I stated my age in my bio, however it is very perplexing so I'll explain here. I never knew what I did was called magic until I was 9. I started using magic mostly when I was 11. I am now 14.
I have been a witch all my life (but did not truly see it until later.)
I looked back about 20 years ago and saw how obvious it was, but with my mother being a die hard christian I was unsure of my faith for a long time but could not put my finger on it.
At 20 I realized and started looking into the faith but it was a little over 15 years ago that I became a die hard of the craft devoting myself to mainly Herbs, Crystals, and Candles in which I bring all 3 together in my spell workings for healing, love, etc...
My first experience on my own wasabout 11. Its been in and out of my life since then. I didn't have any formal training, so i didnt understandexactly what was going on with me.When itcame into my life, i justpushed it away. I'm 29 now and have been activly practicing for about3 yrs. Its here to stay now and I love it! Although, I can't help but to think of how far i'd be if i'd known what i was working with back then....
i wish i could say six, or i was born into it like a couple people i know, but i can't. i was 15 or 16 when i started researching and began my year and a day, now i'm 23 [24 in a couple months] and still practicing. granted as live goes, my studies either become a driving force or sit on the back burner depending on how busy i am, [i'd like to fix that] but i don't think anyone who has to work a 9-5 job with a bunch of stuff to do at home really can spend 3-4 hours daily studying like they did in school [or at least i don't. my studies have come down to reading for half an hour before bed lol]
in regards to finding your average, on this site i think it's about 15 or 16. the majority of the users i've seen are that age. about 75% or more will leave the site for whatever reason after a year or two though. sucks, but it's what i've seen. others do stay, so the second largest group i feel are in their early to mid 20's. after that you've got the occasional older user, [sudden wave of younger ones] but i think that's your average; mid teens.
