Hi, I really need some answers. I am 15 years old. I have always been in love with the idea of magick. My fathers family lives on a ranch. It has a creek and a forest. I feel powerful mand intune to myself while amongst the trees or in the waters. I feel completely enchanted while looking at fire, usually it is one of my fathers bonfires. When I was younger I would sit at the top of my bunk bed and look out into the empty hallway. I would see shapes and figures coming from my mothers room while she slept, they would walk to the enterance of my door, some ispired fear and others joy. Thats the first time I can remember questioning my Christian beleifs. Im afraid that I will upset my mother if I follow this calling. My father would understand, after I explained it. My father confided in me that my great grandmother and grandmother had pshycic experiences. On my fathers side Im scottish, irish, british, norwigen. All that good stuff. My grandfather had a vision of my grandmother (who has passed)reassuring my family of her happyness. I am so afraid that I will loose touch with God wheather through leaving my christian past into a wiccan future or loosing God by not doing so. I do beleive in one God. But I refuse to beleive all of these religions claiming to be the sole source of salvation. I feel as if I am more than everybody thinks I am. I feel as if the life I am living is not fufilling and that I am missing something thats a part of me. I dont want some untruthful answer. If you are true and can help me, thank you. But if this is not genuine please let me know and I will venture elswhere I need guidence. (sry for it being so long ) May you be blessed. In this world and the next. -Talia

Merry Meet Talia,
You are a special child indeed. It is so wonderful to hear from you. You are certainly a thinker who is serious about what she believes in. Good for you! Your spirituality shows through your writing, the enchantment with fire, trees, creek, and your experiences with other spirits.
You may have to wait a few more years to decide what you can do with your hopes and dreams. It is normal for some people to think that theirs is the only way to God. However, in witchcraft, there is no single way; Every way is okay so long as we don’t hurt another. Simple, isn’t it?
One thing I wanted to mention is that all cultures think that they are special. Some even think that they are better than other cultures. However, in Witchcraft, all people are the same. No one is better, no one is worse. E-quality is the best quality of witchcraft.
It doesn’t matter what your backgrounds are from, Irish, Scottish, Aborigine, African, Indian, American, we are all the same. We may look different on the outside, but we are ALL THE SAME on the inside, in fact, some cultures believe that we are all ONE (what some people call God). Of course, our family/religion/school may make us believe differently.
To answer your question, yes, Witchcraft is a genuine way of life and it is now an established and accepted religion in the USA. Gone are the days when witches were hunted by religious fanatics. Now the US government will punish anyone who hurts any being (human or animal).
You can have a future in witchcraft by accepting what is good in your religion and throwing away what you don’t feel is good. Its entirely your choice. I cannot tell you what you should or should not do. That is another advantage of Witchcraft. We all have brains to think for ourselves, so no one is necessary to tell us what to do and when to do it.
Hope this helps answer your questions.
Brightest Blessings
Rose.
