I myself am out to almost everyone, bar my grandmother and my aunt and uncle. All my friends said was "see how it goes, take it slow and if it feels right do it" I think this is the best advice anyone has ever given me and much to my surprise my parents said the same. Which really shock me as I had been building myself up to tell them. But my friends have been used to me seeing spirits and talking about them, they even ask me to check over houses for them to see if there are any unhappy spirits there, and I’ve been doing this for years so I guess to them it was just the next step.

Since I work for myself I haven’t had to cover up or come out at my work place, which I would imagine is proberly harder than coming out to your family, but as I have no experience of this I can’t really comment. Though at my last job about a year ago I left, we were in one of those corporate team building meetings…lol…. And the conversation came round to religious beliefs and when ask I just said I was spiritual and not religious as at the time I didn’t know I was Witch, I just did stuff when it felt right, I later discover that I have been doing witchcraft of the type you find in Scott Cunningham’s books "Earth Power" and "Earth, Air, Fire and Water" but that I will explain my practices when I write my background and how I came to the Craft.

As for my background and how I came to the Craft I think that is proberly another thread. But if anyone is interested I will start one unless someone beats me to it. As its going to take a while for me to type it all out as I’ve never written it down before….lol

Brightest Blessings

OUTOUTOUTOUTOUTOUTOUTOUTOUTOUTOUTOUTOUTO

you know a long time someone hid a pixaxe in the broomcupboard its got the words '
how exactly does it harm you and do u rule my lfe?' scribed into the side of it

the whole idea is do what you will as long as u aint running round hacking people up for spare parts so noone should have a problem with it

i have my ma n pa askin me to do spells with them and my gran getting me to read her mind at parties as a trick.....mind my gran kicks ass


im out to everyone i know and some people i dont know

if u tell someone and they dont have a problem with it its cool
if they have a problem then they r stupid
if they fall out with u then fuck em its their loss and they cant have been that good a friend

Hey Monkey...well that's an easy attitude to have when you're a kid, and one that i shared at university, where i am 'out'.
However, i'm about to go back into the broom closet now, the world of work isn't ready for witches and wiccans. I'm currently working as a student teacher in a Church of England school (not by choice) and would probably fail my degree if they found out i was pagan.
So, it's easy to say "if they've got a problem with it, then they're stupid, so fuck 'em" when it's concerning so called friends, but when your work relies on getting on with people who are narrow minded then...softly, softly, is the way to go.
