Finding other pagan families can be a challenge, depending on where you live.  Some of us have very active communities with newsletters and lots of local festivals.  But others live in area where remaining in the Closet is a necessity.

Pagan parents and kids need to feel connected, part of a community.  Please know that you are not alone and that there are ways to find the rest of us.

* Check bulletin boards and ask at local metaphysical shops
* Place an ad in Circle Magazine or a local Pagan newsletter
* Attend your local Pagan Pride Day or better yet, volunteer to help coordinate it
* Attend a local festival and network
* Search Yahoo groups for pagan parenting/homeschooling email list in your area or
  just do a general search on pagan parenting or pagan homeschooling.  You'd be
  surprised at how much is out there.
* Check the Witches' Voice page for your state/country to see what groups or email
  lists are already in place.
* Create an email list of your own and post it to Witches' Voice
* Find out if there is a Spiral Scouts group in your area
* Attend a festival and stay connected with the families of your kids' new friends.
  My son's favorite festivals for meeting other kids are PSG, MMM, and
  Autumn Meet.
