Should i keep it a secret?
Posted by Hale143 on 2010-03-07 13:16:13 |
| hi, im trying to decide if i should tell my family that im a Wiccan. pretty much my whole family are Christians and im the only wiccan EVER in my family. i live in a small house so theres no privacy for me to do rituals or anything. no one in my family knows that im a wiccan. So should i "come out of the broom closet"? |

| I too live in a all Christian family. Uptight family more like it. My mother is not ok with my doing it but it doesnt matter to her bc i am the same person. As long as im following God which i am bc im a Christian Wiccan. But if its really eating you up inside then just tell them but also explain it to them. That your skin won't go green and you'll grow warts and cast evil demon spells on them and other people and go dance with satan. I'm not sure if your into the white or black magic. i'm assuming that you are a witch the does white magic. If so explain that to your family that you are not harming yourself or anyone around you and that it does not involve demons or satan. |

| There is no shame in keeping it to yourself. Some people tell the world and it works, others keep it on a need to know basis like I. only my closest friends know and if I was to get into a relationship. Sometimes telling family that do not share the same beliefs as you only causes friction and many Christians may feel your Hell Bound and your family loving you will constantly want you to change. I have been Wiccan for 30 years. I figure why put my family through that. I choose the path of least resistanmce. |

| My family is very supportive of my religious choice as is my boyfriend and all my closest friends. I got very lucky but I was terrified to come out of the Broom Closet at first because Wicca is so stereotyped. My Grandparents who are very Christian have even accepted me. I still bow my head for Grace before Dinner I just say a different in my head. I still celebrate all the Christian Holidays with my family. A few members have even asked to be included in our Holidays. In the end it's what you want to do but my suggestion would be research so you can answer any questions with an informed answer and if you feel they can handel it then give them the benefit of the doubt they might just surprise you |

| I agree with Hydro and PC here. Some in my family have actually asked to come to Sabbat rituals. Others, once informed, now joke at their preconceived notions of me summoning demons to come up through the floorboards. Just try to explain it to them and remember: Keep A Level Head! |

| Maybe you should hint at it for a little bit. My household and one friend know about me. I just caught my very non-judgemental mom in a good mood and told her everything about me. I had to tell her or else I would never be able to get anything for rituals and whatnot. I would love to tell me grandma, but ever since she got a roommate she's actually started going to church and has become a really devout Christian, and I'm just afraid she's going to think I'm Satanic, which, of course, I'm not. |
