It is really hard to explain to someone that is not in the same world as you exactly what you do or what your beliefs are. Even though I have been a part of the occult world for more years than I would like to think or tell it is still hard.
Like I was saying this evening it is not that I am ashamed of what I do by far I am very proud of it. It is just very hard to explain to an outsider what it is I do. The business aspect is hard enough. After they close their mouths from snapping open quickly they begin to ask questions. Starting out with "Oh do you hex?' and finding out yes I do they then begin to ask more serious intelligent questions. Well sometimes.
I try not to go to much in detail as to much information can make a mundanes head explode for sure. haha
Once they have digested that I am a serious practitioner they begin to realize that maybe they have been misinformed of what people of the Craft really are all about.
We are just as normal or abnormal as the next We are your sisters, brothers, neighbors and bosses.
It never gets any easier, believe me. We are always tested on how far to go. Remember the golden rule, Silence. Trust of outsiders must be earned. Never ever give to much. Even to the interested party.
