Depends. How debote is her? how narrow minded is her?

When you tell her that, will she point at you and yell "You worship satan in disguise!" or will she just say "You should do thouse things"? With some luck, she won't mind, and leave you be as long as she thinks you are serious about this, or it might degenerate into constant subconcious reminders that you are wrong, and create akwardness and distance in between you, she might even stop you from doing anything wiccan, dunno, by taking your books, materials, keeping an eye on you to stop you form making rituals... etc.

Only you know your mother, depending on her reaction, her acceptance is necesary, recomendable or irrelevant.

Go read this blog: http://www.witchschool.com/profiles/blogs/for-teens-examining-your

As you're very new to wicca, it will be a great help, and also, you can pick up hints on how to not antagonize your mother over your new beliefs. Megan is wonderful, you'll see (she's the one who wrote the article).

induce her to read some of the beliefs, leave book for her spare time reading, encourage her to go to pagan/wiccan sites, but please be sweet, do not argue and above all change topic when the discussion goes too far. people may say things in anger, once said is said. but if the talk (note the word talk, not discussion and not arguements) terminates with you stating an idea without going to the level of proving, you mother will think over it and come back after some time. slowly and gradually she will accept your beilefs.
blessed be

Legally speaking, Wicca is a neo-pagan religion, i.e., earth-based; in the same category as druidism, shamanism, etc, although distinct from these of course. Pagan means "from the country" etymologically. Let's not confuse things further.

The Christian meaning of Pagan is different yes... but also *erroneous*. ;)

As for the various types of Wicca, well, they're all Wiccan, heh...

I was under the impression Wicca was modern paganism?

yes, wicca is a neo-pagan path... i was taught this at least. and many seem to agree with me when i say that wicca is in deed a pagan path.

merry meet! well actually, ive been in your situation. my family is a christian.
ive let them know the real me step cby step. first was thru introduce them my beliefs, my way of living and my tradition. im not new to paganism... and ive learned a lot about it. ive let them see my altar, my clothes, my notes... but i dont let them read it. they dont get mad or what, they simply respect my beliefs. they saw my dedication and love for this matter and they never mind it as long as im not hurting anyone.

let them know the wiccan rule for them to accept you dear...

hope it helps.. BB
