My Mom has something against me being on this Website. She mentioned it yesterday. She keeps on insisting that no person in their right mind should practice this stupidity. While she slightly hurt my feelings, she also added, "I want you to get off of that site." What am I going to do? I've been on here, sneaking around, on this whenever I have a chance. I have to delete my history, and stash my pendilums, Wiccan books, and herbs away in my closet. Of course, she could go in there, but still. I haven't the slightest idea what to do. Any suggestions would be great.
If you are younger, respect your mother's decisions. But it's also your right to practice what you wish to practice. I would want to talk to her and ask her why it makes her upset with the subject of magic, Wicca, ect..
One of my good friends a man I'm glad to call brother, had a similar problem, when he was younger. If you are spiritually inclined to look up spellcraft, then she has no right to say otherwise. She may be your mother but she does not control your mind. That said, she doesn't sound like the type to be reasonable. If you have to you could practice in secret, but I'd suggest confronting her head on. Tell her what you believe and that she should be respectful. Judge not less you be judged. If shes an actual Christian than she would respect a differing view.
Tell your mother freedom of religion, right for a opinion and if you cant accept that than atleast let me be,and let me ges she is christian, cause if so and if she feals strongly aboat har religion (if she is christian) tHan she might just be thinking that you will go to hell because the bible says so, or as I like to call it the big book of jokes (dont mean to offend anyones religion), if she knows and doesn't like it it will be much bater than if she dosent and finds aot, the best thing is to just say, this is what I want, this is what I balive in, this is what my religion (if you ate wican or other pagan), and that she has no right of forbidding it (literally check the law), its bater to tell someone a trought that will ba painful, than a lie that wont hold
While living in your mother's house, you should follow her rules. As unreasonable as you may think she is, she is your mother and only wants the best for you. If you are too youv to move out, I suggest you discuss the matter with her instead of sneaking around.

All of these "rights" I see as a response are certainly going to be yours when you are grown up and living independently on your own. When you pay for your own computer, pay for the internet, the electricity and your own housing then you can indeed search for anything your sprituality guides you to research on the internet. No one can tell you what to believe, or stop you from meditating or enjoying and becomming close to nature. You do not have to be on this website, or searching or practicing witchcraft to do these things. As much as its frustrating to hear when young, it is their house and you need to obey their rules. Use it as incentive to work and study hard so that you will have the resources to be independent when you reach legal adult age.
I'd at least try to sit her down and educate her on Wicca. Perhaps explain to her why your so passionate about it and mention that its not how its portrayed in the media. Failing that I'd do as others have suggested and respect your moms rules. You have to remember that shes only trying to protect you, although it may not seem like it. What would you rather do fall out with your mom or practice Wicca?
Maybe she is afraid of what she doesn't know? I would try to talk to her. But at the end, if you are a minor. Or an adult living in her home. She is in charge of what comes and goes into her house.
You need to talk to your mother about this. If this is what you would like to do, you must must must keep practicing. This is your life, you cannot let another run it for you. If you need additional support, feel free to mail me.
Do not sit down and educate her. Do not sneak around HER house. Do you have a job? Are you 18? Are you paying for everything on your own? I don't think so. You live under her house and you should be respecting her rules. Do not think about asking your Mother to respect your decisions when you won't even respect the rules she has set in HER OWN house. You do not have freedom of anything when you are a dependent. My advice would be to not follow anything anyone has said in this post. You live in her house, you obey her rules. Its simple as that. When you move out you can do what you want, but until then I suggest getting rid of anything she doesn't want you to have in the house. Respect your elders. If you want to be shown respect, than you show it first.
