Guest guest Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 I forget how old your daughter is. Wicca and the " witch " you are talking about are two totally different things. There are at least three women on this list that practice the wicca religion and I'm sure any of them would be happy to explain how it really is. I'm sure they also understand your concern about cults and your daughter's vulnerability right now. I think that any religion that would accept your daughter would be good for her self esteem which I think all kids need. We are Baptist and the church is right in our backyard. Every Sunday I feel sad that I cannot be there. My neighbor takes her son and stays for half an hour and that's it because they cannot handle him. I think if the church was really that open they would hire someone so that she could etend church Hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think she is unlikable? I think she has a very healthy view that people should like her for who she is. SHE has to decide if she's going to change herself to please other people - or to please herself. > I guess in a way though, dont' a lot of kids go through this? > Especially ones who feel they're social outcasts anyway? Absolutely. I went through a huge occult phase during that age. (I don't count Wicca as being occult) I used ouija boards, held seances with my friends, the whole preteen shebang. All my friends were right there with me, and I don't know any woman who didn't go through such a phase when she was a young girl. As an adult, I still use tarot cards, but I don't believe there is any spiritual influence on them; I believe they are a scientific tool to reach your subconscious. If this helps, I've studied Wicca. Wiccans do believe in a higher power in the form of the Lord and the Lady, the caretakers of the earth. They are loving and gentle dieties. Wicca is a very earth-centred religion as opposed to a people-centred religion. They have a code of behaviour and belief that includes respecting all people, doing no harm to person, creature, or planet. They regard the earth as the embodiment of the spirit, and people as part of that embodiment. There is no worship of a dark element, or calling upon spirits to do harm. It's a very loving religion, and it's not a cult. People are free to practise or to leave as they feel is right for them.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 , Maybe you could try telling her that if she wants kids to like her for who she is, then she is going to have to accept that by letting herself go, some kids aren't going to like her. If she wants more kids to like her, then she's going to have to follow some of the standard expectations about hygiene and style.

She is such a pretty girl, but she dresses horribly (dressy pants with crappy tee shirts and boots!) , doesn't take care of her hygeine issues, I can't even get her to comb her hair half the time. Whenever she talks and is nervous, she will say something completely inappropriate and I have to admit she sounds strange. I am even guilty of giving her a hard time about it. <<<<<<< Sounds like Jacqui. >>>>>> There is this huge wiccan following thing going on right now and quite frankly it scares me that she's gonna get all wrapped up in that occult crap. <<<<<< I'm sure you've already gotten the low-down on the Wiccan Religion way before I read this. From past posts, I think you are the one that has said in the past you like to look at the " whole picture " . I'd learn a little more about Wicca before you categorize it as " occult crap " . JMHO.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 Margaret No, I was not suggesting you exercise with RIPPED muscle tissue ...I must have missed a post that your wrote that described your injury and only meant to encourage you to try to keep some of the work in your body and that was it please?.... If you read my post thouroughly that would be the implication. I am opposed at the mentality of the athlete pushing through pain ....that is how most of us got here...
