Need advice on daughter's interest in Wicca..

[MaidenMercuryBlue]

I've been into the studdy of wicca scince I was 12, oh my goodness boy am I old! At first for me ot was just a phase, something I showed of to my friends, but then I met a women who was a true witch, when I told her i was wiccan and she began to ask me questions that I didn't know the answers to, I fealt like what you may call a poser. But I began to study it, and to really BELIEVE it, and its not dark and evil like people think it is, its the study of nature, and helping, casting spells and preforming rituals for things like healing a friend who is sick, or partAY-ING with the lost loved ones of the past one more time. It's the celebration of life, and not the worship of the oh so sacred death. It's the teachings and learnings of appreciating a breath of clean air (with the way our economy is t may not be around long so appreciate away! :p ) If anything at all yo should encourage your daughter in this study, it may lead to a future in the Peace Corps. also in wicca there are different types of beliefes, really if you poke at it a bit Wicca is more a philosophy (excuse my spelling please, I never learned to spell very well) then a religion, this is because there are different ways to practice it, in Wicca there is often seen a God a Goddess and A child, sometimes onle a God and Goddess, different combinations of things. If your family is as some people put it 'A traditional Catholic Family' or anything like that, she can incorperate that into the religion. My best friend Worships the lord as the God, Mary as the Goddess and Jesus as the child, and on his altar he has a statue of Jesus and Mary, and A candle for the lord. He feels exetremely close to them, and he didn't want to give them up when he converted. It's a choice, and besides if you don't want her to do it, she may end up practicing in secret anyways, but I'm only reasuring you, you have nothing to worry about. But just to let you know, from my description you should be able to tell Wicca is exetremely different from that TV show, although it is a very interesting one isn't it... I'd love to be able to teleport and Zap things and stuff, that'd be pretty cool... lol

Dear, you're 18.

Not that I have any greater authority or better directions on the path to enlightenment than you, or anything like that, but I've been involved with Wicca and other alternative religions for longer than you are old. So has at least one other person here.
