Re: Wiccan wife and Irreligious husband. Help me make her th
Ok so what's the difference between a father participating with his kids in their tea parties (I presume they come from Alice in Wonderland?) and me participating with my wife in her rituals?
Both have imaginary beings involved.
Both have a proportion of believers and unbelievers.
Both sound like fun.
The difference is, the father knows once his kids grow up, they will (most of the time) realize what the word "imaginary" means in their imaginary friends, and therefore bid these friends goodbye as they pass through their teen years. Here I am with a full-blown adult who still believes in imaginary friends, and doesn't know what "imaginary" means.
You know, I can't even tease her "you're wicked like a wolf." It brings out her religious self in her response (after a short laugh): "I'm not a wolf, I'm a vamp. But I like wolves." I was referring to a real wolf, and the portrayal of wolves as wicked in stories like "Little Red Riding Hood." She was referring to a Werewolf. :roll:
