~**WAXS OPINION ON WICCA**~

Blessings and be welcome on my page about my opinion on Wicca. Well, I bacame in contact with Wicca 3 years ago, when my cousin Lia moved to Holland. We met and almost immediately there was a band, a connection. I know it sounds strange, but it is true. We spent a weekend together and she told me about her being a Wicca. Well, I myself had always been interested in Witches and Witchcraft; ever since I was little I drew witches and Gothic women, which was not always appriciated. Anyhow, I was asked if I would consider the chance to become a Wicca aswell. Well, there wasn't a hair on my head who would've said no. I am convinced that you don't find Wicca, Wicca finds you. At the time, i didn't have many friends, I was very unconfident about myself and if I may say so, I was a bit depressed at the time. Wicca put my world upside down, it has given me confidence, personal happiness, and it has given me a belief to hold on to. You see, I think that everyone, young and old, poor or rich, black or white, should have faith, I also believe that when the time is there, you will be drawn to that certain path. My path has been Wicca. Though I have not only known happy times as a Wicca. you see, I'm a 15-year old, I'm still in school and there are a lot of people out there who won't understand. My explaination for this: people are afraid of what they can't understand or know. I think it's sad. We should all get the respect we deserve. Anycase, I did a lecture on Wicca, thinking people, including teacherd would understand it then. Well, at the beginning I was right, but shortly after that I was shown wrong, they started teaseing me worse then before, and I completely got shut off. I haven't told anyone after that anymore that I was a Wicca. Untill a few months ago. I met my (back then) future boyfriend. it worked out for us, an we were doing fine, but I hadn't told him yet I was a Wicca. I didn't know how he would react, I was to be honest a bit scared. Now that I've told him, I feel much better, ghehe... My aunt, Lia's mom knows it aswell, and she respects our values and norms. I haven't told my own parents yet, they ain't that open for this kind of thing, and I think I should tell them when the time is ripe. I know Wicca is for a big part based on honesty, but how can i be honest if I am not respected for what and who i am? ~WaxingMoon~ If you have any comments on this, let me know.
