Pagan Families is a way to pool our collective wisdom about Pagan pregnancy and childbirth. Think The Pagan Book of Living and Dying for the childbearing year.
Why is it called Pagan Families if it’s only about pregnancy and birth? The site is called Pagan Families because that name gives us lots of room to grow. There are two visions for the future growth of Pagan Families. The first is to amass enough thoughtful and inspiring material to publish a book on Paganism and the childbearing year. The second is to expand the site to cover other aspects of Pagan families, such as parenting and partnering.
For now though the goal is to focus on doing a really excellent job bringing you resources related to bringing new babies into the world. If we start with this focus and build a sound foundation, we can grow sustainably. Let’s stretch the category to be very expansive and inclusive. If you’re a writer, by all means send us your essays, your poems, your ritual scripts, your prayers, your personal narratives, and your advice on topics ranging from Pagan contraception to conception to pregnancy to birth to adoption to pregnancy loss to the postpartum period.
