  • Telling my kids I am Pagan

    Dear Lovestar,

    I have been on a different spiritual path since 2020. I have explored many different alternative beliefs, and I have adapted much into my personal practice.

    Anyway, I started considering myself Pagan.

    I also told my kids I am Pagan. They had some questions and one of my younger kids was surprised when I told her I used to be a Christian.

    • I used Halloween to teach my kids how Halloween stemmed from a Pagan celebration
    • We started observing Samhain alongside Halloween
    • I already started this before they realized during Christmas, I added elements of Yule
    • My oldest daughter wants to meet her twin flame…
    • I talk to the about Astrology and they know everyone’s sign and they get treated like their sign.

    My kids find the bible strange and compare it to mythology

    My kids are so opinionated, and they even tell me, this is my opinion and “it will not change”. I am proud of this because, having 4 beautiful daughters (and a cute, cute son), I do not want to raise kids that will go along with the bad ideas of others.

    Lilli, who might be the most opinionated and is certainly the most loud criticizes the bible all the time. It was actually hilarious: I was driving the girls to Jiu-jitsu class, and they started talking about the bible. Lilli, in a very potent voice starts saying how creepy the bible is and how cousins marry and the weird bible stories and then she made this mistake:

    “Why have a son marry his mother?”…I was very confused. I immediately start thinking and the only such instance I remember was from the Greek play. When Lizzie, my oldest and most educated and wise says, Lilli, you remember that from my Greek class. Lizzie had the confidence I lacked in that moment to question Lilli and then we all had a laugh.

    Let us talk about this again some time,
