Hello everyone, I live with my parents (since im but a teenager) and I'm keeping all my practices and beliefs in magick a secret from my parents because they are very skeptical to things such as that and they would think Im crazy if they knew half of the magick I know/practice. Does anyone else keep their practices a secret from friends/family or am I the lone ranger? Any advice on holding secretive rituals/ getting required materials without anyone knowing? Am I doing the right/wrong thing?

Please note that it is highly likely if my parents found out what I do they would make me stop (IMG:style_emoticons/default/fie.gif)

I have been married for just over 4 years now, and this month I've begun to slowy let my wife in on my beliefs. I have typically hidden behind the tag line of "I'm spiritual, but not religious" when matters such as this arise. But lately, I've been letting more and more of myself out, though the reactions are what I feared...At work, I hide my pentacle under my shirt, so as not to upset the mostly Christian workstaff. Also, I do not wish to answer the same questions over and over, like "isn't that star what devil worshippers wear". After many years on this path, I have found that it really serves no purpose to share your beliefs with those who will not see. But do try to find likeminded individuals to discuss this with, as keeping to yourself can make you bitter and isolated.
