Witch/Pagan Parenting

There are no standard for parenting Pagans/Witch children. Other religions have doctrines of how adherents should parents usually carved into stone. Witchcraft and Paganism does not require to follow to any set of rules personally as parents.

So what does being a good Pagan/Witch parent mean? Are we adrift in the sea of parenting, alone floating aimlessly? Or do we have a course charted and have set sail with our young crew, only to find we have set sail with others?

We share this wondrous ride in the unknown waters of parenthood, each sailing their own course but corresponding or attuning with others. Parenting of itself is a journey wrought with questions and insecurity, Pagan/Witch parenting even more so, as we do not have a church on every corner, where we meet with others and take parenting courses. There can be a sense of isolation in Pagan/Witch parenting, even when we have the boon of having those we share magical lives with, needless to state those who are solitary or in more isolated areas.

How do we raise these Magical gifts the Goddess has enriched our lives with? Pagan parenting is something that is not a widely discussed, or up to this time, not accepted topic in this world. We need to share skills and beliefs with others that has a wide understanding of the reality and the magic that lies
beneath it, the magic of celebrating life. Everyday we can offer a Pagan/Witch parenting community and others who have children they love and want to instrumental in their nurturing, a set of ideas to ponder. As we all need to forge our own paths in life, parenting included, it can be helpful to reflect on what others say, and take what we can use and leave the rest behind.

As The Goddess and God set us forth on our own course to sail, we too, as adults that love children, prepare them to set forth as well. Assisting them in plotting their own course as we continue to plot and sail our own.
