Not to be too terribly critical, but you're a self-described "...witch, who believes in God(tm), and is a literalist creationist..."

I'm not seeing where you're qualified to point anyone in a sensible direction regarding a consistent path to enlightenment.

She doesn't drive, so no car or bumperstickers.

My path is consistant, it just took some time and lots of years of study to figure it out. My being his parent makes me qualified. In fact, it makes me uniquely qualified. See, I have done my homework and lots of research and followed several different paths, so unlike some, I have a better understanding of different belief systems.

I think I have well thought out and sound reasons for my beliefs, and there are many many other "Christian Wiccans" out there. It's not like I just made this shit up like Joseph Smith or something....

Joseph Smith was just a lot more obvious about it.

So she found out I used to be a High Priestess of a coven and wants me to teach her and her friends "how it all works" because all they know is "stuff they learned from books and the internet".

*sigh*

At least she was credulous enough to know that there is more out there to learn.

And at least she is sensible enough to seek out a mentor with some experience. This is not a bad thing, even if you don't precisely believe the same things as you did when you did HPS duty.
