How do i tell my parents that i am a wiccan?

My parents are catholic and not very understanding. My mother refers to wicca as dark withy stuff I need to tell them so that I can practice freely. Please I want them to know today but I am so scared. I know that they will still love me but I am a...

very sensitive person and I don't want them to be angry with me how should I tell them? (I have asked this before but didn't get very good answers) please don't say things like wicca is fake of turn away from the darkness or your not a real wiccan. Thank you for all helpful advice.

YOu just need to sit dow with them, be totally serious and tell how much this means to ou and if they dont respect that then they dont respect you as the individual you are!
And I'm just really curious, can you tell me what wicca is? I'm not judging or trying to find reason for disliking it I just really want to know what its about

I went through a period of time where I did Wicca, but I grew out of it...and as you get older, your beliefs might change as well from what they are now.

Keep in mind that your parents chose a religion after years of soul searching. They have instilled those values in you, and telling them that you have chosen a different religion should come after you are fully committed to the practice. So make sure this is 100% how you will feel the rest of your life before turning your back on what your parents have taught you...I'd wait a few YEARS to make this decision.

There are roads in life we follow down - your choice - my opinion, that's a negative, dangerous road.

As they are your parents, they should understand you and how you feel and the fact that you want to make your own decisions.
Have you previoulsy been a catholic?
Most people follow the religion of their family and the religion they have grown up around, and your parents probably expected you to do the same. So it will probably be quite shocking to them to hear that you have decided to become a Wicca. I am a catholic, and so is my family, but I completely understand why someone would turn away from the catholic faith.
Sit your parents down together and tell them you have something important to say that has been on your mind for a while.
Explain something like 'I need you to listen to this, and to support me, and I know it's going to be hard for you. But I have decided ot become a Wicca, and I wish to practice freely. Please don't get angry with me, as I've thought about it for a while and I feel that it's the right decision for me'
I hope that helps and that it goes ok!

My advice is not to tell them. It's easier to learn how to keep secrets than it is to deal with the certain irrational response you will receive.

I haven't won't... So if anyone has any advice for ME TOO I'd be VERY greatful!

xgabriellax gave some great advice. I'd advise you to do something like that too.

amblessed- seriously I have read a lot of the How do I tell My Parents questions and answers and Honestly do you have nothing better to do than criticize Wicca beliefs? Don't do it seriously if you are so opposed to it why do you answer these questions.

Mexxy- I have not told my parents either and I have been looking into it for about 4 months. Nothing (Religion wise) feels right to me other than Wicca so I won't tell My parents (because they would have a fit if I told them) but I promised myself that I would at least start leaving hints when I am 16. My advice to you is to leave hints until they catch on then calmly explain to them that I am now Wiccan and there is really nothing you can do about it because it is my choose and I believe it is the best path/way for ME.

Explore the truths of the Bible and the true and living God. Wicca is a deception and doorway to demonic bondage. Ask yourself this question: If God isn't real as He said in His word - the Bible- then why can't wiccans put spells on born again/Bible believing Christians without fear of the spell coming back on them 7 fold? You are really serving the wrong master. Come over to the winning team and give your heart to Jesus! He will set you free!

did you not read the please don't say anything about my faith part of the question? wow... and I bet you hate jews to? how about black people? seriously if I wanted this response I would have asked for it.

How come when those with alternative beliefs such as wicca are confronted with the truth they scream bigot/hater/etc? Please consider the response given to you without thinking prejudice or hater. I hate no one, and I know wicca like satanism/left hand paths/other occult beliefs only bind people to the unfruitful worker/workers of darkness. The power those in the occult experience is nothing compared to the absolute power of the true and living God as revealed in His word - the Bible!

God is love and satan came to deceive/steal/kill and destroy.

Why would anyone want to be on the side of darkness where fear/deception/confusion/false powers/rebellion/selfishness/immorality/etc become your cruel masters?

God showed His ultimate love for you when He sent His only Son (Jesus) to live the perfect life we could never live; then to die in our place and rise again after death thereby proving Himself to be fully God and fully man. Therefore He alone is able to forgive us of all our sins and by trusting in Jesus we can enter into a God-centered eternity when we leave this life. Please don't be mad at me for I am just a messenger. You should be made at the devil and his demons for deceiving you!

Please find a local Bible believing church and go to their midweek or Sunday service. Give your heart to Jesus while you still have time! You will recall these very words in the future, so please consider very carefully what was said!

okay so first of all infoholic it has nothing do with satanism you are obviously you are misinformed about the whole religion. consider researching topics before you tell people about them. here are a few things about Wiccans:
they believe in equality between genders
they have no messiah (did you know that jesus once cursed a fig tree because it had no fruit?)
we do not have 7 fold we have three fold and thats the same thing as karma
its not that we are afraid of putting spells on born again/Bible believing Christians we can put a spell on anyone we want but the rule that we have(much like the ten commandments but in one sentence) is: an it harm none, do as ye will- we cannot place any spells on anyone unless they are for good purposes and will help to improve lives. another thing is that I believe that we are not casting spells but rather pushing energies around the world to improve situations. do not tell me to give you heart to jesus because I do not believe that he existed.

with all do respect,

Mexxy,

You said, another thing is that I believe that we are not casting spells but rather pushing energies around the world to improve situations. That's like saying you can push electricity around the world to do your bidding. How can energies be pushed/summoned/cast/called upon/etc if they are just impersonal energies? Define it as you want, but in order for energies to be called upon they have to have intellect to receive your call. Therefore such energies are not just unintelligible energies...they have personality and can cause events to occur! So in reality, they aren't just energies, they're really entities! These entities are ancient non-corporal being who are masters of deception. They are demons if you choose to accept that or not. I know you feel the power in your rituals, well that's the demonic power that you call energies.
When candles light automatically do you think energies do that? No way, demons are behind it all!

White witches (like you) say all they do are good spells. Black witches/satanists/magick say they do good and bad in their spells. But all are deceived by the Devil/Satan/demons who can appear either good or evil to whomever they seek to trick/deceive.

Even some satanists say there's no literal Satan, although other satanists do believe in a literal Satan. Satan himself doesn't care either way. Satan's agenda is to get us humans to deny the true God of the Bible and to choose any other path we want. All paths don't lead to the truth. Wide is the path that leads to destruction.

Biblical scholars believe that since the fig tree had leaves on it (Matthew 21:19), from a distance it gave the appearance of being fruitful. But upon closer examination it became clear that there was no fruit on it at all. So perhaps Jesus' cursing of the fig tree was an acted-out parable that taught the disciples that God will judge those who give an outer appearance of fruitfulness but in fact are not fruitful at all (like the Pharisees). The Pharisees were the religious rulers of the time who put on an act like they were holy when in fact they were empty and false. They did not love the true living God. They were trying to be religious by acting righteous. This continues to this day in some circles.

Jesus Christ exists just as George Washington existed. Jesus has more historical evidence than any other figure in history. Jesus is God come in the flesh to save the world from our sins He's alive forevermore!

Your disbelief does not make Jesus non-existent!

I challenge you to question wicca and compare it to the Bible. Satan will do all he can to keep you away from the divine intergrated message system called the Bible for in it are the very words of life and truth! Your eternal destiny hangs in the balance...choose wisely!

you think that I would change my religion from catholicism to wicca without comparing them first? I already have and in my opinion the whole bible is BS! you said when candles light automatically who said they could light automatically? that's impossible! satan demons and anything like that is completely and utterly fake! yes I do believe that there are energies all over the universe (deal with it) but I do not remember saying that they had no personality. addressing the fig tree: so you are now saying that god will judge people? what about giving people another chance or forgiving all sins after all don't you christians believe that jesus loves us all?

all respect gone,
-mexxy

infoholic - keep your thoughts to yourself. mexxy didn't ask to be discriminated against, so don't do it. I'm a proud Pagan and have also researched Wicca and none of what you're saying matches up, infohoilc.

I respect your choices, mexxy, and offer you my support when talking to your parents.

You both are rebellious to God and you will reap what you've sown. Your research was likely biased and not balanced. Why worship the creation when you can worship God the creator?

***Your research was likely biased and not balanced.***

...quoteth the pot...

infoholic- I don't believe he exists- that's why!

thanks wolffaery much appreciated.

My research was not biased. I researched Wicca from all viewpoints and I decided that it isn't what the majority seem to believe. It is my opinion. You, however, are free to think that we are corrupted by the devil or whatever. That is your opinion. Just keep it to yourself.
We let you believe what you choose, and so you should do the same for us.

(to mexxy) It's ok. Anytime.
