Why?

I'm 24, married, live over 600 miles away from my family and yet have been chilling comfortably in the broom closet for about 10 years. My parents and family are Christian and I've allowed them to believe that I'm just a very bad (inactive) Christian. It's simply not true. I am Pagan and a Witch. My husband shares my beliefs, but is also not "out" to his family.

Over this past year I've felt increasingly sad over not being able to myself around his family or mine. I think my family should love me no matter what I believe, but I'm just scared. It doesn't matter that I'm a grown woman, I'm still scared. I want to take this next year to figure out how to come out of the broom closet to my family and how to explain it to them without freaking them out (too much).

Follow me on my journey to better define my personal belief system and find out how to explain all of it to my Christian Family.
