It's a religion.
-
Well yes, but like.. What's it like?
-
It's a more spiritual religion. It's not satanist or anything evil. You don't sacrifice anything. (I don't really know how to explain it just give me a minute and I'll copy and paste what it is).
-
Sure.
-
Alright, it's not really loading. But it's basically like an earth-centered religion.
-
Ah, I see. Well goodluck telling your parents. Let's hole they aren't like mine. :)

Okay, it loaded:
Wicca is the largest of the Neopagan religions. Wiccans have great reverence for the Earth and for their Goddess and her consort, the horned God. Their main rule of behavior is the Wiccan Rede which forbids them from harming people, including themselves, except in some cases of self-defense.
Many, perhaps most, are solitary practitioners. Others form small groups of believers, called covens, groves, etc. Because of centuries of religious propaganda and misinformation, many conservative Christians, and others, associate Wiccans with Satanists even though the two belief systems are as different as Christianity and Atheism.
Our essays on Wicca are very different from those on Christianity.
Wicca is a very decentralized religion; many Wiccans develop their own beliefs, rituals, and other practices. The latter are often not known outside the solitary practitioner or Wiccan coven. So we describe the beliefs and practices that most Wiccans hold in common.
Much of Christianity is highly centralized within denominations whose beliefs, rituals, and other practices are well documented and available to us. So we describe the diversity of Christian beliefs in great detail. -
Ah.. I get it. A little.. But cool!
-
Haha yeah. I just have two problems: I don't really know how to start and my parents.
-
Well it said that most of them do their own thing, so why don't you? Just start however you think you should. And your parents. All I can say is approach the topic calmly. Don't yell if they say something that upsets you. I can tell you that they aren't gonna be Happy anyway. So yeah. That's all the advice I can think of.
-
Mmk I will do that.
-
You tookmy advice?
-
Well, I haven't told them yet. I wanna get started first, so I can know what it's like, and if I wanna continue it.
-
Ah. Ok.
-
Uh-huh.
