~ Thoughts on Pagan Parenting ~
Poetry is a very important part of the Wiccan Religion. Read poetry to your children whenever you get a chance. Encourage them to express themselves through poetry.
Music is also such a wonderful part of the Wiccan religion. I try to sing my children's names in little songs that I change or even make up. I'm a terrible singer, but they love my enthusiasm.
Expose your children to art. We're lucky enough to have a great art museum very close to our house. Give your children plenty of opportunities to express themselves through paint, sculpture, etc.
Read to your children. Discuss with them what they read. Get them thinking about what they read.
Cook with your children. They will feel successful and learn a valuable skill. It may take longer and make a bigger mess, but it's well worth it.
Start and continue traditions with your child. This is what they will remember and pass on to your grandchildren. The traditions don't have to be elaborate, just something you'll all enjoy doing together for the Sabbats or other special occassions.
Dance, laugh, sing, play, discover, cuddle, love, read, kiss, wrestle, run, skip, explore, make messes. That's what a Pagan parent can do with their children.
I think by being close to our children we become closer to the Divine. Sharing the Elements with you children, showing them the Full Moon...seeing their wonder and delight can help you feel it too
Other people's thoughts that I liked:
An imaginative child is rarely a lonely child.
Children will forget what you told them, but they won't forget how you made them feel.
Children are a gift from the Goddess. Loving them and taking good care of them is your way to say "Thank you" to her.
Parenting is a trial and error process.

Goddess, We Thank Thee
For the flowers that bloom about our feet,
For the tender grass so fresh and sweet,
For the song of the bird and the hum of the bee,
for all the beauty we hear or see,
Goddess, we thank thee.
For the blue of the stream and of the sky,
For the pleasant shade of branches up high,
For the fragrant air and cooling breeze,
For the beauty of the blooming trees,
Goddess, we thank thee.

Comment by Natasha B. on April 25, 2013 at 8:41am I have been told by my family that I tell my children too much. Their Great Grandma passed a few months ago and I took my kids to the funeral. I let them see her and explained the soul and death of life to them. They took it very well. We butchered a pig last month and I was telling my kids how the pig was responsible for giving us our meal that night. My mom thought I was going too far.....I want the girls to know that they should never take anything for granted and they need to appreciate where it comes from. Whether it be hard work or sacrafice of life so that we may live on. I do not hold anything back from my girls. They ask and I will give them a real answer. They can be protected but they need to know the truth. Bless you all.
Comment by Aradia Goseling on April 21, 2013 at 2:31pm Sounds great Casey & welcome to the group!
Comment by Casey on April 21, 2013 at 10:47am Hey Everyone! I am not a parent yet. Maybe one day. The reason I wanted to join this group is that I am Wiccan High Priest who runs a coven in NC. A few of the people attached to my coven have asked my help on family issues revolving around raising their children Wiccan/Pagan. Honestly, I'm at a loss in how to help them as their High Priest beyond a certain point, so I thought I would join this group and learn from the experts: Pagan Parents.

Comment by Fae Grimfang on March 11, 2013 at 8:53am hi, im still fairly new to this page but I think tht it is amazing to have a page dedicated to pagan parenting. im very strong on not pushing religion onto kids. I never have had them pushed on me. I have six kids not all biologically mine but I think it would be fun just to open their eyes to what mommy likes and chooses for her path. so, if anyone has any ideas or comments feel free to message me!!!
blessed be,

Comment by Indigo Autumn on March 2, 2013 at 9:39pm I like this group- anyone here from NYC?
Hello, I am new to PS and think it is wonerful that there is a group dedicated to pagan parenting. I was not raised iin a pagan houshold, so I find amny challenges sometimes with raising my children to be happy and comfortable with who they are and what they believe. I hope to learn much from you all and hopefully be able to contribute as well. Thank you so much!
Blessed Be,

HI, my name is Brooks and I am the owner of Divine Spaces. I am wiccan but follow a blend of many paths. I just go with what feels right and works for me. I am ordained High Priest with the Universal Life Church Monastery. I have been practicing my whole life as my mother is High Priestess of our family coven. So I was born and raised to be spiritual and blessed in this matter as I devote my life to spirituality. I am a new parent as of 6 weeks ago to my daughter Adelyn Renee, who is just the most amazing being. She has become my light and joy. I am a single Dad so its difficult, but with the guidance of my spiritual beliefs I get through each day with a little more ease. I am happy to be a Pagan Dad. Blessed Be. I am glad to be part of your group and look forward to getting to know a few of you. I know you guys probably don't want to see any advertising, but I did want to let you know about my online pagan store, Divine Spaces. I have over 6000 items all which are currently on sale for 30% off till the end of the year. Some of the lowest prices you will find in the industry so feel free to stop by, and merry meet, merry part. May you all have a wonderful day filled with love and light. Blessed Be to you all. www.divine-spaces.com
Comment by Gena L Hammerstaedt on June 9, 2012 at 10:20am Litha is coming up for the Northern part of the world, and I only have one craft idea for my daughter for decorating the house and that is sun catchers and one thing for out side and that is a sundial. I would like a few more decorating tips for Litha that my 6yr old daughter, and my husband and I can all do together. I am on a tight budget and limit to what we can do. If any parent out there has any idea I am open to learn new thing. Blessed Be.
