Review: Crystals R For Kids
(review originally published 2015, book purchased by reviewer) So, first off: if Atlantis, Aliens and Ancient Lemuria aren’t your cup of tea, skip the first 6 pages of this book. Really…it’s not worth getting worked up over. The author does state that her books are inspired by the Archangel Michael, so there’s that too, though it’s…

Review: The Basics of Heathenry for Kids
(review originally published in 2015, book purchased by reviewer) There are a lot of things to like about this book – it’s straight forward, and will be easy for kids to understand. It talks about family, culture, lore, relationships with the Gods, and more…all in a pretty short book. When the title says Basics, it…

Review: Children’s Reiki Handbook
(review originally published in 2015, book purchased by reviewer) Children’s Reiki Handbook by Pamela and Robert Yarborough Other than the fact that all the photos here appear to be teens and tweens, I’m really not sure what makes this book specifically for children. It is, however, an excellent and concise intro to Reiki. It covers history,…

Children at Events – We Can Do better
I’ve spent the last few months researching and writing about inclusion of children with disabilities at Pagan events on my Patreon account, and creating a plan (and materials) to support those children at Pagan events. One of the things I keep coming back to while working on this project is that we (as a community)…

Review: Healing with Crystals For Kids
(review originally published in 2016, book purchased by reviewer) So, I’ve been on an energy and holistic healing kick lately, and since I’m running low on Pagan themed books for kids, I figured I’d branch out a bit and look for “technique” related books for kids. Turns out there’s a ton of them. This one…

Review: Rock On!
(review originally published in 2018, game purchased by reviewer) So, I’ve been on the hunt for things for us to do as a family on the weekends. Weekends around here are challenging – the adults want down time, the kids struggle with unstructured time, and we don’t always share the same ideas about how to have a…

Review: Rainbow Bodies
(review originally published in 2018, book purchased by the reviewer) This book is made up of amazingly beautiful photos, each specifically matched, by color, to the chakra they’re talking about in those pages. Each pair of pages has sentences explaining that charkra, which rhyme (though sometimes, the length of the sentences makes those rhymes more…

Review: Growing Up Pagan
(review originally published in 2012, book purchased by reviewer) Growing Up Pagan, A Workbook for Wiccan Families I purchased this book a while back, looking for some books appropriate for my son. I’d say that even now, turning 4, it’s definitely still too old for him. It is, however, a nice book for what it…

Pagan Parenting in the Time of COVID
It’s been a chaotic few months, hasn’t it? Really, the whole year has been, and the memes get better every time something new pops up. I know that I joined a bunch of Pagan Homeschooling groups back in March (and a few Indigenous/Decolonizing homeschool groups, and some special needs homeschooling groups) – I’m one of…
