Raising a child in the Pagan way can be a difficult thing in today's world. This page is for the children and their parents who have chosen to walk this path. Submissions of ideas, advice, workings, experiences, etc. are always welcome. And now, I'll turn this over to my son.
A lot of my friends at school are Christian, and they have special things when they are born. Did you know pagan kids do too? I didn't 'til I asked my mom and dad. They still had the words written down they used when I was a baby. I put them here so if you have a baby brother or sister, you can use them too if you want to.
