I don’t believe that you need to “convince” anyone of your beliefs. If you want others to respect your beliefs then you must show them that you respect theirs. As this is a personal choice, I don’t find it necessary to know what faith they believe in, unless they choose to share it with me. There is no need to argue over whose belief is more valid because every person is entitled to their own opinion, it is what makes the world go ’round

I don’t have problems with friends, family or people in general “making fun of me.” It’s more they tell me I’m wrong in my chosen belief system because it is not what they believe in. In cases such as these, I simply give in to the fact that I will never change how they feel, so I do not argue with them. Thankfully, I don’t come across this very often.

Thankfully, as you said, we don’t have to worry about the “being burnt at the stake (lol)” thing any more, therefore I have no qualms about letting people know who and what I am right from the get go. If they expect me to accept them for who and what they are and believe in, I deserve the same courtesy and this affords them to make their own decision as to whether or not they want to continue any sort of relationship with me.
Blessed Be.

Hi Rose

Thanx for the great oppurtunity to learn from your expertise and experience. I am very (VERY!) new in witchcraft and are still following your MINI MAGIC WITCHCRAFT COURSE, and I am so excited to tell people that I am a witch, but did not yet, as I dont FEEL as if I am yet, I am still educating and exploring all these new things, which I thoroughly enjoy. I have commented lightly to someone that I am interested in the witchcraft and are reading a lot on it on the internet, and got a bad response – “Oh! Please, just do not believe in it, its bad and and my sisters daughter are doing that and my sister have got endless problems with her, she only wears black, etc etc!” I immediately recognised that as some gothic activity (am I right and knew that this daughter and me are NOT at all following the same path, but did not want to engaged in an argument, so I just left it there.
Another person (I felt like I wanted to help her very ill son by casting a spell for the little boy remotedly as they live VERY far from me and I have never met them in person, and I got a vision a day or two prior to this incident that a sick child will need my help soon)she asked a lot of questions and then all of a sudden says to me: “In the name of Jesus Christ, I forbid you, SATAN,to come near me or my family, Keep your dirty hands off me and my family!” Oh was I shocked, but then I burst out laughing as I realised that this person did not know anything about witchcraft, which she actually admitted when we were still talking. She deleted me from the conversation and now have no contact with her. I also said to her that she must understand that I am not goth or satatnic at all, but just wanted to help, with her permission of course, but if she so choose, we can leave it there and talk about something else. She just ignored me, lol

Rose, I to have had some of this conversations with the ministers in my family. One set was quite open minded while the other…. well, was not. Being able to have a nonjudgemental consversation with ministers of another faith was very interesting and informative to all parties. It also let me know what areas I needed more study if this chance (or one similar) came up again. I greatly appreciate the work that you have done and the knowledge you are willing to share. keep up the great work. Blessed Be
