with her. From there I decided to fully study witchcraft and came to the full realization that I've always been a witch.
