  • Review: The Simple Sabbat

    (book purchased by reviewer, review originally written in 2014) This is a cute but straight forward book, with things to do for each Sabbat. For each, there are oil and incense recipes, suggested foods (with recipes), crafts, and a ritual with a simple format, appropriate for kids. There’s also a bit of information about the…

  • Review: Everyday Magick for Children of Earth-Based Spiritual Families

    (review originally published in 2012, book purchased by reviewer) I bought this book – I’m still on the hunt for things that we can do with my very active non-verbal little guy. My first impression of this book was, “OMG this is so lovely!” – I was so struck by the inside of it that…

  • 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…

  • A Video Rant on Resources

    I recently started doing a weekly video on Pagan topics called, “The Witch is In” – if people have asked questions, I talk about their questions from my perspective of 25+ years as a witch. Last week, I went off on a rant about how few resources there are for Pagan Parents…even though our oldest…

  • 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…
