s a teen, I know that one of the hardest things to do is to tell mom and dad that you're a wiccan. It was hard for me and it probably doesn't get any easier for any of you. Well, maybe because my mom used to be a Sunday-School teacher. Anyway, this is a good time to tell you exactly what, and what not to do when trying to tell your parents that you are a witch.
irst of all, you need to gather materials together to prove any of the points that your parents don't believe you by. Such as, "we don't believe in the devil dad." If he doesn't believe you, just pull out a book and prove it. It is also good to have already memorized the "Wiccan Rede." Ok, now that you have your things together, you need to gather your mom and dad for a little meeting (unless your parents are divorced like mine). You first need to find their views on the subject. Then, you need to tell them that you are a wiccan. After that, you should open your book to the rules of Wicca in order to point out that this is in no way a religion of evil or the "devil." Then, you should tell your parents a little about the theology of Wicca. But, from experience, the far best thing to do is to let your parents have the book and let them learn for themselves. For example, my dad rarely believes me when I try new things, such as wicca. For him, I just had to let him read some of my books. Then, the same things that I said, in writing, proved to him that it was a kind, peace-loving religion that he agreed with. But in NO time during the conversation should you start arguing. If your parents try to argue with you, you should show them in the book. If you do these steps carefully, then I assure you that you won't be approached by a priest in the night to sprinkle holy water on you. :o) If you have any questions, just e-mail me. Blessed Be!
