Frustrated

The hardest thing for me right now is to remember that I am not equipped to do anything beyond simple spells and meditations. My father has legal trouble, my beat friend’s baby sister died tragically, and all I want to do is help in some tangible way. I keep reminding myself even the small things count right now.

“Why do you have a jar of water? What are you doing with it? Are you putting it outside?!?!?”- my sister seeing me attempt to make moonwater

My Very Christian Sister : Do you pray? Me : who? Me? Sister : yes you Me : yes Sister : to Jesus Christ? Me : uuuuummmm... Sometimes? Lol idk why she asks me I haven't been Christian for YEARS. Anyone else not have the courage and/or don't want the drama to flat out say I AM NOT A CHRISTIAN or whatever your religion is to your very religious families??

That moment when you begin your Wiccan journey mere days before the HARVEST MOON...

...and you have NO CLUE what you should be doing, but you know that it’s a BIG DEAL.

Independence as a Wiccan?

I am an adult and have been living on my own for the past two years, however, soon I will have to live with my Mom again for (hopefully only) a few months. While I have lived apart from her I have been able to find and practice Wicca freely. My Mom disagrees strongly with my choice to be Wiccan. And so I feel that when I live with my Mom again if I practice openly it will strain our relationship. For now she just ignores that I even said anything about it, and as long as we don’t talk about religion (which we never did before anyways) everything is okay. 

I have a deep amount of respect for my Mom, even if we don’t always see eye to eye. And I don’t want to hurt our relationship, but it hurts just thinking of how much I’ll have to restrict my practices. I guess what I’m trying to ask is this: Is it wrong to disguise my alter, and lessen my practices to avoid conflict with my Mom?

So today

I was making a dream catcher for the first time. And I suck at it but, when I was working on it I showed my mom and sister. They kept saying how I should get rid of it and how that represents evil. I looked at them very confused and asked what do you mean. They said that the middle looked like a star. Which confused me even more because it looked more like a shitty pentagon. I corrected them and said that it's a pentagon. My mother was all like "yeah a pentagon, we know what that means. You can't fool me." At that point I gave up and just fixed the dream catcher. I guess my mother doesn't know the difference between a pentagon and a pentagram.

Okay. So this has been plaguing my mind for a while now is wiccan altar stuff. My family has a huge tie to the Catholic saint, St. Francis of Assisi. My father is named after him, my father's tribe has their feast day set as the feast of St. Francis. My family has this amazing affinity with animals and St. Francis is the patron saint of animals. They even have statues of him in their yard where they buried the family animals. I even have it set up for my precious darling to be cremated and put in a St. Francis urn. I live too far away to have her buried with the family so this is my next best option. Anyway. My thing is. I wanna use my statue as my God statue on my altar. And I have no idea if that's even something I should or shouldn't do.
