Whether you are in or out or partly out of the broom closet remember the only person that needs to be concerned with your spiritual path is you!
May your path be blessed with whatever you want out of it. You are the one in charge of which gods and/or goddesses you choose to make offerings to and work with. You are the one in charge of what you put out into the universe through wishes or spells or rituals or any combination of these. It is your wants and wills that are the center of your spiritual and magicakal path. Even if you are in a coven ultimately it is you who decides to participate in what the coven does or not.
Personally, over my 40 + years of following the Goddess who goes by many names including but not limited to The Great Mother/Mother Earth/Gaia and the God who goes by many names including but not limited to Horned God/The Great Father/Odin. Over the years I slowly and then fully came out of the broom closet in most areas of my life the one place I do not put it out there much that I am a pagan and witch is when I am with family. Basically, my family knows loosely what type of spiritual path I choose to follow but it is not brought up and I wear alternative amulets instead of a pentacle when I am with them or keep my pentacle under my shirt.
Why do I do this? So, unlike many of the Christians in my family, I do not feel I have to have an outward sign of any kind to be true to my spiritual path. My path is a personal one even though I lead a coven of my apprentice. As I tell them we are a coven of solitary witches who come together to talk about our lives or our spiritual paths or magickal workings and for the 8 Sabbats. A few months ago, in our monthly chat a novice brought this topic it up and it was refreshing to hear how others feel about it and why they come out to some people but not others. So, I asked myself does it take away from me walking a pagan path to just saying that I do? No, I do not feel that by me being in the shadow of the wide-open broom closet door when with family deteriorates what I feel and the path I choose to follow spiritually and magickly.
What are your views on the topic of how far out of the broom closet do you want to be or are?
If you want to see some information on any tradition of witchcraft, please put it in the comment section or email Lady Carla Beltane at ladybeltane@witchesofthecraft.com. I will try to find some information to post about it.
May your and your family’s lives be filled with all things positive!
Blessed be.
