about
My name is Cordelia Moore, and I'm a twenty-one year old Air Force wife living in England. I pride myself on intellect and am interested in many subjects, including Theology, Mythology, Psychology, Philosophy, History, Geology, Culture, Geography, and Literature. I am employed with the base Arts and Crafts center, and love to express myself artisticly. Some of my favorite aesthetic mediums are photography, scrapbooking, painting, drawing, mould pouring, stain glass windows, writing, and web design. I am a cat person by nature, and have two little felines name Sage and Eris. I enjoy helping others, ask a question get a sincere answer.Why did I choose the username Nyx? Nyx is the ancient goddess of Night in Greek mythology, daughter of Chaos. She is a primal ancestress, and mother of many deities by Her brother Erebus (Darkness). Her children are for the most part dark sorts and include the Moerae (the three Fates), Nemesis (justice and divine retribution), winged Hypnos (Sleep) and His brother Thanatos (Death), Moros (Doom), the Keres, goddesses of violent death, Oizys (Misery), the Hesperides who guarded the golden apples, Deceit, Friendship, Old Age and Eris(Discord).
She was depicted as riding in a chariot, trailing stars and bringing the night, and accompaied by Her sons Hypnos and Thanatos. She could be helpful or harmful to mankind, bringing either sleep or death. Nyx had prophetic powers, and gave them to oracles from a cave. She was older and more powerful than Zeus, who deferred to Her wishes.
advice
I am a Wiccan and so is my boyfriend. I told my mom he was (but not me) now she won't let me see him. My mom's a very conservative Christian who is very judgmental andtakes everything personaly. Should I tell her I'm a Wiccan, my boyfriend says I should..because even though we can sneek and talk we can't sneek and see each other and I'm only 16 so I still have 2 years before I can move out.
PS- I'm worried that if I tell her she will have me on complete lock down
I'm Wiccan as well... I have been for about 8 years now, and I can tell you from experience that coming out of the "broom closet" is difficult. However, it might be best for you and your boyfriend if you did tell your mother.
Simply sit her down and tell her that you are. She will most likely get upset, thinking your boyfriend 'corrupted' you... but be sure to tell her that you were before you met him(wether it's the truth or not), so that she will know he wasn't the one who turned her 'baby' into a 'devil worshiper'.
Next, explain to her what Wicca is... that it's a nature based life-affirming religion like any other religion. That you don't believe in the devil. That you don't go around doing crazy spells to make people's hair fall out because it's not possible. And answer any and all questions and concerns that she might have regarding the faith.
If you have any books about it, let her see them to read in her spare time, so she can better understand. Or you can show her helpful websites. She might scream and hollar, and make you go to church and 'repent' or whatever... but faith and belief is something that no one can make you change. You may have to go to church with her every sunday... but that doesn't mean you have to believe in the docrtine of christiaity.
As far as lock down, I'm hoping that she will be reasonable and see that it's completely insane and wrong to ground someone for choosing a faith different than her own. And she certianly can't put you on lockdown for 2 more years!
(Rating: 5) thank you.
