Okay Ive been a Wiccan for awhile. I REALLY want to meet other Wiccans but i have no idea how to. I can't go ask my mom where I can either she and the rest of my family doesn't know Im wiccan. I would LOVE to meet others but I have no idea where to find others or meet them or anything like that. I just want to know others or meet them. I need help. Thanks for everything.

But no legitimate groups will take minors, and from your question you sound a tad young.
Merry Meet Erika!
Similar to what the previous poster said, most genuine covens will not admit minors–online or offline.
But if you are not a minor, or just want to do some research for future reference and guidance, I would suggest you visit your local Pagan shops/bookstores. The people who work there can guide you. Also, check out the free Pagan newspapers you find on street corners or in Pagan stores; they sometimes list covens/study gorups in the back.
For now, you may want to join Wiccan study groups; they are less formal than covens and get together regularly to study the craft. There is usually no leadership in those groups because it’s all informal.
Also, you may want to try online covens (or online study groups). Some people put them down, but actually some online covens are VERY serious about it. Some, you must go through a 1 year and 1 day study course to be a full member or other things for full membership in the online coven. And what’s better with online covens is as time goes on, you will naturally get really close to fellow coven members (that is, if a coven is really organized well), and if you or a fellow coven member has to move out-of-town, with an online coven, it’s nice to know you can still be a part of that coven, unlike an offline coven. Also, online covens can possibly meet one day, like finding an area to travel to that’s maybe convenient for everyone….So just some thoughts and suggestions on that. I just started my own online coven (Christian-Pagan) this year, so I’m a bit biased.
All the best to you in whatever you decide! Blessed Be!
If you can’t ask your mom, you’re not in a situation where most covens will want to deal with you… no one wants to be there when someone’s nutty mom storms around, furious their kid is sneaking around behind her back.
