Pagan Babies
Want to welcome your new addition with a Wiccan naming ceremony or a Pagan blessing, but not sure how to go about it? Need to find a Pagan baby name? Here are some ideas for welcoming ceremonies for babies in Pagan and Wiccan families -- whether you're giving birth or adopting, these might be the right rituals for you!
Hold a Naming Ceremony for Your Baby
Few things in life are as important as one's name, and for Wiccan and Pagan families, a naming ceremony is a joyful alternative to traditional baptisms. It's a chance to welcome your child into the community of family and friends, and to bless them with the name you have chosen for your new baby.

Hold a Baby Blessing Ritual
Hold a baby blessing ceremony to welcome your new arrival, and to introduce your little one to the gods of your tradition. By combining these two rites, the child is joined to both the earth and the heavens at the same time.

Hold a Preparing Ritual
In addition to being a great way to get things you need for your baby, a Preparing Ritual is also a chance to prepare yourself emotionally for the fact that you are welcoming a brand new person into your home and family. If you like, you can include this as part of a baby shower celebration.
