• When my partner & I did not have chilldren, we enjoyed both rituals which incorporated children & adult rituals.  Our pagan group have an adult only Beltane this year.  I found this very disappointing.  I guess we could have had Grandpa babysit Shayna so that we could attend.  It probably would have even been good for our relationship, which is struggling currently.  But, I don't want to need a babysitter in lieu of exposing Shayna to all of our spirituality.  Our Jewish practices never seem to exclude children.  So, now I don't want our pagan practice to do so either.  I guess I feel ambivilent about this.

  Well, many Pagans view Beltain as a adult Sabbat. I could see that a group may want to keep it adults only for that. Though in my coven we believe in the importants of family so we keep our rituals children friendly.
