Okay, I finally felt it was time for me to tell my parents of my interest and persuing of Wicca if I was to grow any further (kinda felt restrained not having them know). I grounded myself (as was suggested in a book I read think it was by Silver RavenWolf), cleaned the kitchen table and then meditated and asked for god/ess assistance in explaining to my parents my choosen path as effectively as possible as well as to help them have a open mind.
I couldn't figure out how to start this easily, but choose to wear my newly purchased pentagram. I, also, readied myself with Silver RavenWolfs To Ride A Silver Broomstick and Scott Cummingham's Living Wicca. I had highlighted sections I wanted to show to them.
Well, my dad went straight to bed when he and my mom got home......which I didn't stop him because he has been real ill and on medication so I felt it was best to tell him at a later time. I pointed out my necklace to my mom. Her shook her head and put her head in her hand when she realized what it was..........."It's the sign of the DEVIL," she said.
My brother (who helped me quite nicely through all of this) said, "No it ain't mom! Turned upside down it is (which I have heard is actually now being shown to mean the progress a witch has made in her religion, right?)."
She answered back, "How do YOU know of this?"
"I just do! Friends know about it and such."
Well, I had her read the 13 principles , though she didn't want to at first.....
My brother at this time also blurted in, "Mom, you know she wouldn't just fall for anything! I'm sure she knows what she is talking about."
So my mom read on...we went conversing back and forth on things and I explained how we feel all religions are 'right' (also told her I had this belief BEFORE I found Wicca)...I went on to explain that We are sooo diverse everyone has their different tastes.....the goddess and god seeing this created many religions to help us stay close to them!
She then asked why I waited so long to tell her (told her I was studying it for 2 years). I said, I wanted to 1. Make sure this is what I wanted before I told her 2. Be prepared when I did tell her!
I actually cried some after telling her.......I felt a rush of relief come over me! My mom is very special to me and keeping that part of me secret from her was just very hard on me! (Actually gonna tell her that!) :) Now I only have left to tell my dad which shouldn't be too hard as he has a strong sense that I am a responsible knowledgable person when it comes to learning things, and my brother and mother understand and accept it.
I told my Dad on Tuesday. He, however, accepted it really easily for he had no preconcieved ideas about it!

I was a little worried as to what she would think. I had no clue as to what her religion was and how strongly she believed in it. I opened up to her by saying that I was learning Wicca.
I was quite suprized when she told me that she has a LOT of books on the subject and tarot cards. She has a few friends that are Wiccan as well!! Phew!!! :)

I had just purchased "To Ride A Silver Broomstick" By Silver RavenWolf from Borders. I quickly 'dived' into it! Her offering small exercizes through out each chapter was really helpful and as I learned how much I really wanted to learn I couldn't help, but read some more......in Chemistry class. Well, one of my new friends (known since only last semester) asked me what I was reading. At first I just looked at her. I just showed her the cover quickly. Her eyes opened wide. I quickly thumbed to the page about the 13 Wiccan Priciples and just let her read it.
Her next words were, "This sounds really good!". She liked the beliefs and quickly became interested in it and would thumb through its chapters.
She quickly pointed out the area talking about nudity and practing Wicca. I explained it to her this way:
We have the choice to practice clothed or not. Just like there are groups of people who choose to live nude, rather than not. It isn't something that is manditory. She continues to ask me how I am doing in furthering my studies! :)
