I told my grandparents I wanted to practise Wicca

[TheStarlessSkye]

When I told them, I was expecting them to be really angry and all. They're SERIOUS Christians. But they knew Wicca wasn't evil. They told me they know a Christian Wiccan at the church they attend. So that's a relief haha. I guess I'm lucky :/ I know some of you guys have real strict parents who are strong Christians.

Congrats biggrin
I'm still having mixed feelings about telling my family. On one hand, my parents are usually very accepting people, but they are also the sort that would never look at you the same way again. Not to mention my brother has made it clear that he believes it is evil...  

[Sanguina Cruenta]

That's good!

I take it you didn't correct them and say there's no such thing as christian Wicca? Lol

Zorn, Zorn, Zorn, Zorn, Zorn...!

That's a releif. My grandmother thinks I'm going to "hell" and so she hates my guts. o_o

But my parents that I live with don't really care. Lol.

... Blut, Blut, Blut, Blut, Blut!

That's good. It's nice that you can be honest with them. You may want to inform them that there's no such thing as "Christian Wicca" (although you are allowed to have your own opinion on this), it may also be wise to also tread carefully in this situation. Good luck.

That's a good thing!

My parents wouldn't make such a big fuss about it.

Ah. I guess it's hard for some people. When I told my dad, which was over a year ago, he also said it wasn't evil. My mum was in the same room when we were talking about it, and she was convinced it was evil and satanic. And I've managed to convince her it isn't. If anyone has good patience with my mum, then I guess they're very lucky, or not.

Actually, I did. But they were a little.. Huh? About it. They must know it isn't evil. Maybe they've studied it. Or they just know. My Grandma said that a Wiccan back in the old days when witches were burnt, was hung just for doing a public ritual. I guess my Grandma knows it's about nature and the 5 Elements.

That sucks D: I'm sure you won't go to Hell.

Well, I thought I'd say this to lift your spirits:

I have a friend, who claims to be a Satanist, but, his reasons and views on Christianity are very agreeable and understandable. He said something about the bible stating that the world was created 10,000 years ago, which clearly isn't true, since we have fossils dating back to 100 millennia. He also said Satanism has more scientific based views, therefore making it more understandable.

Yeah. I'll tell them I'm into practising wicca, but they won't know what I will do and stuff. It's like letting them know how I do a religion, which I wouldn't do.

My mum thinks it's weird when I light candles and incense and turn the electric lights off in my room. Well, I enjoy candle light more than electric light. She thinks it's "funny". Plus, she knows I have spells, and she sometimes jokes: Cast a spell on my boss". (She hates him). So I say: A hex or curse? I'm not capable of that. Wiccans don't harm others with their magic, if so, it comes back to them, threefold.

I then told her the rede, which took a while for her to understand.

Haha, Yea I guess.

I think they figured it out already a little bit when I started buying stones and tarot cards and incense.

But my mother likes those things too, so that's a big plus.

They would probably say "Whatever makes you happy".

Mum tried to tell me that I was better off being a Druid. She didn't like the idea of Wicca, I have no idea what her view of Wicca was and still don't exactly know but she doesn't care as long I don't do anything "voodoo". Although, when I was still trying to find where I fit years ago, she suggested Wicca, but when I told her that they deal with magic she said I'm definitely not Wiccan. Guess she has/had a problem with magic.

Dad...I'm pretty sure he doesn't care. When I was in the ER a few months ago and I was returning to my room after an X-Ray or something I heard a doctor ask what religion I was and I heard him say Wiccan. I felt really happy about that because when I told Mum, she said she would have said Christian. Don't know why she would have when clearly I'd be breaking oh so many rules.

Although I wonder what my Dad's mother would think....She's a Catholic and doesn't really like my sister because she wasn't baptized Catholic. I'm interested as to what she would think....

Nothing you've mentioned there is specifically Wiccan. The Rede in particular is not specifically Wiccan.

You may want to review what you think Wicca is against what it is factually.

Back in the old days? Like...the 1940's or 1950's?

Wicca isn't that old. Likewise not all witches are Wiccan.
