Default I practice Wicca and my dad does not know?

I have been practicing Wicca for a couple of months and my mom and brother know, they are both atheist, my dad is very religious christian, him and my mom get in fights all the time about religion and I am scared to tell him that I am Wiccan. He is making me get confirmed in April, but I do not want to be I just dint want to have to hide my religion. Should I tell him, and how

It's better to get confirmed. It helps out with getting married believe it or not...

The Christians don't have a real good track record with your kind. Tell the pastor or priest, that will end the conformation nonsense.

If you are in the house with them keep it secret, but if on your own tell them. Blessed Be.

If he can live with an atheist wife and son, he can live with a Wiccan daughter. Don't get confirmed if you don't want to. I'm sure your mother will support you in this. You can have other interests in common with your dad, and you can love him without being part of his religion.

Hey, Its one hell of a lot better than doing drugs! Is Wicca a positive influence on your life? If so, you should have their blessings.

Just tell him no. He doesn't need to know you're Wiccan.

What exactly is practicing Wicca? what do they believe in? any way, just tell your self.."what makes me practice Wicca? and should I let it get in the way of my life?" ask your self! If your afraid to tell your father than maybe you shouldn't take it so seriously and put it off for a while..just think about it..

Be proud of your faith, just tell your dad with reasons why you pick Wicca.

I think you should tell him sooner or later. you should tell him before April. Tell him in a kind way and remember that he is your father. My advice for you is that you think of returning to Christianity. Make a "study" on Christianity and Wicca. Go deep inside yourself (mind & heart) to know which religion can save you. If you honestly seek the truth, you will surely find it. Trust me

First off, if you're comfortable about how your mom and your brother feel about it then you will be OK. And who says you HAVE to tell him? I waited til I turned 18. You can practice Wicca and be in the broom closet if you like. Not to mention there are ways to practice with out being obvious. How do you think the witches in the burning times kept from going to the stake? They used household items. Look up Modern Paganism books. Good luck and Blessed Be. Also, if you get the opportunity go into the Pagan chat in yahoo. It's always a great time to network and meet others that practice.

I've been where you are and ultimately if you chose to say or not. But if the old man is one to disown you because of it. I would strongly suggest just studying it for now so you can find the right information and words to explain why you like it.

If your father loves you, as I would think he does, he won't hit the roof over it. Just tell him, and he, though likely disappointed, should support you in your decision. (Granted, there have been exceptions, but I doubt they are the rule, and hopefully he is no exception, either.)

No. It could make your life VERY difficult.

Besides, being confirmed, brings you closer to Deity. Think of it as a preliminary Inititation. When they say lord or God, you can Add "And Lady, or and Goddess."

If you look at Church as bringing you closer to the Gods you worship, they understand, and why make your life any harder than it already is?

I'm sure your mom will back you up, no matter what you decide!

If you get stumped, but a copy of "When someone you love is Wiccan" by Carl MacColeman and give it to your mom to read before you talk to your dad. if you do.

He's been known to help out fools like you in the same situation your in. He could be just what your loo kn for. Hey! I got an idea! Satan can confirm you. Yeeaah that's right! Satan can do it. With Satan be in the Father of all lies n everything, you might as well let him do it, and no one would be the wiser. That way, you don't have to say no thin to nobody bout no thin. Then you can go right on living the life you choose, just like the way you want to. Smooooooth sail'n. What do ya think about that sweet cheeks?

Satanist!!

Haha. Just kidding.

Tell him, he'll find out anyway by digging through your things. He'll throw a huge fit, scream and yell, and then hopefully, get over it.

Good luck.

I suppose it all depends on how old you are. If you are an adult, or almost and as ult, there isn't much he can do about it. Like someone has already said, if he can live with an atheist, he can live with a Wiccan.

Also, tell him you don't want to be confirmed as you are not a Christian and never will be. You don't have to tell him you are Wiccan in that instance.

Tell your father that you don't want to be confirmed, don't tell him that you're Wiccan unless you absolutely have to!
