| Traditionally children are Wiccaned around the age of three years. This had to do with issues of infant mortality and the idea that the soul becomes progressively more anchored into the body, the longer it lives. There was no pressure to do the ceremony quickly, as with the Christian infant baptism, as its importance is in affecting the present life rather than affecting the soul. In recent years however there has been a change to this custom as increasing numbers of Christian converts to Wicca have come to use the ceremony as a Wiccan equivalent of the Christian Christening ceremony, making it increasingly a ceremony of for infants. This change is not inappropriate for the changed conditions under which we live today. In times past children of Wiccan parents were often not taught the religion until they reached adolescence -even when they were raised with knowledge of their family's faith. This is no longer true today and Wiccan parents now have the freedom to raise their children as Wiccans, and most do so.
The following ceremony may be used with either an infant, a toddler, or an adult who is just entering Wicca. It is a specifically Correllian version, as will be seen by the emphasis on the Ancestors. The services are not limited to members of the Pagan community and are carried out in my personal capacity as a First Degree Priestess and Reverend of the Correllian Nativist Tradition. Services such as Handfastings, Wiccanings, and other rites of passage can be carried out in the name of the Correllian Tradition. All information will be forwarded to the Mother Temple and kept on record by the Tradition. Please contact for more information or to make arrangements. |
