The Broom Closet

There's always that time when as new witches as well as old ones have to make the decision to "come out of the broom closet" Most wiccans that I know for the most part have come out and seem to have positive reactions. I personally haven't come out completely. Only a handful of friends and family know. My sister was the first person I told. Shes a bit skeptical and sometimes calls me weird, but it doesn't really bother me much. As for friends, other than the people on Youtube, my close friend who recently moved was told. She accepts it. She didn't really ask any questions and sort of left it as it was. There are two people who found out at my work. My boss sort of figured it out when he first saw my pentacle and kept calling me a devil worshiper. I knew he was probably messing around, but it still bothered me a bit. So one day I was busy doing some work and he had come by my desk and was looking for something. My co-worker was standing next to me and my boss did what I expected and called me a devil worshiper again. I don't know what came over me but for some reason I felt compelled to tell him otherwise. So I said it. I told him I was a witch and he sort of looked at me and said, "Oh so your a Wiccan?" and walked away. That whole spat must have shocked my co-worker, who happened to be a christian. He hasn't said anything about it and I'm not exactly eager to bring it up again. I figure, if they have any questions, they are more than welcome to ask, but other than that I don't really bring it up.
I guess the reason I decided to bring this up is because I just had my mom walk in on me while I was trying to meditate. I had a simple altar set up. Some candles lit along with a pentacle on a piece of paper and drumming music playing in the background. I guess I had a phone call and I thought my sister was calling me so I ignored it. I guess the reason I frazzled me was because well obviously I haven't told my parents. I mean they both know I don't believe the christian god, but they don't know I'm a Wiccan. I know I want to tell at least my mom about it, but I just haven't found the right time to do so.

Half Blank

Today is Beltane. It's a really nice day here. I've been home all day. I'm kind of drawing a blank as to what I want to write. That's why this entry may seem scattered until I find something to go off on. I'm planning on getting a chest for my room. I have already decided what I'll use it for. I'm going to store my herbs,candles and other assorted jars and boxes. I'm also gonna be using it as my altar table. I'm currently using a fold up table that's good, but it's too high for me to have when I sit on the floor. Tomorrow we are having a small gathering at my grandparents house after a trip to the cemetery to honor my grandpa. It will be 40 days since his passing at which time it is tradition in Armenian culture to gather close family and friends and remember the deceased person. Anyways, since today is Beltane is figure I will do a small ritual and light some candles and do some meditating. Alright this drawing a blank thing is not getting better so I leave this here.
