(A/N: Alright now I'm in Motel's POV. But we'll get to the fic. Now it's time to answer reviews! I have a lot of them (alright only 9) so look for your author name.

Lilac: Hey, thanks! I'm not a Wiccan but I was caught reading a Wiccan book and you couldn't believe what people would say...but this is Jenny's little sister and she is only five so I had to lighten it up a little.



Keita: I suppose your lucky that you never had one. I've heard all kinds of awful stories from the Internet of what happens when you do confront your parents on the touchy situation of religion. I've heard everything from crying to the total destruction of one's alter.



FallenWraith: To tell the brutal truth my parents aren't really in to witchcraft. What's more is that they don't want me involved. The only book I have is the RavenWolf one. She's mentioned Cumminham in it but I've never read any of his works so I don't know if he's better or not. The only reason I had the RavenWolf one is that I was going to use it to help me with a Harry Potter fic I was working on. Then I actually read it and read all about Witches and I don't think they're evil anymore. Ah, the power of knowledge. Oh, and don't bother reading the Harry Potter fic. It sucks and I have no idea why I wrote it. Plus I think I deleted it.



Starlyghte: It is Witchcraft for a New Generation. Sorry everyone. Yes, even /I/ know that it's unrealistic that Jen would be so careless but we have to consider two very important factors. 1. Those little kids are pretty nosy and you'd be surprised what they can do when you're not watching them every second. They think that everything that can't hurt them is theirs to touch, God bless their presumptuous little hearts. 2. I didn't know how else I would open the story up. Lord in heaven knows that their was no way that Jen would come out of the closet.



Ixchel: Hey, thanks. There's a reason the title is the way it is but you have to read the last chapter to see what. I'll definitely email you whenever I update.



Silver Witch: I'm Catholic and I have Wiccan and Jewish friends. However I did study Judaism and Wiccan through websites so I didn't just slap this together. I'm still studying and reading of course. One of my Wiccan friends told me that if I wanted to be a Wiccan she would help me with my parents and stuff but I told her no thanks. I'm happy with my religion but I still love to study religion. I put it in the parents POV because I've never seen it done in their POV. It's usually third person following around the Wiccan. I want to show the parents point of view to give a little variety.



SailorSunaru: Buddhism? Evil? This is news to me. That's not what I read about them......



Funkless: Yeah, it's a bit weird but it's mostly of the Deuteronomy quote: Deuteronomy Chapter 8 Verses ten through twelve. It's at the bottom of the chapter. )



I couldn't believe it. My own daughter. Practicing Witchcraft. How could she get such a book?

"You see, I got this book from a friend before she moved away." Jennifer began. She got it from her friends? I should've saw that coming.

"At first I didn't know what to do with it. I opened it up and started to read it. I thought witches made love potions and flew on brooms and stuff like that but they don't. Witchcraft is a nature based, life-affirming religion that follows a moral code and seeks to build harmony among people, and empower the self and others." she added meekly, "Plus you said I could choose any religion I wanted to worship."

"We meant between Christianity and Judaism." I pointed out.

"Yes, but I'd know if you would get upset if I chose just one. If I was a Jew I'd upset mom but if I was a Christian I'd upset you. This way I can upset neither of you because Wicca honors all divinity." And being a witch wouldn't? I thought.

"Jennifer," my wife, Esperanza said, "We wouldn't care whether you chose to be Jewish or Christian. You'd still be worshiping the Lord."

"Mom, I'm still am." Jennifer said, "The Lord has many forms and through the Lord and the Lady I'm worshiping it all."

"The what?" Esperanza asked.

"You know how in your religions you see God as being both male and female? Well the Lord is the male side of god and the Lady is the female side. When we refer to both we call is 'Spirit'."

There was a long awkward pause. Thank G-d somebody eventually broke the silence with another question. I was even more thankful that it wasn't me.

"How long have you been practicing?" Esperanza asked.

"Only a month. I don't have an alter or anything like that because I don't think you guys would take it too well and I haven't practiced any magick but I have been doing something."

"And what's that?" I asked.

"Praying. All witches pray. You know, you guys do magick too by praying. Magick is making your will be done through Spirit. Witches and everyone for that matter get their power through a mix of Love, Positive Creativity, and Spirit." There was another long pause.

"What do you guys think?" Jennifer asked timidly. I really didn't know what to say. On one hand I felt like quoting Deuteronomy*. On the other this would get rid of that small religious difference between my wife's religion and mine. I know this sounds horrible but for a moment my soul weakened a little.

"You can. For now."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!" Jen yelled hugging us. We both walked out and Jennifer called back Mary. I couldn't look at my wife. I felt disappointed in myself. I should've stopped Jennifer there.

"Motel? Are you okay?" I looked at her and noticed she was a bit fearful.

"Yes." I lied. Later in bed I began my daily prayer when I heard a little trit trit trit on the tile. I kept praying when I felt a little skit skit skit on the carpet. When I was done I laid down on the bed when I heard a pant pant pant. I turned over and was faced to faced with a German Shepard and his long tongue licking my face.

"Ugh, Wagner. Go away." I moaned and turned over. Soon I felt the sheet being ripped off my body. I sat up and saw a corner of the sheet in the dog's mouth.

"Motel, go feed the dog." Esperanza said. I glared at the dog. Wagner wasn't an ordinary dog. All he had to do is pull of the puppy dog eyes and he would be fed a midnight snack. I was thinking about religion when I decided to give all the dogs a midnight snack. There was something I had to ask my wife about. When I got the sheet back and got another clean one I climbed back into bed.

"Esperanza?" I asked.

"Yes?" she asked.

"What about Sara?"



*(A/N: Alright so, Motel is a little prejudice against Wiccans. Oh and Motel is referring to a popular quote against Witches which is:

"Let not one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults with the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable in the eyes of the LORD.")
