🧹Witchy & pagan parenting ideas 🧹

So I'm a single father of a 10 year old girl. One day about 3 years ago she comes upto me and decides that she wants to put my crystals into colour order. This was the start of something that I never thought would happen. Today she has her own crystal collection thats bigger than mine with several books on the subject aswell as a fascination with star signs and she's starting to ask questions about Sabbats and the moon and other things witchy related. Now Iv never actually talked to her about the fact that I'm a witch cause her mother is the type of person who would go out of her way to not let her have things like crystals and such if she thought it had a deeper meaning like witchcraft. (Her mother is the most closed minded person iv met and is the kind of person to make someone feel bad about their beliefs).

Last weekend she was asking me about the sabbats and festivals and I taught her what I knew. Thinking on this It inspired me to do more low-key things with her if shes interested, that might one day grow into her own practice.

Now I'm not really one for doing original content cause I'm not sure how it will be received with been a male witch but I figured I'd give it ago and share with everyone in hopes that other pagans/witches who are parents find it useful.

Now I know no one's situation is exactly the same and all kids are different so some ideas may need to be tweaked a little.

Below is a list of activities and subjects I feel are good staring points.

Activities and subjects

🐝Wildlife watching

🕷️Animals and their meanings

🌲Nature walks

🍄Foraging for herbs and teaching them what is okay to pick and what is not (dangerous, endangered etc)

🌱Growing flowers/plants.

🌳Tree and plant identification

🌼Making flower crowns

☀️Watching the sun set/sun rise

🌕Full moon watching (Aslong as it's not cutting into their bedtime)

🌙 Moon phases and other lunar events.

⭐Star gazing

♎ Zodiac/Star signs and birth charts

🟣 Colour correspondences

💧The Elements

🍁The seasons

☸️The wheel of the year

🌧️Collecting rain water or spring water

🧚🏼‍♂️Local history and folklore

🌬️Meditation

🌿Herbs and spices

🍞Baking (Not really a Witch activity but if done for a sabbat or maybe combined with some herbal magick and intention)

🍂🐚Collecting things from your local natural areas. (Acorns sticks and leaves from wooded areas. Shells and pebbles from the beach etc.

These are just a few things off of the top of my head. Feel free to add something if you reblog or comment.

Hope this comes in handy and is helpful to someone and my first bit of original content isnt to shit ✌🏻😆

🌛𝑾𝒊𝒕𝒄𝒉𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔 𝑰 𝒅𝒐, 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒅𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒐𝒓 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒅𝒐 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒎𝒚 𝒃𝒂𝒃𝒚: 𝑨 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅.🌜

Before she was born, I created a special altar box that consisted of her scan pictures, hand written notes on everything I wished for her ie: to always know she was loved, to be confident and kind etc, crystals to strengthen our bond, mementos from me and my partner etc etc

I also created a protection spell bottle for her and 3 hours later we were rushed into hospital because of a really traumatic labour emergency and she was born safely, exactly 8 hours after creating the protection jar.

I charge her bottles around my crystals after they've been sterilised, I have a very large piece of rose quartz that I visualise infusing her bottles with extra love.

I smoke cleansed her room thoroughly before I gave birth, to ensure her room didn't have any left over negative energy from the people who used it before her.

I trace 'sleep safe and sound' sigils on her face as she drifts to sleep.

I use a baby safe lavender scented pillow spray that has also been charged with rose quartz in her crib to protect her and ensure she has peaceful dreams.

We use lavender, vegan and cruelty free baby body wash and shampoo to promote good sleep.

I stir her porridge clockwise every morning to attract good luck and happiness.

I am in the process of transferring over some of my grimoire and book of shadows pages into a beautiful grimoire to hand down to her when she is older and if she follows my path.

I am creating new traditions and routines for each Sabbat and Esbat that she can join in with me when she is a little bit older.

I will be creating a blessing for her bedroom to banish negativity and bad dreams.

I provide her with plenty of healthy baby foods for lunch with different herbs and ingredients that correspond with the intent of the day. Of course I stir anticlockwise to banish negativity and bad moods if she's particularly grumpy or fussy, and then clockwise to promote happiness and a positive mood for the rest of the day.

I recycle all her baby food jars and use them to store herbs, potions and spells. (It's a very good budget friendly alternative to pricey glass bottles that are often far too small for my personal liking.)

And of course, I gave her a Witchy name that truly suits her beauty.

Of course I will incorporate so much more into her daily life as she gets older as my partner is super supportive despite not practising my beliefs, but these are what I can do now at least.

Thank you for reading. 🌛🌝🌜

So I have decided to write a book of shadows for my little demon-on-the-way. Just a little witchy beginner boom for him. Filled with my experiences, knowledge, and path so that he can have something to turn to if I'm not there. (Like at work. And his daddy isn't the biggest wiccan ever, so he's no help. Haha)

I figured it would mean more to him that his mommy wrote it for him.

I wrote the introduction, why I chose Wicca and what it means to be Wiccan, and the colors tonight! Tomorrow I am going to write the wheel of the year and some crystals, as well as the Wiccan Rede.

I'm so excited. 💜💜🦀💜💜

Little kid sensitive to spirits

Anyone have any experience with it? I'm like 95% sure my two and half year old is seeing ghosts around the house. It doesn't usually scare her but she does get pissed off in the middle of the night. She yells go away I'm sleeping or cries. I just caught her yelling at a cat that wasn't in the room. She is still learning how to talk to I can't really ask her about it.

Even her dad brought up the possibility when he has her for the weekend.

Any advice?

[witchyparents]

Are there any moms out there who follow more trad or hedge paths than Wicca who have any suggestions for making sure that your kid doesn't get roped into your workings in accident? Or to keep them hidden from spirit attention? (Besides shielding obvs)

Baby tooth magic

My kindergartener just lost his first tooth, but I am having some serious spellcasters block. Anybody have a good protection spell/charm for a baby tooth?

[thewitchyelfmom]

I have always talked about wanting a child-a little boy specifically which now that I am pregnant, i am speaking into existence that my baby will be a boy- but never actually like wanting to follow through. Always feeling really weird to actually think about caring for him. But now that I have found out I am pregnant, I've become really attached to idea of taking care of the little demon. I've become infatuated with the thought of him growing inside me and holding him and feeding him and even staying up late with him.

So even though I am still terrified and worried and a little anxious, I'm finding the Joy's will out weigh the bad. And that I won't be in the exact same place in nine months as I am in this moment.

So, I'm sorry this was long, but if you have re entry found out you're pregnant and you're scared or worried just remember that the Universe has got your back. You will not be in the same place then as you are now. But only if you work towards it. You have to create your own reality. You got this momma! Follow the stars.

Blessed be! 💜💜⭐⭐🦀⭐⭐💜💜
