Witches in the closet???

Discussion for and about Christian witches and pagans. How do you merge your two belief systems? Please be kind to Christian witches. I have come to believe that it is a very valid belief system.

Can you please give me some tips on how to build enough courage to come out of the broom closet? I really feel that I need to tell someone that is special to me in my life.

WHEW! That is hard. You have to take into consideration what the reaction may be.What kind of belief system do they have? I kept feeling my fiance' out trying to get a good idea of what he'd say and how he'd react. Needless to say he totally floored me. His was, like I said in my post-"so what! I don't care what ANYBODY else thinks- if you're a witch you're MY witch!" (and all the time I was afraid he would think I had gone off the deep end). He believes me and accepts it without blinking an eye. Granted he is not a religious person. He DOES believe in the bible and all but he's not a church goer and never has been much. I have since told my oldest daughter (yesterday, as a matter of fact) She was OK too. She recognizes that witch doesn't necessaily mean evil. And in the course of our conversation we realized (really, for me, confirmed-) that she is an empath/clairsentient too and always has been, Now our circle is complete. I 'knew' there was a third to my youngest daughter and myself.
I have a son who I CANNOT under any circumstance reveal myself to yet however, He has been with his fanatical father for the past 6 years being brainwashed and only in the past month broken away. He could not handle it.
The only advice I can really offer is to be careful and very sensitive to clues.as to how he feels about such things. I kept dropping hints and joking around about it literally for months before i told.
I send you Blessings and would like to know how it turns out.

Thank you Truthseeker, everyone I know practices Christianity therefore I'm afraid they wouldn't understand. I have told one of my friends and she thinks it's very interesting and I'm teaching her my knowledge of Wicca :) I'm glad your fiance' understood :) but I'm sorry your son has been brainwashed.
May you and your family be blessed :)

To Truthseeker and Amythest_Stargazer:

I'm struggling right now. I love what I am, and what I do. No one else knows though. Being a witch here, right in the buckle of the Bible Belt in a small town in Arkansas, is not just seen as part of "the devil's work", but also as a joke. If I said that I was a witch everyone would probably laugh at me. Then if I kept insisting they would curse me, kick me out, etc. The only person I could tell I'm afraid to tell. She's the only one who knows anything about me anymore. I'm struggling, I'm drowning. I'm glad I only have a few more suffocating months. Then I leave, and I'm not sure where to go.

You've stood it this long, so please don't be in haste that you move without a plan or adequate support.

I'd never shared my spirituality with my family either. We were never on the same wavelength and I just found other avenues away from home, without damaging the relationship. I don't share my path much at all, I just do things my own way with no fanfare. A few like minded have recognized the signs & smiled.
