Can I do Wicca?

Question

I am interested in the Wicca religion and I have been studying for about 3 years now. I have already done my dedication but my mom doesn't know. She and my dad are Christian and do not like my interest. What shall I do?

Answer 1

Like most underage Wiccans, you must find ways to practice in secret until you move out of your parents house. Keep your books at school or cover them with different book covers. Keep your pagan jewelry under lock and key and don't let them see you wear it.

If you fear that they might hurt you, you might start a plan to move out as soon as you turn 18.

Answer 2

Ofcourse, you "can" do Wicca --- but why would you want to, when you know it's against God's will?

Wicca is idolatry. (It's an act of worshipping other 'gods', and over-emphasis on Nature ~ which in reality is Satan's disguised way of enticing people to committ idolatry...) Remember, anything that comes before "God" (the REAL one!) in your life is an idol.

There's a good reason why your parents are concerned over your interests in pagan religion...because pagans follow the "broad" road that the Bible warns about.

"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it." Matthew 7:13

(Paganism is popular - but it's not sound doctrine/teaching.)


Idolatry Forbidden
15 You saw no form of any kind the day the LORD spoke to you at Horeb out of the fire. Therefore watch yourselves very carefully, 16 so that you do not become corrupt and make for yourselves an idol, an image of any shape, whether formed like a man or a woman, 17 or like any animal on earth or any bird that flies in the air, 18 or like any creature that moves along the ground or any fish in the waters below. 19 And when you look up to the sky and see the sun, the moon and the stars—all the heavenly array—do not be enticed into bowing down to them and worshiping things the LORD your God has apportioned to all the nations under heaven. Deut. 4: 15 - 19 (NIV)


Ofcourse, the decision is always up to oneself who they are going to serve...

God or Satan/Self/Idols...(notice the last three all fit the category of 'evil' - irreguardless of what they call themselves.)

Answer 3

Hun, a dog could do Wicca!

And if you do it in secrecy it's even better because at least you're not a Silver Ravanclaw, which means that your goal is not simply to break stereotypes even if it means to kill the Craft in every way.

If you're parents are not ok with it, don't tell them, and go to church on Sunday and see how a lightening DOESN'T strike you.

All these people are telling you that it's against God, but it was people who made this up and wrote the Bible. If you study a little archeology and everything, you'll see that witchcraft began as just a tale and a misnomer created by the Christian church to make people abandon Druidism.

The same lie that is Witchcraft is Christianity, so you're not making that big a switch. Life's too short to worry, just live it. Geez!


P.S.- I meant Silver RavenWOLF, not Ravenclaw. Sorry, she's just to creepy that it messes with my mind. It's like interference.

Answer 4

Explain to them your religion, but be mature about it. Its the best way to get them to take you seriously.

Thats what I did when I told my family about my choice to become a Pagan almost 8 years ago, although I am not a Pagan any longer.I opened my heart to Jesus this past year.

As a pagan, I learnt to accept all people, and all religions...including Christianity. I even continued to research other religions while I was a pagan. I even went to church with friends to support their paths. (Even though at the time I horribly disagreed with them.) I still apreciated the fact that people were worshipping God, any God. I beleived that all Gods were somewhat connected to the creator, and any worship that was genuine was great.

Some Christians may be judgemental towards you, but when you choose a wiccan/pagan path you will find that even non-christians will judge you negitively because they don't understand your choice. Keep your mind open, and your heart open. I'm not going to tell you that your on the wrong path, because you can only figure that out for yourself.

Just be mature and openminded when you tell your parents. Don't make it sound like your doing it to rebel. Parents will always accuse you of that when your a teenager, or they will assume that. Dont let your conversation become a screaming match! If you ignore them when they are talking to you, they will probably do the same to you.
Tell them. "Listen to what I have to say, and then I will listen to what you have to say".

Answer 5

Have you tried talking to your parents about it yet? It's possible they're more open-minded than you think. There are more similarities between the two faiths than they might realize. I know I went through the same thing with my parents. They never did come to an understanding about my beliefs, but eventually they did choose to let me make up my own mind without criticism.

My suggestion is to keep learning. Not just about Wicca, but Christianity and different faiths as well. You can communicate better with others if you understand where they're coming from.

Answer 6

You need to educate your parents on what Wicca really is.. Explain to them, and to all the idiots on here that it has nothing to do with satanism or devil worship or anything of the sort. Mankind worshiped nature long before there was even a concept of Christianity or any other organized religion. Most peoples problems with Wicca stem from pure ignorance. They don't know what it is so they are afraid of it. They don't realize that it is not "witchcraft" or "black magic". Education is the key to ignorance!

Answer 7

First off, Wicca is not playing with Satan. Second, it depends on how old you are and how open minded your parents are as to whether it will bother them. The wicca religion can be practiced in a quiet way as not to draw attention to yourself. Hang in there. One day you will be old enough to make your own decisions.

Answer 8

don't tell them if it'll just hurt them
(it's not like you're gay or something and really should talk to them about it...)
if you're into Wicca do a cleansing spell,
witch craft can be very scary especially for "people of faith"
I studied for a few years and preformed a few spells, but I'd use MY own version, and ask God to help make it happen. They always worked... just follow your heart.
Do you want me to give you a quick Tarot reading???
ok, hold on...
--in the past positions, you have a very strong man in your life,
he wants to develop his vocation..., and take on greater challenges He is very important to you..
--in your present positions, you feel that others are limiting you, that your hands are tied BUT you are emotionally fulfilled and you are ready for what lies ahead.
--in your future positions,well a new relationship is starting
that's if you continue.. and He who is important to you (mentioned above) is sensitive to your needs, but He needs you to give more of yourself to him...
is this God or a boyfriend??
he is extremely vital to you
hope that helps

Answer 9

If you are still living at home,you should honor your parents wishes.When you get out on your own,your belief's are your own business.You should give some thought to the Wiccan Rede,"An' it harm none,do what Ye will.".If you disobey your parents,it is harmful to your household peace.Don't expect to educate them.
I am concerned with the phrasing of your question."Do" Wicca?
I think the term should be Practice.

Answer 10

Tell them that christianity, wicca, & other religions are all the same thing. They're all made up and shouldn't be taken seriously.

Answer 11

You can practice as a solitary witch, or find a good local coven. (check local new age book stores or for Wicca 101 classes) Perhaps there is a Unitarian/universalist church in your area where you can meet some cool UUs.
