wicca and my parents

I am so scared of my parents knowing I am a wiccan they are catholic. I know they will still love me but I am afraid that at the time they will yell at me and say things they don’t mean and hurt my feeling for a very long time (like months not hours). my feeling were hurt when my mom said “whats wrong with you”. im a very sensitive person. how can I tell them so that they won’t be angry? im a minor and I know until I turn 18 they “control” me but it is what I believe in. my mom refers to wicca as “dark witchy stuff”

please help

Answer #1

being wiccan is kind of a hard thing to hide, your pentagrams will most likely be discovered sooner or later.

but I agree- where is the harm in simply being who you are- in private, it is your personal belief.

I guess I would weigh the pros and cons- if you admit to them that you are a wiccan- what would the response be?? taken to a catholic church to be exorcised?? as you stated- having your parents mad at you for a few months??? the air is much easier to breathe when you can be who you are in front of everyone- but history has shown the reaction of SOME religious zealots to discovering a “witch” among them. you have to be EXCEPTIONALLY STRONG to tell your parents what you believe- ARE YOU THAT STRONG YET??? if you answer that question as “no” then don’t bring any heat down on yourself at this time.

if YOU ARE THAT STRONG, and can handle what your parents and their fellow parishioners are going to throw at you- “being evil” in their eyes, then I would say STAND YOUR GROUND AND TELL THEM WHO YOU ARE- but accept that there is going to be consequences for that discloser- I have had to face down my own family on many occasions on the religious subject- I state my beliefs, and if they don’t agree with it then they know where the door is- I don’t give into their pressuring- I KNOW WHAT THE TRUTH IS FOR ME.

MY ANSWER- no, don’t bring anything unwarranted down on yourself by disclosing your beliefs to your parents- get stronger in your beliefs, and then once you are older- THEN tell them who you are and what your beliefs are, the time to stand your ground is in the future not in the present- religious folks can be narrow minded when they meet opposition to THEIR ways of thinking.

Answer #2

do you even know about thing about the wiccan Religion? if you are wiccan which I doubt you are. then you will not care what they think

Answer #3

yes I am a wiccan- all I said was that I was nervous not that I was afraid of what they will think

Answer #4

how old are you? do you really want to tell them,?? because seems to me there not exactly the understanding type… but if you must kind of beat around the bush and ask what theyd say if hypatheticly you were or sumtin
