Respect is the key as well as a perspective that faith is such a personal thing and that even people with the same core belief system can have strong differences of opinion. Knowing that naturally leads a rational person to recognize that there isn't any one right or wrong way to express our spiritual side but rather that we have an obligation to ourselves to find what resonates with us. With my wife and I on different spiritual pages and my experiences with various belief systems it has become very apparent to me that for the most part religions have differing ways of approaching the same subjects; different stories and observances but the core reasons and not how but what is taught have much in common. I tend to simply think of it as expressing the same things using different nouns and backdrops. There are however some things contained within some systems which can be destructive to the individual when not put in the proper perspective such as the demonization of being human and separation from personal love and power. To a lesser degree perhaps the separation between god and self but that can be worked around to a degree. In the end it really comes down to how ones faith affects them, if it is positive and serves them well, bringing what they need, or if it doesn't serve, lowers vibrations, or actually causes trama. There is of course a wise point of view that sees seasons that come with life lessons that faith can certainly play a part in. Much love, enjoyed this video.

I couldn't tell you what perfect timing you posting this is! I have been needing to tell my boyfriend about my beliefs and practices but have been having such bad anxiety about it because I've been shamed for it before. I don't think he would be upset once I explain what it really means to be a witch and everything. He grew up Christian but he isn't an active Christian at the moment. This video is inspiring me and pushing me to just get up and tell him and know that whatever happens will be okay.

Oh I love when that happens! I know it can be really scary to come out. Something my spiritual mentor suggested to me once was not using "explosive" terms to begin with - like witch, but to explain what that is first. So taking the long route to present, as you said, what the word witch really means for you, before using that term. It's such a powerful word, a strong archetype and one that I think most, if not all people have a ready made projection of, unfortunately many of them negative. Best of luck with it lovely! I hope you and your boyfriend have a deeper time of connection from you sharing this part of yourself. Wishing you both loads of love xxox

That's so fantastic to hear

Christian and pagan relationships were around in the first few centuries of Christianity. I don't know how well they worked, but today I can see it being different maybe among protestants and pagans. The general agreement back in the old days between the church and the pagan spouse was that they weren't to interfere or keep their Christian spouse from attending church, which I think is a fair deal. I myself wouldn't want to date someone of a religion outside of Christianity, but I have a very "to each his own" philosophy about just about everything. It wouldn't be right for me to tell someone how to live and I simply have no interest in dictating someone else's life on anything. Good luck to you and your husband and I'm glad that there are civil conversations happening among people of different religions. I don't know if you've seen the comments on other Christian/pagan videos, but this is a much better comment section to view.

The Abrahamic religions don't share the same sentiment.

This one hits home a bit, but we're a little different. Both my partner and I were born into christian households and both of us converted to paganism before we met. We dated while we were younger, then parted ways and now more than a decade later are back together in a serious committed relationship, only catch is that during the time we weren't in each other's lives he converted back to being christian and I'm still very strongly pagan. Its really the only thing about our relationship that conflicts, and sometimes it can be really rough. Its nice to know (judging by both the video and the comments section) that its not an uncommon situation and other people are making it work.

What a fun little video! Love your doggie!! My husband and I were both Christians when we got married, and my spirituality changed about 17 years afterward. At first, my husband wasn't sure what to think, but much like your hubs, he sees how happy and more at ease I am, and although he still doesn't agree with my beliefs, my hubby let's me so my own thing, so it works.

Haha he was practically yelling that, wasn't he?!

I am currently in a relationship with someone who hasn't really found their path, though he is atheistic/agnostic amalgamation currently, and I think that me talking openly about my faith and practice has created an opening for him to really explore spirituality in a healthy way--because as we've been around each other, even when we were not in a romantic relationship, he's become more accepting of himself and his attraction to his heritage and several different paths. When he had more recently stepped away from Christianity, I found that he behaved differently. He didn't speak his mind as much, he didn't seem as comfortable in his own skin. And I think this can be the case for anyone who takes on a path that was not healthy for them personally--no matter what it was. I think that when we do something out of being coerced or socially pressured rather than following our own paths with grace and honesty, it can have a profoundly negative affect on us and our lives, and/or it can inhibit our ability to be our happiest, healthiest, best selves.

It's very cool that you've created the space for him to explore his own connection with the divine/All. I think it's a really important thing for us all to question and discover, and find our own connection. And I agree, I think being pressured into viewing the universe a way that doesn't align with us can be damaging after a point. That was my experience. I gained a lot from my previous experience, and then it was holding me back. I'm glad I was able to continue my exploration, while taking all my lessons with me :) xoxo

Something I would say about a Christian marrying a pagan person is that spiritual growth is what matters most. I’ve studied many religions and even practiced but ended up choosing Christianity in the end while keeping this insane amount of respect for all of them. So with spiritual growth being important I wouldn’t ever see a problem with it and I’d even say it would be a situation that would be more likely to happen anyways. I really enjoyed your video many blessings 🎉

Love this 💖

I don't know if you still make videos but if you do, perhaps you could consider a tough point on this subject.... death. When in an interfaith marriage with pagan and christian (like me and you), have you considered at all what the death of either spouse will look like? The funeral? On one hand many Faiths have guidelines on how to handle death arrangements. But at the same time there's the old wisdom that funerals are for those left behind. How can we conconcile respecting our different faith partner's final wishes but also find the closure and healing we need after they leave through our faith?

I am a Christian, understand that ancient peoples understood the rhythms of the seasons ! And Women held knowledge about healing using herbs and oils !

I have always Been a witch sense I was a Child getting lost in the woods only at the Time I did not Know what it was didn't start labeling myself a witch until early 20s any how even though I Feel I was Born a witch this encounter with my mothers indoctrinating pastor Intensified my Connection with my Primal roots and Magic so I thank them for that. :) I do Not Talk to her Pastor but Now I understand why my Mom is so filled with Fear and Of course we still Talk she Seams to be ok with my Faith now but Honestly dose not seam to want to Talk about it Much so when ever we Talk I do not Bring it up unless she dose..

Cool. Thanks. But can you turn your old man into a newt? A shout out bark to your dog from our three here. I was raised a Secular Humanist, and at 16 became an interfaith seeker who kept a light hold on Unitarian Universalism and later 12 step Recovery Movement. I then got into Christianity in a way that recognized Jesus´ teaching personal effort, spiritual growth training, and God´s love, and so no actual conflict with an interfaith life. I eventually married the "other side of the tracks" and a Fundamentalist Christian maverick, but have found my Taoist, Buddhist, Shamanic, 12 step Christianity just rock solid, or water fluid. Sure, there´s gaseous, too, but let´s keep thinking happy smells. So, anyway, God is a freaky fritter, and I´m just living one day at a time as an interfaith Sustainability warrior here as an expatriate in Brazil. Your hair colors are cool.

Once again very, very good. I love your honesty. So what do you honestly think of your husband's beliefs? I'm not asking about your acceptance of them, but your thoughts about his beliefs. My understanding is pagans are poly theist or at least female goddess believers. Not exactly Christian, Jewish, or Muslim beliefs.

My wife is a pegan and I'm a catholic in america .... The church refuses to back us but legaly we are married..... Just my family would shun me if they knew but her family accepted me as one of their own on the 24th of feb ... We both see the interconected ties of values even though the religions were different. Just the church i belong to refuses to bless the wedding due to hers being seen as "witchcraft" by the faiths leaders ... Though we both believe that love we share is holy and blessed on its own because in her faith love is the strongest form of magic cuz it cajt be controlled by humans and in mine god is love as taught in roman catholic schools ... So we both feel its the human nature of fearing the unknown is the real reason we are not yet allowed to go through marriage as a sacrament in my faith .... But if god is how we catholics see him the judgement would be our love is just as holy as a catholic to catholic love ... So my perspnal view is fuck everyone else our love is our love no one can stop us

My Catholic husband is totally fine with my new path but I feel silly knowing he's outside the door and can hear me. Really inhibits me in ritual. I'm just totally silent. If you had any tips on getting over that inhibition I'd love to hear it. and no I can't do ritual when he's out of the house. We have three kids. Getting five minutes to myself is a great treat.

Yes I can understand that. I would say the way to move through that inhibition is to just do it. Perhaps start small, talking out loud for breif periods of time. The more you do it, the more comfortable you will feel. You could talk to your husband about what it means for you to be able to do it too, open up that dialog. It will affirm that you have nothing to feel shame or embarrassment about. I hope this helps. Best of luck in your continued journey :) And I know about those times alone! Once kids come along, you realised how much you took for granted, the quiet silences! Many blessings xxo

So is Atheist a bad thing?

Can you combine Christian and paganism. And if so would you

@Owlvine

Yes you can Donna, I have a recent video about this on my channel :) xx

I'm wondering if it's wise to get into a new relationship with someone of different faith. I've just started dating a Christian. I've told him what I am. He isn't sure what to make of it, and having come out of Christianity, I'm a bit wary too. But we really get on well otherwise. It's so hard as single pagan men are so hard to find in my country. We, pagans and witches are a rare breed, but we are growing.

As to that, it's a very personal decision. I think it can certainly add a challenge when partners are of different faiths, particularly if they're devout. But all relationships have their challenges, we all need to make commissions for each other and compromise to find our harmony. I don't think there's a simple yes or no answer for this one. I know many people in relationships with differing faiths, and some of them are very happy :) I wish you and your man all the love in the world xox

Owlvine Green thank you! I actually ended the relationship for a different reason. But I was worried about his response when I told him I read tarot cards. For some reason that really scares people. I'm no longer dating online but rather waiting for the right person in real life. Maybe I will meet a pagan man.

What is your opinion on gnosticism?

I don't have a lot of knowledge of gnosticism at this time, not enough to render an opinion on. But I find it very fascinating! I'll share more in future. Many blessings xox

We are, although I must say he isn't deep in his faith at the moment. I do know people who are in "strong" interfaith relationships that have made it work. It's all about flexibility and compromise at the end of the day... both parties being able to have space for the other. It's not easy, but it can be done. Wishing you all the best xox

As a Jew, I thank you. Is thetr a video that you can do for me go support my partner. In her spirituality journey. I want to learn more so I can be a good partner.

Sending lots of love to you both as you go on this journey together. I recommend you watch various videos that relate to your partners religious beliefs. Ask her lots of questions and simply receive what she says. With flexibility, openness and work interreligious relationships can be very successful. 😊 Many blessings! xox

To answer the title, easily when neither takes their own religion seriously. More of a hobby just for fun type mindset than actual belief. For me i haven't and won't be with a christian, in their minds they think i'm going to hell, and truly believe it as if they are the one in the right and i am the one in the wrong. My religion is one of the biggest parts of me and if i can share it with everyone but my partner due to offending them, what is the point? True test of this will come about when kids come into the picture, either you all will fight about what your children will learn or cave and let them learn about both of the parents beliefs and let them decide for themselves, which is the right call sure, but also points that you don't take your own religion seriously. And in your husbands belief system he is in fact sinning just by being with you as it states in the bible of being married to someone outside your tribe so my point is made that it can be easy when neither takes their beliefs to heart.

We had a kid before I started practicing witchcraft. We're both open minded, flexible and willing to find what works. It's true that there aren't a lot of people who aspire to those qualities... close-minded people will find it impossible :)

I very much like the attitude, _Mmm, okay, Cool_. Yes, my special person and I can occasionally have in-depth conversations, but we don’t need to do that every single time. We particularly don’t need to give rebuttals as if the whole thing’s a damn political debate. PS I love that big white dog, who was then just a puppy ! ? ! 🤠

I too am married to a Christian.. We work great together because we respect each others beliefs. We can share and ask questions to each other and always keep an open mind and sometimes.... you just have to agree to disagree... LOL

I am pagan and my partner is Christian

Short answer... They don't work.

My husband is christian. I said that my altar was just for meditation, but one time he saw my goddess guidance oracle, looked at my altar and said : "I see". that was all. He then went to the kitchen to fix some food. haha

It doesn’t work. Tried it. Her Parents hated me because I was a “heathen”

I am not interfaith like you and your beloved. His is Norse pagan( not asatru) and I am closer individuated with druidism, we do have differences however we are both polytheistic still after 20 years.

What if you're in the broom closet with someone that is a God mod? Meaning what if their close to being a bible thumper and theres no way to compromise....

that's a tough situation to be in, and something you need to consider. Is it better to "come out" (slowly, over time) and be able to express yourself in this full way? Or is it better to be with the person and keep this part of yourself a secret? There isn't a correct answer, and there's no easy answer. But this is something you need to mull on xox

A true practicing Christian, not Catholic, would never accept a pagan partner. Maybe he is agnostic but I am not buying the Christian husband story.

Not all Christians are the closed-minded, mean, judgmental ones that seem to be brainwashed by their church. There are really caring ones out there. But they would catch all kinds of hell for being ok with anything outside their faith. And it's sad, really, to have to be that harsh and shut-down in order to be considered "faithful' or "committed" to your God. Thanks to the higher powers that my fiancé is lucky for me not a Christian. He was kind of agnostic but he's been getting more interested in following my path. that does make it a lot easier.

Certainly many of the Christians I know would agree with you on that point! Most would say to be open like this is proof of not being a "real Christian". Some are less dogmatic however :)
