  • My First Little Workbook of Wicca

    (Review originally published 2013, book purchased by the reviewer) My biggest complaint: this book is perfect bound, and as a workbook, I really wish it was either spiral bound, or had tear-out pages, or something. I could see kids doing these pages over and over again, and I’ve recently come upon several ways to re-use…

  • A Witch’s Primer, Grade 1

    (Review originally published 2012, book purchased by reviewer) Let’s start with the basics:  I bought this book to review because I really liked the premise. Ms. Manderly says in the intro that she is interested in the idea of a Pagan school (parochial school) and felt there wasn’t anything out there that would serve as…

  • Review: Kindling Sparks

    (book purchased by reviewer) So, a month or two back I ran across a clergy person on Patreon and discovered that they were in the process of publishing a book. Specifically, “Kindling Sparks: A Religious Education Program for Young Pagans.” Many of the things from this book are on Rev. Jan Avende’s Patreon, but having…

  • Review: Pagan Homeschooling

    (book owned by reviewer) I’ve been promising a review of Pagan Homeschooling, by Kristin Madden, for some time now. I’ve finally finished re-reading it, and truthfully, I feel like the impression I got from it when I first read it, probably 17 years ago, was probably correct then, and is still correct now. Sure, it’s…

  • Review: Rupert’s Tales A Book of Bedtime Stories

    (book provided by the author’s publisher, review originally published in 2015) Rupert’s Tales: A Book of Bedtime Stories, written by Kyrja, Illustrated by Tonia Bennington Osborn I’ve probably mentioned before that my kids really like Rupert. We’ve been reading about his wheel of the year adventures off and on for a couple of years now,…

  • 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…

  • Review: Pagan Degrees for Children

    (review originally published in 2013, book purchased by reviewer) I really wasn’t sure what to think of this book based on the title. But reading it, it’s actually a really well designed curriculum for teaching kids the basics of “Paganism” (more accurately, Wicca) without being the sort of typical Wicca 101 book. It’s set up…

  • 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…

  • 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…
