Does Wicca??? Do you mean that you believe that Wicca is the right religion for you? Don't confuse Wicca with random acts of magick. As a Wiccan who practices magick, please don't confuse the two.
If you are interested in Wicca, you should pick up some books and look at some Wiccan websites. As for your parents, if you don't think they'd approve, don't tell them. Do they have to know every thought in your head? No. Since Wicca is more than magick, it's a philosophy, it's not something that you actively start. I urge you to look at the websites below and learn more about what Wicca really is.

My parents know I'm a Druid, and they don't like it at all. But it's where I belong, it's what I am proud to be. But anyways, that doesn't answer your question, now does it. Well, like I said, I'm a Druid, it follows a similar belief system as Wicca. I can help you to an extent, and fully willing to. I can even teach you a little about working with runestones, playing with the elements, and even working with the powers of nature itself. Feel free to message me through my profile here on Y!

Blessed Be, and Beannaithe Ag Draoithe!
And ignore the ignorant ones who will sit and just tell you your wrong or that your a satanist for being a follower of Wicca. It's not true. I aplaud you for being open with what you believe in.

You should talk to your grandmother, but I advise that you make up your own mind, about everything. Nobody says that you have to choose a ready made belief system. If there are things you are not happy with, discard them, but not without considering seriously why. Sometimes the things that "go against the grain" are the ones that it would do us a world of good to adopt, and at other times we are right to reject them, and it needs wisdom to know the difference, so you have to be patient.
I take it that your parents don't like the idea? You do not have to tell them, unless you want it out in the open and are prepared for conflict.

Why do you have to tell them? I don't know much about Wicca, but it seems pretty personal. If they ask, don't lie, but I wouldn't stress about telling them right away. Plus, if you really have to, you might be surprised, they might be really supportive, especially if your grandmother practiced it. Just focus on why its a positive influence in your life.
And don't listen to all the religious freaks on here, there is nothing wrong with practicing Wicca. Don't let them make you feel bad.

If you are truly enjoying what you are doing, and are proud of it, then you shouldn't have a problem talking to your parents about it. The key is that you are educated enough to have a real conversation about it and be able to dispel any negative ideas they would have about it. It will always be hurtful to parents when their children go against what they thought they reaised them to believe, but at the same time, if a parent truly loves his children, they will accept them for what makes them happy and provides a positive influence.

For what it is worth...
If you are living under your parents roof it is my belief that you should be fairly honest and opening with what you are doing. If you are looking for advise I'd suggest talking to your grandmother. She might help you to communicate with your parents in a clear and loving way.
I'm a Pagan and have been practicing for 20+ years. And ignore the folks who feel it is helpful to bash other religions.

Mav and Debbie have the best answers here. You should talk with your grandmother and ask her to help you tell your parents. Personally, I think you Should tell them... Honesty IS the best policy. And your parents will respect you more for being open about it, even if they disagree with you choice.

Spells are only a part of the ignorant. Wish love, peace, harmony, in whatever form you choose, And if anyone or anything wants you to change you will see the difference not any of these idiots who condemn something they don't understand, As long as you do good in this life? Who cares. All these want-to-be critics will probably hit below before you, just because they judge..............They're quoting something they aren't smart enough to write themselves. Be Happy to hell w/everyone else.

Stay open-minded. Maybe wicca is not the only spiritual philosophy you will end up believing in. You don't have to tell your parents yet, wait and see.

Why don't you and your grandmother sit down with your parents and tell them together. Your grandmother can be your support. It's best to tell them, and not let them find out on their own.
Honesty is always the best policy!
