I remember feeling so proud and awed when I started. Then I went to tell my mom and she just looked at me and sighed. I don't remember much else other than a really difficult discussion with her.
Now, I am pagan and plan to give my girl a "Rite of Passage." I know that my friend did this for her daughter and it was the most wonderful experience for both of them and brought them closer. I wasn't at the Rite, so I don't know the what occured.
I will look and see if I can find the ritual. Here it is if you are interested: http://www.sacredwheel.org/windsword/bls/rtcomage.html
Here are some other good links for coming of age ideas: http://www.yoni.com/maiden.shtml http://www.wmm.com/girlsproject/c556.htm (movie documentary of a navajo coming of age ritual) http://www.uuworld.org/2002/04/feature3.html (a womans story about her daughters coming of age )
I have plenty more links for pagan rituals, so if you want those, I'll post those on my journal begraven Just thought I'd be considerate of those who aren't interested `;~)
