Magic Forums

Hi,

Just to get this part out of the way, I'm a newbie. So hi, everyone on here! I've been into the practicing of magic for a while, but only recently have I begun to search around and actually do some research (not quite the right word, but I can't think of a better one!) into actually doing it.
The point is, I'm new, uncertain and slightly out of my depth in this new world.

Talking of uncertain, let's get back to the original reason I started this thread. My family is rather skeptical of Magic and everything that surrounds it. I respect that-everyone has a right to their own beliefs-but what I'm talking about here is the fact that my family won't let me practice spells, read about them and definitely not get ingredients for them!
My point being, is anyone on this website facing the same problem or have any tips for dealing with this? I really believe that I could become a part of this but I am restricted by my family and, much as I wish to participate in this amazing art, I don't want to offend my family either. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I could do?

Thank you,
JB
