pS.. Hopeful Dreams,
When we put out “faery offerings” for the faery- it is not that we are worshipping the faery- it is just that we are giving GIFTS of treats, etc. to them to show our love and acknowledgment of them. It is not like we are giving them sacrificial offerings as relgious cults do. Religious eople hear the name “offerings” and automatically their guard goes up and they panic.
God forbid that any of us should worship anything other than our God- and we are NOT doing that.
Maybe your father is concerned with the terminology used also– such as “offerings', etc.
The truth be told, Lisa. I did not call them “offerings” just gifts. Was the fact that I called them “gifts” make them think they were “offerings”? I said, “But Dad, these are gifts for the Faeries!” Then he said the don't exsist and told me what I already mentioned( first post)
How can I warm him up to it? Is there a way that I can just say that there isn't a way that I can change?Your good at this stuff right?
Why does my dad have to push the idea away that Fae exist?
It seems some adults just have a hard time accepting the unseen – and those who are religoius have a hard time realizing that maybe God did create other beings before He created humans! Yes, there are some faeries (the unseelie) who take the side the demons take- but there are also many faerykind who do not!
You will never be able to warm him up on it- My own father — who is now in his late 70's thinks the whole idea of faeries is ridiculous. I never would have believed either, until there came a time when I was ready to believe, so asked God to show me if they were real. And then He answered my prayer.
I still cannot share my experience with my father- Some people will never be ready until maybe years after they are dead and they are taught things they werent ready to learn on Earth.
I would talk no more about it with your father- dont' try to win him over to your side- Just quietly keep your heart open with the faery and leave them gifts and continue opening your life and hear to them — but just know that this is something you can really never talk with hiim– his mind is prejudiced against them and only God can undo his way of thinking.
If he asks you why you are leaving more gifts out for the faery- just tell the faery that you will leave their gfts in new areas he won't bother with– and then quietly put out your faery gifts in secret areas he won't notice. For food you can leave it out for 24 hours– or 12 hours if you leave out any soda or sweet drinks.
hang in there!
