Letter for Parents of Children Exploring Wicca and/or Paganism
Greetings to Parents and Primary CareGivers.
If you are reading this, then obviously you care about your child's spiritual exploration.
We do too. Perhaps, one of us at the Church and School of Wicca was recently
contacted by your child about our beliefs or your child is showing you this information in
the hopes you will read it with an open mind and heart. We have created this page and
our website for the whole family to share in the hopes that you can offer your child the
opportunity to have an open and honest discussion about this belief system. We hope
that you can allow your child to study Wicca while at home if this person desires, but if
that is not the case, we also hope that your child will respect your wishes and wait until
maturity to further pursue this path.
Things that we can reassure you about:
It is an arduous process for your child as she or he goes about establishing an adult
identity. Your love and support will help make certain that you continue to have a
constructive relationship through this very trying time and on into adulthood.
Interest in Wicca does not mean that your child is interested in Satan. Your child may
still be interested in Christianity or the household's religion, but may need to explore
other paths to recognize the truths inherent in all religions and in the family's religion.
Before you react strongly to any of your child's requests, please remember that out of
all the very negative options available to a teenager, yours has chosen religious
exploration instead of ... well, we all see too much of that in the news today.
We do not proselytize and are in no way recruiting your child. Through extensive
research, your child has found us. If you do want to find a local teacher for your child,
please make sure that anyone you meet will allow you to attend any classes and that
there is no behavior that would make you in any way suspicious.Our materials come
through the mail and are things that you can read together if you wish to do so.
The Church and School of Wicca will make any effort necessary to reassure you about
your child's interests. Please feel free to call, email or write with questions you might
have concerning our courses, etc. You will probably get our daughter, Jo Bronwyn
Frost. Please be assured that we feel she is fully capable in answering your questions--she has been our child and is now a parent facing issues similar to yours and your
child's in her life.

Our Webmaster is Bronwyn who has not answered email in a year!
