Wicca
Okay, I've been reading a book on the Wiccan religon and have been thinking of converting to it. However, my mom is very Catholic and thinks that Wicca is evil. I don't know how to tell her I want to be wiccan without her getting mad at me. What should I do?

If you're really serious about this, try to talk to your priest. See what he has to say about all of this. Maybe next time you have confessional or something, or after church? This will show your Mom you're serious, and will help you in seeing what the actual church has to say. Maybe if things go well, your Mom will be more understanding.
If that's not the case, I'd also recommend to make the conversion first. It's very likely that your Mom will flip out, and think you're going through an immoral phase or something like that. Stick to what you believe, though! Be strong, and don't let her compromise who you are. Let her know about the religion, and do your homework. Get lots of research, study up, and explain it all to your Mother. It will prove, once again, that you're very serious about this.
It's going to be difficult, but if you stick to your guns, it'll work out with time.

I would skip the whole conversation. I understand she is your mother and you want nothing more than to make her happy, however she'll flip shit. She will be convinced your headed to hell. Convert if it is what you, personally feel and spiritually connect to. If one day it comes up, she can do nothing to make you change your mind.
If you would really like to talk to her, tell her how closely you feel connected, why it draws your attention. It will no doubt cause a whole lot of tension between you two. But she is your mother, she will only freak because she will try and protect you, even if it really isn't protecting you.

Don't tell her. She'll worry about you going to hell. It's best if she doesn't know, for everyone involved.
Also, I've found that the more you learn about a religion, the less you like it. If you later decide that you don't like Wicca, it'll be best if no one ever knew you did.
I highly recommend you read this book about Wicca:

It's the best, most unbiased, and most accurate overview of Wicca I know.
