Rosewicket Wicca Coven

I would like any tips on keeping Wicca secret from my parents. I'm not ready to tell them just yet, I wanna know more of the facts before I tell them.

Just act normal. Or hower you acted before... lol. Keep your B.O.S. in a "secretive place" and your candles and everything hiden. Pretty much just act normal and they wont know a thing.

Oh thanks

I'm torn here, actually. I don't like the idea of kids keeping these things secret from parents. if you ask me, if you can't commit to talking honestly with your parents, how do you expect yourself to commit to a path and it's practice? Whether "they wouldn't understand" isn't really the issue here - it's about your character. If you lie, or hide things, or compromise your relationships with others, how much do you really respect people? I find respect for all things and ideas is central to Wicca. 

Not to say that you should tell them, because perhaps it's not the right time, but you should be responsible and respect tyour parents wishes at the same time as much as you can.

As for hiding it in the mean time while you decide to what depth you wish to study, the best you can do is not be careless. I mean, it's not like you can always peg who's Wiccan on the spot - I know I can't. Just don't leave your things lying around all the time and maybe delete your computer's history of wiccan websites. Maybe if you take a trip to the library for books, pick up a few extra ones of non-religious content.

The way i did it is that i told them i learned more about wicca and that if i can become one i will tell them everything

I tried to keep it from them, but with nosey aprents it makes it almost impossible. My mom once found my hiding spot for everything. She only questioned my tin of loose insence (and I'm sure you can imagine why xD).

But oddly, my wand, B.O.S, books on the subject, etc. were all fine and I didnt hear a word about them. I'm not the kind of person to tell my parents anything of that sort so I left it at that.
