Please indicate if you do not wish your question to be printed. Dear Baucis and Philomen, I am only 16, and I have been practicing solitary Wicca for about a year. I am having problems with people being frightened by this, including members of my family who are Christians and who want to pray over me or have me exorcised. Some of my friends seem to be interested in Wicca, but most of them only want me to do psychic readings or help out friends who they fear have become possessed by evil spirits. Some of my friends only seem to be interested in Witchcraft for the power that might come from it.
