  • Revival in School?

    In early February, a school in West Virginia made the news for having a Christian revival at school during school hours, which some teachers stated was mandatory. As you might expect, some students and parents (rightfully) pointed out that this is illegal. Students staged a walk-out. The school contends that this event happened during a…

  • Psychic Powers and Kids

    One of my guilty pleasures is watching ghost hunting shows. I know that a lot of what they do is faked. And I know that the shows that get the most advertisements and air play are the most extreme and the most over the top. But they remind me of a simpler time – when…

  • Schooling

    So, here we are. I’ve been adding homeschool resources, and deleting one site that went out of business. I’ve also been thinking a lot about schooling in general. We’ve been very child-led this year, and debating not going back to school at all. But I’ve also been wondering what happened to all the resources that…

  • Podcast updates

    As the title of this week’s podcast says, we’re “Back at it” with our first episode in over a year…and what a strange year it’s been. As always, check it out on Anchor.fm or find us on your favorite podcasting site. We are seeking podcast sponsors and website sponsors too – if you’re Pagan, Wiccan,…

  • Review: The Magickal Family

    (book purchased by reviewer) It’s been a while since I’ve read Pagan parenting books and really expected to learn something new – many of the reviews on this site are ones I’ve written over the years, some of books that I bought long before I had kids. But there’s a few newer ones out in…

  • Holidays, Holidays, and More Holidays

    Wiccans and other Wiccanesque (are we still using that word) faiths typically celebrate the Wheel of the Year – 8 holidays, consisting of the solstices, equinoxes, and the dates in between those 4 dates. But not all Pagans follow the same calendar. Our links here have so far focused on those holidays, but we will…

  • Review: Paganism for Kiddos

    (review originally published in 2013, book purchased by reviewer) This book caught me by surprise, during one of my regular sweeps of Amazon for new books for Pagan families. This is, frankly, the book I’ve been looking for – a nice intro to Paganism for kids as young as elementary school. For being a short…

  • Pagan Homeschooling in the Era of Social Distancing

    I am not a homeschooling mom – not really. We did a lot of preschool at home because my children were medically fragile and not really capable of going to preschool at 3, and barely managed it at 4 (my oldest missed something like 27 days of school that year due to illness; it was…

  • WiccaCraft for Families

    (review originally published 2014, book purchased by reviewer) My copy of this book has a different cover image than the one shown on Amazon – a family in front of a fireplace, lighting a candle. The newer cover shows a child holding two adults’ hands, with a pentacle behind them; the child appears to be…

  • Review: The Junior Witch’s Handbook

    (book purchased by reviewer) I ordered this book with my own “nearly 7 year old” junior witch in mind. My own little witchling is somewhat younger than the suggested reader age of 8 – 12 years old but, I wanted to add something to our ever-growing home library to have to hand when the time…
