Aww Amethyst, im soo sorry to hear about that! You so dont deserve that but dont let her words give up your love and practices for wicca! And she's wrong...you never betrayed her in any way, your just following your heart and your destined path...
Perhaps she'll turn around one day and support you, maybe just give it a little time to sink in, so she accepts reality, and itll be less shocking......time
Dont be sorry for your posting! I thank you for sharing, thats what were here for! Cheer up! ;D

don't worry, your not alone! my mom told my therapist the first day that i hated Christian music and that i was Wiccan...i thought...uhh mom that is none of his business..and its not that i don;t like Christian music..its just that those people can't sing lol! and i live in PA and everyone is mostly Christian...luckily i graduated but this year has been odd..i haven't even told anyone but my close friends my beliefs and i have had this one Christian girl sit by me at lunch one day and begin talking about God...i'm not sure if she knew and planned to convert me..or what but it was weird and i was speechless... also in a class this one girl couldn;t read the board so i put my stuff under the desk so she could sit up front with me..and then after class she went to go back to her seat and she told me i was wearing the symbol of the devil... even when i told my parents they told me that mostly everyone believed in ONE God...but then how did everyone make all of these websites dedicated to this religion i replied...and people had to write the books...sing the music..ect and so therefore you are not alone and i'm sure when you get to college it will be easier-that i have been told Blessed Be Silver Lily

I don't hide my beliefs from my family or friends. My family knows but we've never been church goers or anything, more of an "always be moral" attitude than a pious one...although during sabbats I'm not so open about ritual because I'm not even sure how I'd explain it all when I'm still learning as I go. lol I don't hide the pentacle I wear except a few times when I felt surrounded by people who reaked of closeminded-ness lol My closest girlfriend knows although its difficult to discuss with her at times...she was raised Catholic but has a definite new age streak in her, tarot, other divinations, palm reading, astrology, past lives...lol mostly she dabbles but it makes our friendship all the stronger. My other gf's know but its not something we talk about on a daily basis if at all, one of them(and we aren't that close really) is very devout Christian and I know she thinks I'm a "devil-worshipper"(sp) lol but hey, to each his or her own right? lol she doesn't try to insult me anymore by saying things like "witches fornicate with the devil" and other stupid quotes that sound right out of the late 17th century... (sometimes now I think she just tries to be my friend because I'm "different" lol and somehow she thinks associating with me makes her seem "cool" or diverse or more modern/accepting...honestly I think shes full of bull lol luckily shes the only one I know tho and I dont have to see her a lot:) ) I don't like it sometimes when people want an explanation. The question "WHY?" gets exhasperating very quickly ya know? i mean I think to myself if I believed in a different religion would anyone even bother asking? The boyfriend would definitely need to understand and accept or at least leave my choice of religion be...course that hasn't been a problem recently lol so... Gosh I said I was gonna go to bed but I'm havin so much fun writing! lol Blessings

MM,
As everone on th old MB knows I am out for sure. I hide it from know one. I wear my neckless (pentagram) everywear I go and will tell anyone that askd what it means. I have been toss out of school for wearing it twice. But both times I was put back in on the grounds that I had done nothing wrong. I do not think it is a wrong to hide what we are but at the same time I think it is much better not to hide it because the sooner we all come out the faster we will be accept in the mainstreem of live. I have lost a few friends because of what I am (Not real friends if thay stop talking to me becasue of that) and my mom and dad do not talk to me much eather. But i feel better knowing that i am a peace with what I am even if the people around me are not.
*Blessed Be* WiccanSage

Congratulations Dark Rain!! I am so happy for you! That's awesome that your parents are okay with your decision to follow the Wiccan path! I wish my parents could be like that..my mom hates it that I'm Wiccan. She thinks it's "the devil's way of turning me away from god". Ugh..and she said once that she hates being in my room becuase she "gets a sense of evil". ::sigh:: O well..I'm learning to live with it. And at least she isn't completely taking it away from me and forbidding that I have anything to do with Wicca. Once I turn 18 I can do whatever I want anyway! Only four years to go! Yay! Oh I'm sorry I guess I'm just rambling now..but anyway I'm very happy for you!

I just recently came fully out of the broom closet. First with only my two best friends and then with my sisters than my dad. They've all known for awhile, it was my mom that I was worried about. But about a month ago I told her and she cares but doesn't show it lol. She trusts my decisions and knows I'm spiritual but she's a strict christian so she wants to make sure I'm not in a cult type thing hehe. But she hasn't looked it up or anything that kinda dissapoints me because it makes it seem like she doesn't care, but I know she does. So my family's supportive so I count myself blessed and lucky!

lol Liam! I know what you mean... yesterday my mom was so 'confused' because apparently Wicca reminds her soooo much of Christ, lol. Then \she was asking about 'skyclad' and making sure i wasn't running around the woods naked lol. But remember what dsnt kill you makes you stronger!!!!! And I am praying that things between you and your father get resolved! ~BESt Blessings~

up running around the woods naked would sure be uncomftable. wouldnt want to run into poison ivy or a pricker bussh (it would sure prick her lol
funny experience with my neibor the other day. I just put a 8 foot tall fence up around my property. As the workmen where putting it up my neibor came over and asked if it was so i could do my werid devil worshipping thingies outside. With a stright face i told him it was so i could go skinny dipping in my pool without perverts trying to look. He huffed away back into his house. But the funny thing is that there was a curtin on his window (the window has a direct view of my polol even with the fence.) the curtain has vanished. Good thing i hadn't been planing on going skinny dipping lol
