My dad normally would also react in a different manner when it comes to do workings, my dad lately has been pressuring me on going eclectic into the whole wiccan thing. However my dad has also been trying to give me advice on finding so called solutions to not make my workings offensive lol.
In my own opinion I do not like so called advice's be given to me on what should I do or not, Ive noticed that some people like my dad who was originally brought up in the so called conservative 50's and originally brought up upon the right hand path be it Christianity then of course would decide to leave the beliefs of it behind, would still remain upon the path of the right between the morality and the thinking of the herd upon the path itself.
