I soon started to really look for more and expand my horizons, taking Philosophy in college, reading spirituality and philosophy books......and I feel I have really grown from that.
I will not raise my son by one religion, but I will not denounce it or hide it from him. I will show him that everyone has a choice and that all religions can be a path to God, but that the truest religion is within ourselves. Following our heart will take us further than following words in a bible, etc. He can choose as he pleases, but I want him to experience it for himself and see the big picture, not just one little puzzle piece.

Pretty much covers my views....and the way we are raising our Kids.
Right now my four year old daughter has a basic understanding of Christianity/Wicca/Eastern Mythology/ and Catholic Dogma. We are just starting the Celtic, and Norse myths. With plans to get into Greek mythology in the next few months (we Homeschool). By the time she is six....we should be well into Homer and have the groundwork layed for basic Psycology lessons. My three year old boy is following a similar plan.....but is much more into Dinosaurs than God....and so will likely be eight before psycology begins.
