This site fills a void in pagan-targeted information which is often not even recognized to exist by most pagans. The average pagan—having found their way to their path by themselves or in the company of other adults—has probably not given much thought to how you raise a child in a pagan faith or setting. What ideas they may have often are derived from their own [non-pagan] upbringing, and this can leave them confused and unsure of what they could be doing. This site can help to step in and provide support to pagan parents.

One of the focuses of this site is to create a community of pagan parents who come together to talk over their problems and share their solutions. It contains a great deal of useful and valuable information contributed by the different members. The information is generally easy to understand and is relevant to people following a variety of paths. The site also contains information and activities targeted at the children, so this is a good destination for your children as they venture out on to the web. Unfortunately, good as the information is much of it is older and the site does not contain a great deal that has been added or updated recently.

The design of the site is obviously targeted at parents and their children, but from the point of view of someone who does not fit into that category it lacks subtlety and refinement. This is hardly a fair assessment given its targeted audience, though. My design complaint then is that the site could be made even more visually attractive to children while retaining the easy navigation and tools that their parents will want and need. While the colours are bright they are only the primaries and could benefit from more colours. A site for kids should feel morelike a box full of crayons, I think. The design also has a few “rough edges” which should be smoothed out.

All in all Pagan Parenting Page is a fantastic resource for pagans engaged in rearing a child. Unfortunately lack of newer content and a design that could be improved upon have lowered the overall score. While I went with the lower rating it could have scored an eight just as easily.
