You know you are a Pagan Mom when...

•1.       You catch your kids eating cereal out of one of your cauldrons.

•2.       Your magick books go missing and end up with the coloring books or on the kids bookshelf

•3.       Your kids know which broom is for sweeping...and which one is not.

•4.       At their birthday party you freaked out when they wanted to blow out the candles and you insisted they use a candle snuffer instead.

•5.       You've written spells in crayon...and didn't realize it until much later.

•6.       You discover your altar has offering of Goldfish crackers and the chalice has been replaced with a sippy cup.

•7.       One day you discover that you mistook their baby book for your Book of Shadows.

•8.       In a pinch, you've used a spit-up rag or their baby blanket as an altar cloth.

•9.       You save glass baby food jars and reuse them to store herbs, sea salt or to use as witch bottles.

•10.   You love having a minivan now because not only do you have more room for the kids and their friends but you also have more room for you and your coven members.

•11.   *The emergency calls you get at work are your teenagers wanting to know where the extra candles, incense and other miscellaneous ritual items are stored.

•12.   You've considered (or have done) a spell to stop a bully from messing with your child at school.

•13.   Anytime they go away over night you pack a crystal or other protective stone in their suitcase.

•14.   You mistakenly tell a child to "cleanse" their room instead of "clean."

•15.   You either named your children, or refer to them in private, as StarWhisper, RavenMoon and NightShade.

•16.   A ritual calls for an offering of milk and there's none in the fridge so you look down at your chest and think, "hey, its milk!"

•17.   You had to cancel a coven meeting because your babysitter cancelled on you.

•18.   *If you've ever done a candle spell for a high school sports team your child is on

•19.   While watching TV you feel compelled to explain that is not how real witches act while watching Scooby Doo, and Gaia is not JUST a character on Captain Planet.

•20.   You search for, and get excited when you find pagan coloring pages online.

•21.   In addition to teaching your children the English Alphabet you also teach them the Futhark and Theban alphabets.

•22.   You insist that the quarters be called and a circle drawn before a PTA meeting.

•23.   You tell a family or friend about how your child tore off his clothes and ran around the house naked, but you refer to it as "skyclad."

•24.   You make a model of stonehenge...out of legos.

•25.   You go to use your wand and pick up a Lincoln Log instead.
