Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.
I’ve been letting this ship drift a bit, as the managing editor here, seeing what happens if I stop saying, “No, that doesn’t quite fit the scope of Pagan Families.” And it’s been pretty great.
I started Pagan Families because I wanted to assemble Pagan childbearing resources in one place. I still want that and Pagan Families is going to keep that core of content. It’s something few people are writing about and something lots of us need, unlike Pagan parenting, about which there are lots of books, blogs, and websites out there.
But I called it Pagan Families to make space someday for more. Well, someday is today. So I’ve asked the graphic designer to remove “Resources for Pagan Pregnancy and Birth” from our banner image and I’m working on updating all the text.
Like I said, we’ll still emphasize pregnancy and early parenting, but we’ll make space to consider partnering, pregnancy, parenting, and more. How about preparing our children for puberty or talking religion with our families of origin or navigating homeschooling for Pagans?
