well 1st let your mom know its not a form of evil it can be good and its not spiralIlas a practice and let her know your going to do it if she likes it or not.. stick up for what you belive in..:}good luck hun
dint tell she will Polly like kick u out or something or like put u in a mental home or something like that. if it was me i would keep it to myself get a lock on my door one that locks with a key and lock your door when you aren't in your room if you have witch craft crap in there just lie in about. keep it out of her sight!!!
Think about what it was about witchcraft that attracted you to it, and what was most real to you about the purpose of what you're doing. Perhaps in that way, when you've inspected your own thoughts, you can use what you've seen to explain what you're doing, and why.
Hope this helps you with you and your mum
who cares what she thinks? Wicca isn't something to covet ...Lil...just tell her...if she's a calm type, she'll know you'll out grow it..if she's the freak in freak out type, forget telling her...just practice your craft...since, it's really a pagan religion anyway...no big deal.
If she is a religious person, she might be upset. It's your own belief and you don't really have to tell her. But if you feel that you should, I don't think she will care too much.
She might just think its a phase. Just tell her you are exploring your own spiritual beliefs.
well if you think she might have a bad reaction you should plan out what to do. maybe you should be subtle about it at first. maybe you shouldn't be doing this kind of thing in the first place?
Depends on your definition of "witchcraft" and your own motives. Besides, if you're that dependent on your Mom's reaction, then you're too young to be messing with stuff you don't really know the seriousness of.
Let your mom alone, I mean she has raised you and if you think it will disappoint her, dint tell her. She is not your lover you dint have to tell her everything. If your after advice, go to http://witchescauldron.com
I am a mom and I would want to know.
My son got in to Wicca. @ 16 and he told me that he was into it.
I blue my top at first but I checked out and was OK with it.
So just tell her then explain what your in to.
Maybe you could just let her figure it out for herself? Drop subtle hints. Giving her the chance to figure it out on her own will keep her from "freaking" out because she will slowly and gradually except it before she actually asks you about it. When she asks you about don't make it into a big deal and hopefully she wont either!
Does she really need to know? I think she'd treat you completely different if she knew. Maybe even make you go to some sort of counseling or something? If you're going to tell her just tell her, don't make it complicated or anything.
Are you kidding me? Seriously, is this what you are really doing?? Isnt there more interesting meaningful things to do?? First of all you dint tell your mother, cause what you are going through is a false. I did the whole witch craft crap when I was a teenager with my sister. I told my mother and she beat the shit out of me. Besides do you really want Satan really knocking at your door? Save all that hocks pocks for Hollywood.
Okay, for starters ignore all the judgmental and rude answers your question may bring, and focus on those of us who really want to help. I'm hearing that you have a serious problem -- a lifestyle choice that might be unpopular with your parents. This is a problem faced each day by millions of Americans who make choices that are different than those who raised us would choose. The real secret to a successful revelation of this is respect. Respect your mom, be aware that she'll probably say things out of surprise (that she'll likely not mean and may regret later), and that she will consider this choice to be changeable. Tell her straight-up with a respectful tone, and then let her vent. ("Mom, I have something to tell you that you may not like, but I respect you enough that I don't want to keep secrets...") Plan your talk for a time when you can't sit and discuss it forever, and when you'll be able to tell her, then let her have some time apart to digest it. Your mom is your mom and she loves you. This may be hard but you can work through it together. It may be helpful to take a neutral person that you both respect along for the ride -- to make you both "behave" and to keep it from digressing into something ugly.
Blessings to you,

If you continue with this - it will cause a lot of trouble for you. You should rethink the whole thing and find something else to occupy your mind - like taking care of a dog or cat, studying nature, classical music, the Legitimate Theater,
Gardening, Egyptology etc.
I was into witchcraft when I was a teenager, and I was hardcore into it, like conjuring up spirits and putting spells on people (that I know worked). And I was very serious about it being my main religion. I told my mom, but I hated her I didn't care if I upset her. Even if you're that serious, don't worry about telling her, by the time it's a problem, you'll have grown out of it.
