Reader Reviews
This is absolutely the best book for raising children in pagan traditions there is!!! It is non-denomination specific, but is highly spiritual. The content is superb - not fluffy, as I've found some pagan family type books to be. There is a stronger spiritual component to this book than any other on the market. It includes at least one very kid-friendly ritual for each Sabbat. These rituals are not the type you'd come across in a Circle; there's no circle casting, direction-calling, Charges made etc. The simplicity of these rituals is striking; they are beautiful and poignant and perfect for adapting into the family tradition (especially if you have little ones). They are simply brilliant and elegant. It also includes rituals for the Full, Dark and New Moons, which are equally as beautiful, as well as Rite of Passage, Hand-fasting and Passing Over rituals. It includes a wealth of information on the daily inclusion of spirituality into our homes - from daily prayers to the morning, meal prayers, nighttime prayers, to ways of honouring household spirits and guardians (indeed, a ritual for calling one) and how to add a spiritual/pagan element to the celebration of birthdays. It also includes teaching activities for children. It is a shame that this gem of a book is out of print. But I urge you, it is well worth getting. I've looked through all the pagan parenting books on the market and have no hestitation on recommending this as the best one out there!
