I stay in the closet for my kids sake. we live in the bible belt and i truly think they would be shunned for it. Its a sad but true fact.

"I stay in the closet for my kids sake. we live in the bible belt and i truly think they would be shunned for it. Its a sad but true fact."I live in a small "hick" town with four different churchs in it. If you don't belong to one of those churches they look down on you. And if they knew of my religious choice, there would be a big problem. So, I understand where you're coming from. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

I'm honestly still really fascinated with this religion and have searched alot. My mom and father are really spiritual and then my other set of parents are not so quite but Bible stricken, but that's ok every one has there own way. I just hope I can better understand this = ]

i dont know how much of a congrates are in order. on one side at least she knows and i dont fell so bad for her not knowin and on the other she ish not very understanding. she dont let me practice wicca cause she thinks its well idk not nature nor tradition based and she probably thinks its evil. she gets all defencive and attacky the moment wicca ish mentioned. she thinks the native american and paganisum ish more nature based and traditional. she even went as far as to say that they were alot like christianity. now i dont know much about the native american religan but i know it like the pagan and i believe wiccan were nearly wiped out by the christions so i dont think that it ish anything like christianity and i know paganisum aint. i finally break open the broom closet only to find the rest of the house locked as well. -_-

There is a book called When Someone You Love is Wiccan. You should try to find it and have your mother read it. Why don't you have her look up what wicca is all about. Tell you she is just making presumptions and can't possibly understand your draw to it until she looks into it. It might not be one of the originals in itself but it is based deeply in them. Tell her to please put her preconceived notions about it aside and look at it with an open mind.

i have tryed axplainin it to her and i cant get the book till she finally goes and gets that job app for the goodwill they are lookin for ppl who are disable or somethin like that and my mothers friend gave her the card for them but mother doesnt give herself the time to get it and even when she does have the time she just sits on the puter. she knows i can ride the PATS bus to work. the guy i talked to at the goodwill said that they work around they workers bariers soz they can get to work. soz i only have to work when the pats bus ish runnin but i think mother ish scared to let meh go.

well i,m back after stepping out of the closet,Im still low profile,but life is grand,life is alittle more clearer.for me I am just being an example not shoveing down folks throats,its just as bad as religous one knocking your door,calling you or the missionary visiting you,its their thing,respect can get you further,just start studying on keep toy ur self till your stronger and very familar with it all,hope you find peace to wonder through wicca and learn natruals waysbright blessings Do you find this valuable? |

now i have a question i am soon to go to college and i cant figure out how to get my stuff there with no one seeing. i have a staff i made for wicca and i dont want no one to see it i have walking stick on regular basis cause i walk funny and sometimes i fall but i also have a tote box with some of my things in. but i cant see how i can bring it unless i tell everyone who i am and thats kind of dangerous around here.
