well, do you have any reason why you are uncomfortable talking to her about it? what was her reaction about it when you first told her? did she react negatively? I think that to make things more comfortable you might want to talk to her about it more, explain to her your interest, show her (and let her read) any books you have/get, or good sites...just be open. Easier said than done, right? *wry grin* But being open when possible and talking about such things is generally helps.

I think when i first told her she handled it pretty good i think she as a little uneasy but otherwise good i think i am nerves arounder her because i feel a little ashamed i feel like i am a little disaponiting to her because i have chosen an odd path and not a tradithonanol one

You shouldn't feel ashamed about being interested in wicca I really don't think your mom is dissapointed sometimes parents just don't know what yo say about things...

I agree, wicca is nothing to be ashamed of. What's wrong w/ taking an unconventional path? Absolutely nothing, that's what ^_^ We all have to follow our own paths in life, no two are exactly the same.

The Road Not Taken
By
Robert Frost




Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,


And that has made all the difference.

I have 21 generations of pagans/ pagens in my family we have this big leather book of shadows and stuff, i havent got access to it cause its in a different state or even contry with other relitives. My mom told me all about that stuff when i was little. But ive lost it all when i went how you say unreleigous... :whatmewor

If you're getting into and want to be Wiccan, I'd recommend sharing the info and books with her so she knows what's going on. Just start it out as an intellectual project then continue if you decide to follow that path.

Like everyone already said, just be open about it. Personally, I wouldn't try to have a big sit-down talk about it unless it was really necessary, to clear things up. If you just casually mention things like an upcoming Sabbat or offer to lend her one of your books, she will probably start asking questions, and once you have answered some of those, you'll feel less uncomfortable. If you are dedicated to your path and consistant with your mom, she'll realize that Wicca is just another part of her child, whom she loves.

Best of luck!
