My son is involved with a much younger girl who says she practices the religion Wiccan?

Question

He is 25 she is just 17. She is very over bearing. She has stated to another member of our family that when she has a child she will give the child up for adoption if it is a girl. Her son will be named Damein. I practice Christian religion and I want to know if Wiccans (Witches) has certain powers and can they cast spells? Im also worried about the age difference. Sence she just truned 17 is she of legal age of sexual consent? I am not trying to tear them apart I just want to know how to deal with these issues. Please no sarcastic comments. I need sound advice. Thank you.

Answer 1

I will try not to be sarcastic. I think your son's girlfriend is playing. She has watched too many recent movies and probably too many episodes of "Charmed". Damien being the name given to the son of Satan in the movie "The Omen". Don't take her too seriously. Maybe the relationship will fall apart or maybe she will grow up. The only advice I can give you is to be patient. You already know that anytime a parent tries to interfere it backfires! Yes, we cast spells (very similar to your prayers), but must consider our rede "Do as thou will and in it harm none" and the law of 3, that is whatever we do will come back 3 times over, good or bad. We no more have special powers than you do. If she is trying to convince you otherwise, well to me, that would be further proof she is playing. Just for fun ask her what denomination she is, there are many! Or maybe the names of her Goddess & God. Oops, sarcasm slpipping out! Sorry! Not aimed at you, aimed at her.

Answer 2

Wicca is primarily a Goddess based religion and it does not make any sense at all for a Wiccan to say they would give up a child due because of its gender. Naming a male child Damian would be just trying to goad and provoke Christians. Sounds like she has a lot of issues and is using Wicca as an excuse to be extreme. Most Wiccans I know don't act like that. Age of consent depends on the state - 17 can be legal but you would have to check. If it isn't all she would have to do is get mad at you son and he is in big trouble.

As far as spells and such, Wiccans do use spell work - they have a rede which states harm none do as ye will and believe anything sent out will return threefold so generally stay away from harmful spells. Maybe if she starts getting overbearing ask her about the Rede.

Answer 3

From the things you have mentioned, she sounds a little unbalanced.

I am Wiccan, and would never give my child up for adoption if she was a girl, nor would I call a boy Damien!!

We don't have magick powers, though we do sometimes cast spells. Our rede states that we harm none, and whatever we send out, comes back x 3.

Without trying to bash her for being a teenager, it does sound as though she is merely dabbling for shock value.

I'm not sure how it is in the US, but here in the UK, the age of consent is 16, so at 17 she is legal.

If she really does believe the things she is saying, I hope your son is smart enough to use protection, so she does not become pregnant.

It may not last, and all you can do is be there.

Answer 4

The Wiccan religion itself is nothing to worry about. The Wiccan Rede is a fairly strict moral code that all are to follow. Not all Witches are Wiccan but most Wiccans are Witches. They do cast spells and draw power from the Earth and the Elements (Earth, Water, Fire and Air) She sounds like she just has a lot of learning and living to do, as most 17 year olds do. From what I understand of consent laws (in my state, at least) until she is 18 her parents could choose to press charges for any sexual activity that might occur between the two of them. You sound as if you are handling this very well. If i were you, I would continue to counsel your son (as an adult, not a mother) on the possible hardships the relationship may face due to their differences and her maturity level and always be in prayer about this or any other important matter.

Answer 5

Some states hold the age of consent to be 18, but others are 17. Check your state's official website, or ask a question on AskJeeves.

It sounds like the girl is just a wee bit immature and is trying to be Wiccan simply because it's trendy. There is absolutely nothing in the Wiccan Rede (equal to the Ten Christian Commandments) that commands its followers to give up female children for adoption. That's a personal decision which, quite frankly, 17 year olds shouldn't be thinking of unless they are actually pregnant.

Answer 6

Well first off NO ONE HAS SPECIAL POWERS OR CAN CAST SPELLS-- NO ONE. The term witch may be a term the give themselves but no one has the powers that you think of when you think of a witch. I myself know nothing of Wicca but it sounds to me that she is going through the "black" or goth phase kids seem to go through now-a-days. She has no real powers but if it clashes with your religion it may lead to problems down the road. As to the age of consent no one can answer that because it varies from country to country and in the United States from state to state and we don't know where you live. Most of the states it is 17 or lower but not all. As for the age difference when i was 27 I started seeing my wife who was 19. The same age difference but of course there is a big difference between 17-19. So don't assume it can't work my wife and i have been together for almost 17 years. But remember NO ONE CAN CAST SPELLS so don't worry about that part of it.

Answer 7

Wiccans/Witches do not have any special powers. Special powers come from God and I don't think Wiccans respect God that much - they're more into other things.

In the state where I live, you son (if he is sexually active with this girl) could be arrested for statutory rape because anyone under 18 is still considered a child. All it takes is one phone call from a parent or friend, and the police show up to make an arrest.

Is your son emotionally strong or does her overbearing ways take him over? If she is demanding or intimidating or whiney and gets him to do whatever she wants, you may encourage him to get some counseling or he'll just be her puppet and end up very unhappy.

Good luck!

Answer 8

This girl does not sound like a Wiccan to me, in the same way that people who disturb the sanctity of soldiers' funerals and hold picket signs that say "God hates fags" don't sound like Christians. However, for the sake of simplicity, I shall refer to her as "Wiccan."

She may practice witchcraft, as many Wiccans do, but not all Wiccans are Witches (and not all Witches are Wiccans). Witches do cast spells, but they are under limitations. Read on:

Wiccans live by two rules: The Witches' Rede, and The Threefold Law.

The Witches' Rede states (in it's most simple form): "An' it harm none, do what ye will." Under this rule, you are allowed to do whatever it is you want to do, so long as it does not intentionally cause harm to yourself or any other living thing.

The Threefold Law pertains to an idea similar to Karma. Whatever you do, be it good or bad, negative or positive, will come back to you. Some people take it to literally mean that it will come back to you three times as strong, but not everyone interprets it this way. It is a law that demonstrates your power to shape your own destiny. If you want a good life, be good. If you would rather be a bad person, you will find yourself living an unsatisfactory life.

Like I mentioned before, this girl does not sound like she is true to these rules, and therefore not a true Wiccan. I would be wary of this girl.

As for the age difference, it depends on where you live. In most states of the USA the age of sexual consent is 18. There is a loophole, in that if you are under 18, your partner must be within 3 years of your age. However, this would not apply in this case. I would advise you to research the laws in your area, and URGE your son to wear a condom!

i'm a Pagan pantheist and an eclectic Witch. i think of between the biggest issues we are dealing with is that so so a super type of folk do no longer even renowned that there are actual Witches. They do look to renowned that Pagans are incredibly something. in addition they look to often renowned the legitimacy of pantheism, as quickly because it incredibly is been defined to them that we are no longer polytheists, and that we are in fact atheists with a super and deep reverence for the organic international. yet pass speaking approximately Witches and that's an entire 'nuther ball interest. Wiccans do look to get a definite modicum of acknowledgment as to being incredibly, while those people who're no longer Wiccan, who shop on with a distinctive direction and are not inevitably linked with a team, are appeared at each so often as though we are making all of it up. I stay contained in the very liberal SF Bay section, so i will say i'm a Witch, a Solitaire, and that i might say that prolly seventy 5% of those I come across the two do renowned what i'm as being a valid element to be, or they're additionally Witches of one style or different so there is not any situation. yet i replaced into in Michigan no longer some time past and advised people who asked that i replaced right into a Witch. Whoa, did i'm getting the delicately raised eyebrow medical care! wonderful question, as continuously! remarkable advantages, woman Morgana

Answer 10

your son's 25 time to let go me thinks , i'm a 25 yr old male and I have numerous friends who are Wiccan I also practise high magick myself (which is quite different from Wicca). Yes we all can cast spells , yes many of them work, however i seriouly doubt a 17 year old would be able to draw on the energies involved , little loan control them enough to influence a persons mind, your son is simply in love. In most places 16 is the legal age of consent , so your son is not doing anything illegal by sleeeping with her. I would say the overbearingness and the Daimen are just signs of this girls immaturity as neither of these factors would I associate with the Wiccans I know. You have nothing to fear just don't push your son away ,Why not use her practise against her if she carries on immature , go and consult someone who practises Wicca and ask them to make you a protection amulet these will re-direct any negative energies back towards the spell caster,
