Our Favorite Pagan Parenting Resources

As a couple that sees the world through the lense of our spiritual beliefs, when we learned we were to become parents and therefore the spiritual custodians to a small person we took to every resource we had (books, people, the internet...) to figure out what pagan parenting looked like.
"What about this site?" - Damon
"No time, gotta take sleeping baby selfie!" - December
We, like many pagans, were not raised within our beliefs and had backgrounds where the religion of our parents (Catholic and Christian) was a huge factor in how we spent weekends, holidays, summers, etc. How do we, as pagans, translate these fun and educational childhood experiences into something our child can learn from and use without feeling indoctrinated and pressured? We don't promise we've figured that out - we're just now getting ready to start potty training and hoping to catch up on some sleep after a bought of teething. We did, however, think others like us could benefit from a collection of resources we found supper helpful and enjoyable!

5 Pagan Parenting Resources

Primoridal Willow (https://primordialwillow.com/)
One of my all time favorite witch resources for the family. I find Danie very inspiring both on her site and on her Facebook page. It was also very cool that we both had babies around the same time recently. Everything from her WAHM resources to her Pagan Parenting and Homeschooling articles are awesome! If you only go to one resource on this list, this should be it. She also has a great Pinterest account.
Little Pagan Acorns (http://www.littlepaganacorns.com/)
I'm particularly fond of their homeschooling printables. Even if you don't homeschool your kids, if you are starting to include them in your practice and tradition these printables could be a great way to explain or share with them. This is also a great resource if you want to bring printables or craft ideas to a pagan gathering where children will be present.
Ozark Pagan Mama (https://tressabelle.wordpress.com/)
This site is quiet now but still FULL of great witchy mama goodies. I'm a particular fan of the Heathen and Druidry posts on this blog as many other pagan parenting resources are from Wiccans and it's always good to see views that are a little closer to o
Pooka Pages (http://www.pookapages.com/)
Super fun activities, stories, coloring pages, and more for your witchlings. This site is a little old and doesn't look updated but I love its whimsical look!
Sarah Petruno's Blog (http://www.sarahpetrunoshamanism.com/)
This blog has some fantastic posts on how to handle situations where your child is showing psychic tendencies as well as imaginary friends, monsters, etc.
