so, the family/friends know you're pagan....
Either they've asked the obvious question, or you "came out." So, what next?
If it was a surprise, what was the family reaction?
If it's common knowledge, how well do they accept your faith?

I got outed, so things were a little hairy at home for a few weeks. It would've been much longer, but after a five-year period of absolute hell when my older sister said she wanted to STUDY Wicca--nevermind actually choosing it as her path!--I set my foot down and laid out some ground rules for reestablishing communication. It was tough, but things have been worked out. Parents don't exactly approve of my beliefs, but so long as I don't rub it in their face or bring it into their home, they're not going to raise a fuss. Both sisters are fine with it.
Friends? They knew, and they were pretty cool with it. Husband's cool with it. I have an ex who's not happy about it, but we don't really talk much anymore, anyway.
