Dreams-of-Claudia Honestly it was pretty easy for me to come out to my mom. My dad doesn't live with us, and I don't really talk to him, so I only had to worry about telling her. As far as I can remember, I just walked up to her and said, "I think I wanna be Wiccan," lol. She handled it very well, and simply told me to be careful about the label I choose. She has always supported me and what I do/am. My advice for telling parents who may not be so understanding is this: Pull them aside and tell them as simply as you can. Discuss with them about what it means to be Pagan/Wiccan, and maybe even share some beginner books with them. Let them ask questions, and do your best to answer them. Remember that no matter what, your parents love you and they just want what's best for you.
I really think the experience depends on the person's family, which kind of sucks. It's not under the person's control.

rmcdra Artistic Genocide The broom closet is the equivalent of just "the Closet" for homosexuals. It's a term used by Witches/Pagans/ect. when they haven't "come out" to their family or sometimes friends about not being christian. Yeah I get that. I personally have issues with it since it implies and reinforces that all witches are pagan but as long as it's understood that it's not I can deal with it. This pickled vegetable...
What rm said.
... could kick your a** !!

I feel that I got quite lucky in my experiences. I talked to my parents about me being interested and looking into everything, and as it turns out my mom practices some basic witchcraft(for lack of a better term, heh). My dad has always been accepting, the only things he doesn't like is the candles and incense because, like others have said, he thinks I'll burn the house down, heh. On the down side, I was kicked out of my best friend's house by her dad because they-at least he is, anyway-are strict catholics. He now wants to literally burn me at the stake.... sweatdrop The rest of her family is cool with it though, and her mom has even asked me about advice and told me about stores around here for things! Heh, imagine that, a catholic helping someone interested in this! wink
