Bloody Mary spirit calling game,
Duuuuude. I used to play this in my really creepy elementary school bathroom in 2nd grade.

EDIT: I was with friends of course. I ran out screaming most the time though.

Joyful,
IDK exactly. My daughter was involved w EMOS , GOTHICS,& 1 Satanist and 1 WICCAN. I wouldn’t call the Goths their second name. Spider was Jason. They had piercings all over and tattoos. Initially, I thought if I reject them, she’d jump in. I thought, maybe if I loved them and witnessed to them, they would seek God in their lives. I didn’t know about the Satanists till later. I don’t think they were deep. It wasn’t obvious. GROAN. The Wiccan was so pretty and had piercings all over her pretty face.
The kids eventually moved. Satanists faded away. Wiccan pops up rarely. My daughter married Spider/Jason. He was a soldier. Because of military, he grew up,over time, to a nice guy, She & he were Catholic. Couldn’t get married in church b/c no time for Pre-Cana classes. We are at War!
A minister married them in back yard and he was killed 2 yrs later. Dang the church! Of course, when he was killed, my daughter became an Atheist. “IF THERE WAS A GOD, HE WOULD HAVE SAVED HIM”. All kids grew up. 2 are OK.
Now, I was babysitting my grandkids at the time. Granddaughter took up Goth w teenage, fazed into EMO. Difficult times. I’m not sure there are normal kids in public school? There are gays now and transgenders. My GD, was best friends w 1gay and 1transgender. Sweet kids. I don’t understand this but clinically, I do. The transgender was a boy and dresses like a girl. He looks good. He trained in Music in a college and sings opera. He was good! She was good. He’s taking hormones. Can’t afford the surgery. There not in our lives now. GD is in college.
Regret, the welcome in and I’ll love you, approach. Life might have been simpler w restricting type of friends. But, HS is not good. Private schools or home schooling are better. The regular HS has “on line” programs. May have to go in for labs. You can really control friends better w “on line” or private.
Definitely, be going to church and be involved w church programs.
Talk to your kid! Do you believe in God? What do you think, of the school and type of students there are? We just pass by, assuming they will be clones of us and the life we gave them and SURPRISE!
They don’t.
Still waiting for family to be saved, sanctified and washed in the Blood, as our Protestant Brethren say.

GOD, grant me the serenity
to accept the things
I cannot change,

Courage to change the
things I can, and the
wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardship as the
pathway to peace.

Taking, as He did, this
sinful world as it is,
not as I would have it.

Trusting that He will make
all things right if I
surrender to His Will;

That I may be reasonably happy
in this life, and supremely
happy with Him forever in
the next.

Amen

You know, Joyful, I was reading other posts!
I feel now—-MOVE! My goodness our stories are complicated . If we could limit exposure to things of the world, maybe they won’t get curious and change. First, ensure there is strong exposure to things of God. Pray! Pray the rosary every night. Make it avSpecial enjoyable time w cookies after??? This is true… keep kids busy in activities I.e. roller skating, music, art, bowling, dancing. Keep them moving and learning. They will dive into bed and sleep. That approach is solid. But, use common sense in what I just wrote. It’s over for me. No weirdos x my atheist. No church goers!! That’s sad.
Memorize St. Michael prayer. Your daughter , also. Check w priest if he thinks it would be helpful, for you to review all that stuff w your daughter, so she won’t be curious.
God bless you.

The light of God surrounds us,
The love of God enfolds us,
The power of God protects us,
The presence of God watches over us,
Wherever we are, God is,
And where God is, all is well.
St. Matthew, St. Mark, St. Luke, St. John,
Like unto the prophet Jonas, as a type of Christ,
Who was guarded for three days and
Three nights in the belly of a whale,
Thus shall the Almighty God,
As a Father, guard and protect me from all evil.
Grant me Protection
Grant, O Lord, Thy protection
And in protection, strength
And in strength, understanding
And in understanding, knowledge
And in knowledge, the knowledge of justice
And in the knowledge of justice, the love of it
And in the love of it, the love of all existences
And in that love, the love of spirit and all creation.
 
Since your daughter is only 11, I would make sure she also had Catholic friends.
She is coming to an age where friends opinions and actions have heavy weight.
I’m sure you thought about this.

Also, she is very young. If someone told me they were wiccan at this age I would be frightened, especially if the word coven was used.

I would start it by gently asking alot of questions, and end it with praying for the other little girl and her family with my child.

Interested, would you also worry about a girl of that age who had a congregation not of your faith? Because coven is a congregation of the wiccan faith.

I would have a conversation with my child about any belief system or action by another child that is not inline with church teachings.
 
Keep your eyes wide open!!!
In high school I had some Wiccan friends, they really did creepy things such as spells, Ouija, dark magics…I was there when they did or talked about this stuff so I can really say to you this is no game, its the devil’s work. Now, If you forbid your daughter to see this friend than she will probably want to see her more and her curiosity about Wicca could grow because she is in that age when kids try to break parents rules. I think you should allow her to see the friend but only in your house so that you can better control the situation. I would not allow my 11yo daughter to go to a Wiccans house. No way.
 
I will continue to pray and occasionally meet up with my auntie who has been into Wicca which is probably a substitute spirituality to what she seems to have left behind (she was many years ago confirmed in catholic faith now is non active). During my encounters I can still remain strong in my faith but I would fear for a young person still being catechised.

It should remind you of that, because it is the same basic argument. However, I think it has merit. I get along with most people, because I take an interest in them as a person. I am not close-minded as your first response seems to suggest. (Unless you are discussing people who practice the dark arts.)

If you want your family to associate with them, that is your prerogative. I don’t want evil around my family.
 
They’re not evil, so you can stop repeating that. My friend is not evil. Not passing judgment on people you’ve never met might suit you better. Again, I didn’t ask for your opinion.

Never said you were closed-minded. And it’s usually a lame statement to proclaim one isn’t racist by saying one has black friends.

I said it’s intolerant to dismiss people because they don’t think like you.

Then I must be intolerant if I don’t want evil around my family. I can live with that. I don’t want to learn who the Exorcist in my parish is.
 
As I said, knock off with the evil comments. Ridiculous. You don’t have to keep blaring your opinion and what you believe to be fact just to make a point.

Not to mention continuously offering up blatant judgment of complete strangers. How utterly Christian.

You have a right to your opinion, and I have a right to mine. I believe that Wiccans, Satanists and practitioners of Voodoo are conducting practices that are evil.

I am not alone in this belief. Frankly, you are being intolerant with people who do not agree with you.

I have said my peace several times, and you keep telling me that I am wrong. You go on to state that I am intolerant which frankly is not your business to do repeatedly. I heard you the first time. I don’t tell you how your family should live. I’d appreciate the same respect. Thank you.

I don’t think that anyone who knows me offline would call me a bigot. That is not the type of person I am. The diversity of people that I routinely interact with is something I would put up against almost anyone. However, I don’t want people who practice evil in my life.
At no time in my daily life have I ever attacked practitioners of dark arts or expressed my opinion about them to them. I simply stated here in complete honesty that I would not want my family to associate with them because I think they are a danger. I think that many people in the church would agree with me. I wouldn’t want one of my nieces or nephews to deal with demonic possession.

God Bless You.

Frankly, I am asking you to stop casting aspersions on someone you don’t know. Hardly intolerant. Let it go is the gist of what I’m saying. We got your point multiple posts ago. It’s a dead horse now.

Not once have I called you a bigot, either.
 
Intolerant is a synonym for bigot. They are one in the same.

You are the person who keeps responding to me.

God bless you.

Why?
Wiccans aren’t scary. There are quite a few around where I grew up. They are basically old hippies. One of them I know is the child of a Protestant minister.
I think the word coven was clipped from your quote.

At 11, i would not know a coven was not a bunch of witches. Someone would have to explain it.

At age 11 I thought of witches as Halloween costume characters and funny creatures off the cartoons like Broomhilda, Witchie-Poo, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, and Glinda the Good Witch. I’d dressed up as a witch for Halloween. I played a popular kid’s board game called “Which Witch?” I read a bunch of kids’ books about kids experimenting, generally in some comical way, with witchcraft. My friends and I used to go in the backyard and cast pretend spells.

The only thing that would have scared me would be if adults reacted with some kind of shock or horror to any of this, or to Wiccans.
