I need help

Merry Meet

I am in the broom closet and I don't know how to tell my family and friends that I'm a witch.
Please could someone help me?

Blessed be

I told my friend and she was completely fine with it as long as I didn't ask her to be a witch. I've not told my family though and I don't plan on doing so.

You might not need to tell them you are a Witch at all my dear, the thing about this term is it's often very misunderstood by the community outside the occult. You see a Witch can be a Witch without practicing witchcraft. There are many many different paths, faiths and cultures that come within what one would call witchcraft. So you could say for example that you've started worshiping Odin or Freya, or you've started adopting certain shamanic practices etc.

I would stay warry of telling them. The main code amongst wiccans: to know, to dare, to keep silent. People have been killed, exiled and burned alive for witchcraft. It's best not tempt unless you can be sure. Once the black cats out of the bag it can't be put back.

Thank you all for your answers!

My advice is always be who you are and never be ashamed because if you can't truly be yourself then who are YOU????

I think as you grow you will feel more comfortable :) when I started it was an interest I always had .I was brought up as a catholic but my spirituality did not feel satisfied to just stick to what I had been brought up to believe, I was always interested in the senses and the energies and I needed to satisfy my own spiritual awareness which I felt I needed to learn for myself ! To be honest it was personal and I did not go shouting it out from the rooftops but as I adjusted to my way I never felt I had to explain or hide it !!
Hope this helps somehow !
