Should my daughter be bringing her 3 month old baby to the Wiccan meetings and ceremonies?

Question

I'm not sure what she does there exactly but a lot of it is outside at night.

Answer 1

I'm certain baby "Noodles" is sleeping tight. By the way, are these bi-polar Wiccan meetings?

Answer 2

I don't think you can get a definitive answer on this from anyone... it's more a personal opinion type of thing.
If your daughter is Wiccan and wants to raise her child to be Wiccan, then that falls within her freedom of worship/religion. As long as the child is safe and not being harmed in anyway, then that's her personal choice to make.
I wouldn't be extremely concerned. Wicca is the worship of the elements and nature, and in its own can be a beautiful thing. I doubt that your daughter would put her child in a situation that would be harmful to the baby. Maybe a gentle suggestion that she be sure the baby is dressed appropriately (blankets, sweaters, etc...) would be all you'd need to do. If it really bothers you that she's taking the baby to the ceremonies and meetings, you might try offering to babysit when she goes, though I don't think she'd want to exclude her baby if she's going to raise her baby within the Wiccan circle.
It may help you to feel more comfortable and less anxious if you learn more about what goes on during her meetings/ceremonies. There is a wealth of information on Wicca available on the net. You might even ask if you could go and observe once or twice during a meeting. I'm not a practicing Wiccan, but I do know several people who are and I'm familiar with Wicca and what goes on during the meetings/ceremonies, and I would say that your granddaughter is perfectly safe.

Answer 3

Looking at several of your recent posts, your daughter is an adult and how she lives her life is her decision barring prohibitive laws. Wiccan meetings are like any other religious meetings - just pagan but not harmful or dangerous any more than a Christian fellowship.

The best thing you can do to help your daughter is to be there for her without being controlling or critical of her. This is an especially painful disorder and patients are emotionally fragile in many cases even when they seem otherwise. Love is the key.

Her 5 kids may or may not be safe when she's at one end or the other of a mood swing so it might be good to offer to help her when she's feeling low and to keep an eye on the kids when she's manic.

Unless the children are really in danger though that's about all you can do - that and pray. If you feel the kids are in danger then you must contact your local child protective services so that your daughter and grandchildren can get the support services they need.

No Mom Of Love She Should Not That Is Not Healthy For The Baby Or Mommy That Is Evil And Not God's Way As A Christians I Know And You Know That Child Will Grow Up Not Knowing About Jesus Christ.You Should Offer To Keep The Baby And Please Try To Get Her To Change Her Mind About Being Involved Herself That Is Not A Good Life To Live And Most Of All Pray For Her And The Baby

Answer 5

Well, you could offer to babysit for her there Grandma. The baby is too young to be affected by whatever goes on there (unless its all the 'positive energy') and its warm out now, even at night, so unless they are planning a human sacrifice or something extreme like that I wouldn't worry too much.

Answer 6

Do you object people taking their babies to catholic anglican or any other religion's churches? As long as she is not been harmed in anyway she is free to introduce her child to religion. I know of other churches in the mainstream that are at night too
