^_^; My big brother just found out what I am. He stumbled upon one of my books. *curses at herself* Stupid mistake to leave it out, but at least he's not screaming (he's reading it)...though... he does have a strange look on his face *gulp.* Oh well. It could have been worse. And I don't think it could possibly have been a better book for him to find (it's a FAQ book about Wicca! [lol]) Oops. Nevermind. He's asleep now. No more reading for him. *steals book back.* And now to wait >_<

Good luck Saeoko...That is how my Mommy found out...Why she was looking underneathe my pillow is beyond me...lol Anyways..

Dads are always hard...Just stay calm and be honest.

thats more or less how my rents found out, only they checked the net history rather than found a book.

heh, my parents found out when I was 12 when I innocently started chattering about it after a UU church sunday school teacher (who is a witch) told me about it. Well, they didn't care really, both being UU's, and my mom thinks its cool. my dad makes fun of me a lot and my brothers never let me alone, but I thank gods that I can at least be myself around my family. I wish it was that easy for everyone else!

Well, the day has come and gone and my brother has not said anything about it to me so I guess he doesn't care. That is such a relief. Ugh. I don't think I'd still be living with my family if they were the type to go through my stuff. Not that they could anyway considering I have always kept my magic stuff locked up for safety, but it's the principle of the thing. But my mom has done that once or twice, when she was cleaning up in there and accidently found some stuff. But she's cool about it so *shrugs* But I'm nowhere near ready to tell my dad about my beliefs. I'll cross that bridge when I get to it though.

....I had a tough time when my mom found out. She's very imaginative and extremly paranoid. When I told her about the strange things I was learning of, she didn't take it very well. It was, I think nov I told her in my gr 9 year(end of my 12th now) and I have trouble keeping up with my homework so my mom was and still is very obssesive over me missing any school at all, she has sent me school even with a fever long as I'm not visibly shivering and barfing. And If I barfed was considered better. I rarely miss school, to my mom its the worst thing possible. That showed me how strongly this moved her. She read somthing in a magazine that is aparently somthing commonly mistaken for ADHD as I was diagnosed with after showing similiar "symptons" to my brother who was actually properly diagnosed of it. It was some sort of quiz and some of the biggie questions was believing in magic and having "special powers". I never saw this "quiz" I managed to weedle it out of my brother who also believed I had this "problem". In the middle of a school week my mom took me out for 4 days!!When she would rarely even let me stay home when sick! Off on a plane to the capital to see a hard to meet docter who was an expert susposedly on it. It had a pretty big impact on me. Felt betrayed and all that, my mom thought I was crazy and I had no friends that really believed me, the closest friend who actually had "strange" things happen to her to was in denial of it and a christian. When I saw the docter he asked me things like did I see things like visions exct. and I said no to all of them, when he asked me what I felt about it all I said upset cause my mom thinks I'm crazy cause of somthing she read in a magazine, he seemed to take pity on me and then noticed my neck pouch, something I never took off back then except for washes and asked to see the contents. I let him and slipped in the special crystal I held hidden in my hand when dumping the other rocks and crystals into my hand. I wonder why now I so simply let him look at them. I think he asked me if I collect them and I said yes. He inspected them all and I named them...They were warm afterwards, maybe that was just from his hands but other people had held them before without them warming alot, maybe thats why the memory is striking me so hard right now when my memory has been so foggy. Not long after that he said he'd liked to talk to my mom about it and I could leave "if" I wanted to, I was very distruaght inside and anxious thus did, maybe I shouldve stayed maybe not, back then I thought I might have scraped through, ah! I asked at some point if I did have this problem and he didn't think so, I remember my mom trying to start protesting about it, probably cause I went from saying yes to having "visions" to flat out saying no in front of him. She probably told him that I was lieing anyways after I left the room. He was also a I think its called naturalpath docter, the health vitamins type of docter, and subscribed me some simple everyday needed vitamins like zinc and b-6.
Back before this was when I met one of Saeoko's friends who was a wiccan. lol we hanged out once and my mom was happy cause she thought she was normal, that I was making a normal friend(I tend to make friends with the misfits and unusuals[tongue] )And afterwards, I rememeber standing outside on a porch breathing in a fresh breeze from the ocean and my mother coming out disgruntled and I told her, even though we had just come out of the docters office where I denied everything that I said before that I wanted to become one also and that this "normal friend" wasn't so normal afterall.

Sorry for making that out like a story, just remembered it so well that I wanted to type it out before it faded back to the foggy recesses of my mind[rolleyes]Actually gonna save it to the computer for future references.

*cheers* Bravo Shadow! Wow she actually dragged you across the country for that? *shakes head sadly* Maybe someday she'll understand better. So you let the doctor see all the stones except one? Do you know why you kept that one away from him? Friend of mine? Which friend is this? (Bad memory, sorry)

No, I'm pretty sure I showed him all of them and your friend is, actually someone on here I think, midnight somthing?She posted earlier, one of her other names is jo.

Oh, Midnight_Star/Joanenna. I see. lol

my parents are ok with it. At first my dad didn't like it because he thought it was a christan thought ( he's an atheist) but when he read the books he was ok with it. my mom read the books with me and she liked it she is one to now.
