A few years ago my daughter took an interest in the supernatural. Which was fine because I did too at that age. However she recently began to become interested in witchcraft, my wife (who doesn't really believe in any of this) even bought her a couple of spell books. This I'm not okay with, especially since my daughter just turned 13 and that's the age where I really began to encounter supernatural beings first hand. My fear is that, if she inherited my sensitivities to these phenomena then by going too far down this path she could unintentionally invite something into the house.
I don't want to simply say "You can't do this anymore" because she's a 13 year old girl and therefore a text book perfect case for the reverse psychology of "Dad just doesn't understand so this is now the most important thing in my life", as this could lead her to try and prove there's nothing for me to worry about.
Since I'm sure she will lose interest overtime I definitely don't want to push her to hard. On the other hand I don't want to walk into her room one day and find her laying tarot cards on her Ouija board surrounded by black candles.
