There's not really anything you have to do to achieve that. The term "witch" is simply just a label. As long as you think you are a witch and are willing to commit to that lifestyle, then you are.

By the way, being a witch means that you should still be realistic. Dont just think you can make all your problems just instantly go away just by a wave of a wand. It might take some more work to achieve that. Nor can you transform yourself into things like animals or vampires.

Lokiethewolf get hold on yourself already .You need to understand that even in this site sometimes blind leads the blind .Instead of running go around and ask people for more opinions .You do not need to have been born in witches family in order to be a witch .You become such by choosing to be and by studying and working hard on the matter .Being born in such family only make it easy for you because obviously your family got to teach you things from early age .We have told you to go to read basics and to practice we did not tell you to run away and start thread about doing so !Enough messing around already .I am done with you now because appears like i can spend all my day dealing with your fears and insecurities instead of you .

I agree with Artindark. And even if she says its against your religion, thats nonsense. There is such thing as a Christian Wiccan, and many other hybrids. And you can always leave your current religion if you wanted to. And it so can take less than years learning the cult. It just takes comittment.

You need to understand that the only person who knows and can validate what is right and wrong for you is yourself .Do not let anybody to get that inner power away from you .When people teach you to relay on them all the time and do not let you to do you own moves they are not right teachers for you they are not driven to make you strong they are driven to make you weak and dependant so you can boost their ego .Good teacher will listen his/her students and will change his/her methods to suit them perfect .But you need to keep in mind that no serious teacher will teach someone who does not know who he is and what does he want .Here and now you need to sit and decide who you are and what do you want .After doing that you need to start doing what we had adviced you to study the basics and to stand for yourself ,instead of running .You are young ,we have been young too and we have learnt that facing our fear is the short cut toward wisdom and growth .In magic what really counts is the power of your will ,therefore setting up goals and striving for them using your will is part of all practicioners path .We all started as fools we run away from the world and ourselves and we did so because we had to find truths for ourselves ,only then you can start to understand the ways that Universe and magic work .When i look back i see myself in you when i was your age and i am severe with you because i wish that someone has been there to make me face my fears and my insecurity earlier that i actually did .That would have saved me a lot of pain and difficulties ,but we all learn when we are ready .I am not here to study your lessons instead of you or face your fear instead of you you need to do that for yourself ,but i will not encourage you to indulge in insecurity and fear either .You do not need pitty or simpathy what you need is to gather your courage and willpower and start working on your goals .

This is a piece of scripture from a magical religion. I don't know what specific religion you are, so I hope you forgive if it's not entirely appropriate. This is from Liber AL vel Legis and the person speaking in this chapter is Ra-Hoor-Khuit, God of the new Aeon. The other deities referenced are Nu (Goddess) and Hadit (God).

"Fear not at all; fear neither men nor Fates, nor gods, nor anything. Money fear not, nor laughter of the folk folly, nor any other power in heaven or upon the earth or under the earth. Nu is your refuge as Hadit your light; and I am the strength, force, vigour, of your arms." -- AL III:17

You are a magician. You wield power, you can speak with gods and angels, you understand the need to live in balance and you seek it... you're awesome! Why should niggling comments from ignorant brats be allowed to cause you such harm? Brush them off and remind yourself that they say mean things not because there is anything wrong with you, but because they are uneducated and foolish and they lash out crudely at a world they don't even understand.

I can also promise you this doesn't continue after high school (I graduated in 2004). I was actually thinking about that recently - these things which seemed so huge and important when I was there, things like the idle teasing of others, really just vanishes in the real world.

Stay strong, seek refuge in your faith and your friends, cast a good spell for emotional and mental fortitude, and go forth into the world like the awesome and powerful magician you are.
