Regarding why other people practice in secret... Whoa. I guess on one level that's kinda of a "duh"... but on another level I feel like "Well, do it in public once and then she'll see you aren't summoning demons or anything." This side is promptly struck down by the side that knows that there are people out there who would consider just being around a pentagram on the same level as killing childern. There actually are people who teach the police to recognise pentagrams and wiccan paraphenilia as dangerous cult items, accosiated with killing babies and other such nonsense. I haven't encounted any of that myself, but I've spoken with someone who got a gun pulled on them by a terrifed policeman who called for backup because he saw a pentacle on a box in the back seat of their car. Really, the worst flack I got I probably would have gotten anyway. I'm just kinda different. So, in school, there was a certain amount of people shouting "witch!" at me, and a great deal of people wanting their palms read or love spells. (two spells that people requested that really stuck in my head... a girl spent a week convinced that I could put a love spell on a rock star and make him love her. Another time a boy convinced a girl I'd put a spell on her to make her grow a p***s. Come to think of it, that was the same girl. Maybe she was just stupid.) I don't do spells much since middle school, because the way I see it, the world requires the same amount of energy to get something done, no matter how you go about it. If you do so physically, it's just as easy, and simplier to keep track of. I still do tarot readings occasionally, but I'm not very good...
I guess I'm spoiled because I was raised pagan. People always go on about how horrible it is to be different in small towns, but I think the small town, coupled with how very different my family is, really helped everyone invovled. I understand that pagans and witches who moved to my area always seem so suprised about how accepting the community is, and I can't help but feel that maybe we softened them a little, and after stopping for drinks on our way to medevilist shows, having fight practice and rites in our front yard, there is very little left to shock people. That's right, I'm a pagan goth medevilist. There is nothing you can do to suprise me.
