Sharing a home, sharing a Temple
-
Generally speaking men and women have different communication styles, depths, and comfort levels.
Spiritual practices are uber personal, and occult practices take that to a whole new level.
Sometimes the actions that we wish to pursue (ie vibrating) are uncomfortable to do around others, do them anyway, baby stepping through the fear of rejection, hostility, and abandonment.If no other aspect of your relationship is suffering then it may be safe to say that this lack of exchange in spiritual matters is most likely the result of cultural indoctrination of men to not talk over much in regards to these matters, as well as the propensity of men to not talk to much as it is ( generally).
Your husband IMO took a huge risk in sharing (what little iyo) where his head is with these subjects. I think you have been accepting and understanding, which I'm sure you carry over into your day to day life. I encourage you to attempt to bring the tenets of Thelema to life, in your own life. In my slant on life, I do not view people as teachers and students......as much as I treat them (most of them anyways) as a representative of the Sacred, Divinity. Just as you, IMO, should view yourself as a Priestess, your Husband is your Priest, god incarnate.
And......if you attempt to engage him in conversations on spiritual matters ect, and it's fails miserably.....that's ok too.

Also, ...Just a perspective you may not have considered...
If he's brought it up in the past, and you met it with resistance, he may just be quietly doing his thing without putting any pressure on you to be like him.
I'm just saying, honestly try to consider other possible reasons for his behavior first, and you may be able to generate more confidence in asking - since you wouldn't be just confronting him about what you fear his silence means.

Thank you both. I will meditate on thinking of him as a Priest and me as a Priestess, I think that will help quite a bit. No harm in trying to start the conversation myself to see how it goes, he might just be waiting for me to do that anyway. I've at least identified some personal insecurities I need to get over. Know thyself!
