Okay, here I go:

I have been studying ABOUT Wicca for almost a year. I'm very serious about becoming Wiccan, and have been very serious of how I talk about it too. I was baptized Lutheran around the day of my birth, having been born with heart defects (that were later corrected), and my mother and grandmother (no father) wanted to 'save' my soul, so that I would go to heaven blah blah blah. I have never felt any connection or belief in God, and my parents/family are now becoming 'SUPER-LUTHERANS!'. I have tried to tell them my beliefs, but they don't care, and are forcing me to BE a Lutheran, though I don't want to be.

How do I go about becoming one, secretly, or do I give it up, though it feels so positively, undeniably, spiritually, mentally, even PHISICALLY right, and forget I even cared about my self for even a moment?

Sir Xian Luparn, I ain't been studying Wicca half as long as you, and have no experience with Lutherans, but I can assure you something- your parents can not force you to be Lutheran. Were not the pagans who attended church by day and worshipped the Goddess by night to avoid being killed for their beliefs still pagan? Weren- eh heh, sorry, going on a tangent. I don't mean to sound preachy, really!

You may have to practice late at night and while your parents are away somewhere, but I say you should go for it and perform a self-initiation (or hell, maybe some of the Wiccans here could do a sort of digital initiation for you- hey, your parents wouldn't have to know that way!), and er... Scott Cunningham explains this much better... -_-;; *sigh*

Yeah, so, anyway, if you want to be Wiccan, you should go for it. 3nodding

To be wiccan you don't even need to be initiated into it, if you study and live by wicca as others do of there own faith then you are wiccan. If you want to initiate yourself there is a nice initiation in Scott Cunningham's Wicca for the Solitary Practitioner book. That's they only one I've read an initiation in. If you want to join a coven they will initiate you. Just so you know, if you don't already, if your not initiated by a coven some people will not consider you a true wiccan. I think it's more of a state of mind, do as you like. Good luck. biggrin

Well, I have no regrets about practicing in secret...but it just isn't right to feel that I'm tied to two faiths, one by choice, and the other stuffed down my f*ing throat. I hate my family. They all are the most worldly ignorant people...but that just makes me sound like I'm joining through spite. Maybe I'll start meditating more often...I think I'll see if I can find a spirit guide.

I understand, and I do not like the thought of being forced to be catholic anymore. I am sure what ever you choose to do will work for you. I hope you succeed in finding your spirit guide, they might be more helpful then we can be.

I am sorry to say this Hun, but you have to follow the religion your mom wants you to till you are 18. You do not have to believe in it, but you have to go to church if she says so and say a prayer at dinner if she says so. I have a friend that goes to a Quaker church and before each meal they say a blessing that I like very much because it incorporates all the religions, it is amazing. Sorry I digress. But anyways, you do not have to be initiated to be Wiccan, that is something of the heart. It deep down you think to yourself, "I am Wiccan, I feel that I will always be Wiccan, and that is what I know I want and I feel at peace with this teaching" then you are already Wiccan. I don't like the whole you have to be imitated crap. I believe that if you feel you are Wiccan and you have studied and you can ask your self, why do I want to be Wiccan and come up with a good answer, then you are Wiccan in my book. If you feel you would really like to do an initiation you can write your own, or if you can get your hands on a book you can do one some one else wrote. I was born in to a Wiccan family so my initiation was more like a dedication to the lady and lord and was more like giving my self over to perusing the knowledge, wisdom, and peace that Wicca has to offer. I would say if you want to feel initiated in to Wicca, sit down and pray to the Lady and Lord and tell them what it is that you want to do and feel there power, then in your heart you will feel if you are really Wiccan and that you are willing to devote your life to following its teachings.

Well, I have a tiny correction to make. My Mom doesn't care, but makes me go to Church anyway, but my step-father was a goody-goody Catholic church boy who never did ANYTHING wrong (f*ing liar...), and now he's a biased, fat-a** a**-hole who makes me do everythingt he wants, and expects me to do it with a smile. Every night: You say the prayer, Conor...Every Sunday: You take out the trash, Conor...Whenever I want to stay up late: Go to bed Conor, you have to go with to my Dad's house tomorow; Moi: I dont want to; Him: You'll do it because we are a family blah blah blah; Moi: *sigh*; Him: Don't you dare sigh at me! Go to bed NOW!!!

In other words, he sucks, and I will not be a Lutheran, and I will be a Wiccan, despite all that they have done to stop me. I don't care if it's a law. That's not right, and they know it...

(By the way, if your looking for a book that would be fun, as a Wiccan, to burn, seek out 'Dewitching'...THEN DESTROY!!!)

Ivy wasn't syaing that you had to believe in it just that until you are 18 you have to follow those rules. I always believed what she said but I like the way Ivy put it. :3

I'd love to have parents that care. My parents care enough to provide food for me and my 2 brothers, and my sister sometimes. They are being nice enough to pay for my wedding (the entire thing, Yay!) But other than that... they don't give a rat's behind. I'm a vegitarian. My mom buys 3 or 4 things for me, and then buys the rest of the food in the house for them and their special diet... and then ALL OF THE REST OF THE FOOD... goes to my 2 brothers, my sister, and even my fiance. But since I have a high mantince diet(not like they don't)... I don't get as much food. I'm thankful that they care as much as they do. Now my father and step mom on the other hand, are hippies. My father used to take me down to visit him ( the few times he remembered I existed) and would leave me home alone all day with my brothers and sisters there(which is legal in AR, where he lives) And then him and my step mom would come home, get high, and go hang with friends. At the age of 7 I was cooking for 4 kids during the summers I would stay there. He did this so he would think he was actually paying attention to me. Do you know what it is like to raise 2 babies, a 5 year old, and only have assitance from your oldest sister who is still a year younger than you? Then my father started ingnoring me again... and now he wants to be my friend. Yea right. Anyways... I would love to have parents who care. Atleast my mom and step dad care enough to feed me. And they do everything for my two brothers... and all they do is complain about how nothing is good enough. I'm happy with getting new clothes once a year. Of course, I am about to be 18 years old, it the large state of TX, besides drinking, smoking, voting, and going to war... the ages 17 and 18 are virtually the same. But I guess around my age it's expected to be this way, but its been like this since my mom got re-married. Oh well... It makes me a stronger person.

sorry this is so long, thought I'd add my little story... for those of you who have crappy parents also to help you feel not so alone.

By the way, does anyone have any herbal remidies for say burns, specifically to the face? Because being the idiot I am... I have a really crappy hair cut(short in back long in front, I really hate it) but anyways, I was stupid and fixing my hair at 4am(30 min ago) and I'm totally exhausted, so the curling iron slips off of my hair... and burns me.. pretty bad(because I have one of those high heat irons)... right on the left side of my lip. Gah. So does anyone have any ideas as to help it heal ok, and maybe ease the pain?

A lot of the ones I have involve burying or burning things. One that you might beable to use is cinnamon. If you burn it, say in a dish, it should help the healing process.

Get an aloe plant and cut off one of the stock branch type thingies and put that on the burn, you can also get a bottle of that stuff for sunburns. I prefer to use it fresh from the plant. It is really good for the skin and it starts the healing from the inside out, which is essential for burns.

I understand completely about that. I was a veggie eater for two years. My dad yelled at me for not eating meat, I was laughed at by my friends and family for choosing that life style, my mom did try and help me (she used to be a veggie eater) and she bought me a bag of soy beans... that was about it. I basically lived on peanut butter and rice and beans to make complete protiens. I am not a veggie eater anymore due to the problem I have with getting the right kinds of food. Next year when I go to college, I am going to an environmental school. I just visited there and their dinning halls have all the stuff a veggie eater needs to supplement there diet to be healthy. So I am once again going to revert back to my veggie eater self. (Oh on a side note, my dad hates my college, but my mom loves it so to spite him, she is going to do what ever it takes to pay for it. Yay!)

I would revert back for untill I move out, but I'm leaving in August.... and I've been veggie so long I would get super sick... I accidentally ate a hot dog weenie the other day b/c I made macaroni with them in it for my boyfriend... and I took them out of mine and I missed one... I got really sick from it.

So I am once again going to revert back to my veggie eater self. (Oh on a side note, my dad hates my college, but my mom loves it so to spite him, she is going to do what ever it takes to pay for it. Yay!)

I would revert back for untill I move out, but I'm leaving in August.... and I've been veggie so long I would get super sick... I accidentally ate a hot dog weenie the other day b/c I made macaroni with them in it for my boyfriend... and I took them out of mine and I missed one... I got really sick from it.

I guess I'm really lucky that I am able to live a vegan life style. Getting protein is the hardest part but I think I'm doing fine with that. I feel slightly weird because I don't eat animal products and the rest of the world seems to be diving into this only meat diet plan. I don't know what would happen if I suddenly tried to eat meat now. I suppose I would get sick since the thought alone makes me queezy.

It would most likely make you sick, because your body is not used to meat anymore and will reject it. Thats what happened to me. Sometimes I wish I could give up dairy too, but that is where I get my protien.... so...

You can eat nuts and beans in place of dairy. That's what I do. 3nodding
