A few years ago, I did a similar thing. I moved my newly-divorced self and my 3 year old to a small town in nowhere, VA, hoping for a simpler future. Then 2016 happened, and I realized the simple charms I wanted to see belied anger, resentment, and evil. We left in 2017 and leave in liberal, happy MA now :-). Good luck, but prepare for loneliness.

Exactly how I felt when I got to Virginia 6 years ago!! But your people are out there. Magical people are never obvious. You will find each other. I would focus on your land, which probably has some amazing old trees, faeries and it’s own unique imprints. You can do an equinox fire ceremony!!!
