Telling People You Are A Witch (How To Deal With Intolerence)
Whatever path you choose in witchcraft will be padded with challenges (like in everything). One of these challenges may happen early on – people are going to ask questions about your beliefs, and it’s important to know how to “put it” without turning them off…

The first thing you need to understand is that there is nothing that says you even have to come out with your beliefs. You don’t have to tell anyone if you don’t want. It is easy to keep it a secret.

• Know what that persons beliefs are first. Have a good understanding of their beliefs before you talk about yours.
• Once you know what the other persons beliefs are, find a common ground between yours and theirs – focus on the similarities. (Example: Christians believe in helping others, and do those following the Wiccan way – etc.)
