Pagan Parenting: Spiritual, Magical & Emotional Development of the Child by
Kristin Madden

Review
“…Ms. Madden completely avoids sounding like a pagan Dear Abby. Unlike many parenting books available, she does not have some sort of `do this and everything will be perfect’ child raising system to sell to the reader. She has experience, and wisdom and she share sit with us while all the while avoiding the trap of being the ‘expert.’

“I highly recommend Pagan Parenting in it’s revised and expanded edition to any Pagan with, or soon to have, children.” — Facing North –This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
Product Description
This is a guide for any pagan family, no matter what its relgion. It describes the development of the human energy system from conception through adolescence, and how it relates to a child’s spiritual, magical, and emotional development. The main focus of the book is on games and exercises designed to encourage the beneficial development of innate psychic and magical abilities. It aims to foster healthy family relationships and offer parents suggestions on how to handle common pagan parenting issues, such as how to answer tough questions asked by young children and teens, and how to deal with the honesty versus secrecy dilemma regarding practices and beliefs.

Neo-Paganism has come of age. When I first became a Pagan in the 1970s, very few Pagans I knew had children. This quickly changed, of course, as people started forming families, both traditional and non-traditional. Unfortunately, only recently have books aimed at helping Pagan parents raise their Pagan children been published.

In her deceptively short book, Pagan Parenting, Kristen Madden covers the basics of raising a child in a Pagan home. She provides games, exercises, and rituals for children of all ages and their parents to help a child develop his or her psychic and magickal abilities. Most are simple and easy for a young child to understand (shielding as being inside an egg, for example) and are designed around a child’s attention span.

While these activities are what the back cover blurb stresses, there is a lot more to this book: material that may actually be more useful and important to many parents. The chapter on the family covers things you will not find in standard books on families, such as communal and polyamorous families and families where parents are involved in alternate sexual lifestyles. The chapter on communities discusses Pagan communities, including things to consider when going to Pagan festivals with your children. This book helps parents answer a number of tough questions that generally aren’t answered — or even considered — in mainstream books on parenting. Unfortunately, some topics like deciding whether or not to homeschool, are given less attention than they probably deserve.

One thing I really like about this book is that the author doesn’t try to tell parents what they should be doing. Unlike so many books I’ve seen on raising children, the author of Pagan Parenting doesn’t have the one perfect child-raising system to sell the reader. The author doesn’t come across as “The Expert” lecturing parents on the “proper way” to raise their children. Instead she comes across as a friend presenting ideas and discussing methods other Pagans have used in particular situations.

I’d recommend this book to any Pagan with children or thinking of having children. It provides a thoughtful general overview of being a Pagan parent and raising a Pagan child in a Pagan family. It will not give you the answers, but it will give you ideas and activities. Most importantly, this book will make you think about your responsibilities and the decisions you are making from a Pagan perspective. Thinking about such things is something I think all parents should do.

Teen Witch: Wicca for a New Generation (Kindle Edition)
by Silver RavenWolf

Okay, so the cover is a little hokey, but it’s what’s inside that counts, right? Well, Silver RavenWolf has stuffed Teen Witch with enough basic material on Wicca to give anyone a good start to understanding the craft. As the title implies, this book is geared for teens, addressing the truths and myths about witchcraft in light of the issues that teens face, from school to parents to peer pressure. Precocious readers may feel that RavenWolf is talking down to them at times, but keep in mind that this book addresses a broad age group, and Mama Silver (as she is often called) does an admirable job of presenting this information in a manner to which younger readers can relate, while still meeting the needs of the high-school senior. Teen Witch may not be the ultimate “How to be a Witch” guide, and anyone who thinks RavenWolf is trying to write one has missed her whole point. No single book could stake a valid claim to that title.

What Teen Witch offers is an easy-to-grasp introduction to the Craft that answers the basic questions about what being a witch is really all about, and RavenWolf provides a long list of follow-up material for anyone who feels that witchcraft might be the path he or she wants to follow. Writing a book for teenagers about any religion is a tricky prospect, but Mama Silver tackles the problem of discussing an ancient path that has suffered a long history of persecution and negative stereotypes in a way that doesn’t step on anyone’s toes and shouldn’t offend the religious sensibilities of anyone with a mind open to the truth. –Brian Patterson

Wicca for Beginners: Fundamentals of Philosophy & Practice
By Thea Sabin

From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. In her first book-length work, Sabin presents a first-rate, fresh and thorough addition to the burgeoning field of earth-based spiritual practice volumes. Sometimes using examples that young people can relate to (SATs, dying grandmothers), she opens the door to this path for people of all ages who want concrete beginnings to “work actively and spiritually to develop as a person.” Sabin covers well the familiar territory of the calendar, circle, pentagram, tools, etc., but she shines distinctively in several areas. The first is in Wiccan history, written in a light, informative style that magically mines depth, breadth and brevity. Another is in the emphasis on personal will and ethical practices that transcend reliance on external paraphernalia. She also deftly shows how the various tools and spells can be put into use, but always encourages practitioners to utilize their own experiences, environment and spiritual intelligence to shape their practice. Especially helpful are the criteria to assess groups and potential teachers, and the volume is capped by a fine bibliography. Sabin advocates consistent study, practice and evolved learning. Gently admonishing her reader not to become a “one-book wonder,” Sabin has nearly voided her own advice with this important first effort that is perfect for novice Wiccans. (Apr.)

Review
“…first-rate, fresh, and thorough…written in a light, informative style that magically mines depth, breadth and brevity.” — Publishers Weekly

“Sabin offers a practical and cohesive look at the earth-centered religion of Wicca…Highly recommended.” — Library Journal

Product Description
Due to the sheer number of Wicca 101 books on the market, many newcomers to the Craft find themselves piecing together their Wiccan education by reading a chapter from one book, a few pages from another. Rather than depending on snippets of wisdom to build a new faith, Wicca for Beginners provides a solid foundation to Wicca without limiting the reader to one tradition or path.
Embracing both the spiritual and the practical, Wicca for Beginners is a primer on the philosophies, culture, and beliefs behind the religion, without losing the mystery that draws many students to want to learn. Detailing practices such as grounding, raising energy, visualization, and meditation, this book offers exercises for core techniques before launching into more complicated rituals and spellwork.

Finalist for the Coalition of Visionary Resources Award for Best Wiccan/Pagan Book

From the Publisher
First-time author Sabin offers a practical and cohesive look at the earth-centered religion of Wicca, offering crisp definitions of what the elements of Wicca practice are (energy, visualization, meditation) and, as important, what they are not (satanic worship, hex making, broom flying). Her explanations of the ethics, philosophy, tools, and types of Wicca reveal a religion that is created by its practitioners as a “path to self-empowerment” through the use of earth-based imagery, the study of deities, and the employment of elemental energies. Readers are treated to a nifty exploration of Wicca’s mystical aspects that ties together correspondences, discusses the various deities, dispels myths, and provides historical context for many Wiccan traditions. Sabin’s chapter on the eight sabbats (holidays timed with certain celestial points of the year) is especially informative. Another highlight and distinction from other beginner books is a detailed list of the various Wiccan sects and their unique practices. Highly recommended for all public libraries.–Library Journal

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
1 What’s Wicca? Recently my husband and I went to a coffee house to meet a man who was interested in becoming a student in our Wiccan study group. Like many Wiccans who lead teaching groups, we always arrange for our first meeting with a seeker-someone searching for his or her spiritual path-to be in a public place, for everyone’s safety and comfort. Over tea, we asked the seeker why he wanted Wiccan training. We ask everyone who talks to us about training this question. If they tell us they are looking for a nature-based religion, a path of self-empowerment, a way to commune with deity, or something along those lines, we continue the conversation. If they tell us they want to hex their ex-lovers, brew cauldrons full of toxic stuff, make others fall in love with them, worship the devil, or fly on broomsticks, we tell them they’re out of luck and politely suggest that they seek out a therapist. When we asked the question of this seeker, he told us about how he had searched for information about Wicca in books and on the Internet, attended public Wiccan rituals, and visited metaphysical bookstores, but there was so much information available on the topic that he wasn’t sure what was Wicca and what was not. He was also at a loss about how to separate the spiritual stuff from the rest. As he put it, I know there’s got to be a religion in there somewhere. He decided to find a teacher to help him sort it all out. It was easy to understand why he was confused. During the last several years, Wicca and magic have stormed the American pop culture scene. We’ve been watching Bewitched for quite a while, but Sabrina the Teenage Witch, the Harry Potter films, The Lord of the Rings, Charmed, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer have spurred a new wave of seekers, despite the fact that most of these shows and films have precious little to do with real Wicca. It’s gotten to the point where someone has coined the term Generation Hex for all of the teenagers and twenty-somethings who have been turned on to Wicca by the current magical media blitz. There are more Wicca books on the market than ever, and more than 6,000 Wicca-related Web sites on the Internet. There are Wiccan radio shows, Wiccan umbrella organizations, and state-certified Wiccan churches. And there’s even Secret Spells Barbie, complete with glittery costume, cauldron, and magic powder. Okay, technically she’s not Wiccan, but she definitely contributes to the confusion. With all of this sudden popularity, you’d think that Wicca and magic had finally made it into the mainstream. For better or worse, this isn’t true. The Wicca media glut has only given people more false, confusing, and contradictory ideas about what Wicca is. Although it’s probable that more people are familiar with the word Wicca than ever before, there is no cohesive, accurate image of Wiccans in pop culture. Thanks to films and prime-time television, Wiccans may have graduated from the green-faced hag with the pointy hat to sexy women with navel rings in scanty clothes who help others with their powers, but this is not a more accurate portrayal (there are plenty of male Wiccans, for one thing), and it’s not an improvement. Even Wiccans get confused about what Wicca is sometimes. In the Wiccan community there is a lot of discussion (okay, arguing) about what makes a Wiccan. I’m not going to jump into that fray here. Instead, I want this book to give you a broad-based understanding of Wicca so you can decide what the truth is for yourself. For the purpose of this book, here are some definitions:

A Wiccan is a person who is following the Wiccan religion/spiritual path and has either undergone a Wiccan initiation or has formally and ritually declared him- or herself Wiccan. Some Wiccans use the words Wiccan and witch interchangeably, but there are witches who do not consider themselves Wiccans. Wiccans are a subgroup of witches. Wiccans and witches are both subgroups of a larger group: pagans. Pagans are practitioners of earth-based religions. Most Wiccans and witches consider themselves pagan, but not all pagans are Wiccans or witches. Christians sometimes call anyone who is not a Christian, Muslim, or Jew a pagan, but we’re not going with that definition. In this book, when I use the term witchcraft, I’m referring to what Wiccans and witches do: religious ritual and spell work. I use the term Wicca to refer to the religion itself. So, just what is Wicca? There are a lot of answers to that question. Here are a few of the more widely accepted ones. Wicca Is a New Old Religion Wicca is a new religion that combines surviving folk traditions and more modern elements. It is loosely based on Western European pagan rites and rituals that have been performed for centuries-before, during, and after the time of Jesus-such as reverence of nature, observance of the cycle of the seasons, celebration of the harvest, and doing magic. Some of the structure of these old rites still survives in Wicca, but most of the religion’s structure and many of its practices are more modern. Some of the framework of the religion is culled from medieval grimoires (books of magic), occult organizations such as the Golden Dawn, and techniques that today’s Wiccans make up on the fly because they suit their purposes or the situation. Wicca is a living, evolving religion. Wicca isn’t the same thing as the kind of witchcraft you…

Paganism: An Introduction to Earth- Centered Religions
By River & Joyce Higginbotham
A comprehensive guide to a growing religious movement

If you want to study Paganism in more detail, this book is the place to start. Based on a course in Paganism that the authors have taught for more than a decade, it is full of exercises, meditations, and discussion questions for group or individual study.

This book presents the basic fundamentals of Paganism. It explores what Pagans are like; how the Pagan sacred year is arranged; what Pagans do in ritual; what magick is; and what Pagans believe about God, worship, human nature, and ethics.

•For those who are exploring their own spirituality, or who want a good book to give to non-Pagan family and friends
•A hands-on learning tool with magickal workings, meditations, discussion questions, and journal exercises •Offers in-depth discussion of ethics and magick
From Publishers Weekly
Most pagan primers jump right into the seasonal calendar, Celtic strands, pentagrams, spell casting and the like. True to form, this offers a judicious overview of the calendar and the general characteristics and essentials of Paganism as the Higginbothams see it interconnectedness and blessedness. To their credit, though, the authors have crafted a very different kind of book, one of great spiritual depth that could be of genuine and lasting service to anyone who is interested in sorting out the whats and whys of belief. Early on, they outline the “big tent” of Paganism that shelters a dozen or more passageways (Wicca, Druidism, Shamanism, Santer¡a, etc.), comparing it to Christianity and its popular denominations (Methodist, Roman Catholic, etc.). Throughout, they employ calm and rational prose that seeks not to proselytize as much as to aid discernment, making good on the authors’ claim that, “Whether or not you decide to be a Pagan once you finish [the book] is not as important as providing you with tools to help you identify your values and goals.” The seven chapters are nicely paced with illustrations, diagrams, visualization exercises, discussion points and journal prompts, all of which can be used by individuals or groups. The authors tackle the charge of Satanism head-on with success, but even more progressively (and clearly) they weave new discoveries in physics into the life fabric of belief and action. The final chapter explores ethics, and similar to the others, serves the broadest common good.

From Library Journal
The founders of both a pagan church and the Council for Alternative Spiritual Traditions, the Higginbothams here offer an overview of the belief systems comprising neopaganism. Included in the discussion are Wicca, Shamanism, Asatru, Celtic traditionalism, Druidism, Santeria, Voodoo, and other forms prevalent in paganism today. The authors proceed from central concepts of interconnectedness and blessedness, to a definition of neopaganism and a discussion of personal responsibility for one’s beliefs, to concepts of Deity, Satan, the living universe, “magick,” and ethics. The format is similar to that of many self-help books, with text, diagrams, discussion questions, and meditation exercises. This clear, rational, and sympathetic introduction to neopaganism for nonpagans will be helpful to all readers interested in exploring their spirituality. This first book by the Higginbothams complements existing introductions, such as Margot Adler’s Drawing Down the Moon and Graham Harvey’s Contemporary Paganism: Listening People, Speaking Earth, at least one of which libraries should already have. Recommended for public and undergraduate libraries and for religion collections. William P. Collins, Library of Congress

What is Paganism?
Paganism, also called neo-Paganism, is a new religious movement whose adherents are found throughout the world. Paganism is an umbrella term that describes a variety of denominations¿known to Pagans as traditions¿which for the most part organize themselves and operate without a centralized religious body or a standardized dogma. While variety of belief and practice is a source of pride for Pagans, it can sometimes be a source of confusion for others. In the pages that follow we present what we believe to be the fundamentals of Paganism. We explore such questions as why Paganism is called an earth-centered religion, how many Pagans there might be in the United States, what Pagans are like, how the Pagan sacred year is arranged, what Pagans do in ritual, what magick is, and what Pagans believe about God, worship, human nature, and ethics.
Over the years we have met thousands of Pagans throughout the United States. We have watched the Pagan movement grow from a fairly small, insular movement to one that may now number more than a million in the United States. We have spoken to numerous Pagans individually, participated in discussions and debates about the nature and future of the Pagan movement, and helped organize local and national Pagan events. For more than a decade we have explained and taught Paganism to many people in a variety of likely and unlikely places. We¿ve taught Sunday school at Christian churches, given the main address at Unitarian churches, attended interfaith councils, taught world religions classes, demonstrated Pagan ritual for Mensa, given retreats, spoken at festivals and conventions, and provided newspaper, radio, and TV interviews on the subject. For most of these years we¿ve also offered private class instruction in Paganism at beginning and intermediate levels. It is from this source of accumulated personal experience that we have collected and developed the concepts we present in this book. While elements of the topics covered here can be found in other books on Paganism, the beliefs we identify as fundamental to Paganism and how we interpret them are uniquely our own.
We have on occasion been asked to name the most important belief or concept of Paganism. This is difficult given the many traditions within the movement. However, if we could reduce Paganism down to its essentials, we believe its two most central concepts are interconnectedness and blessedness.
The belief that every part of the universe is profoundly interconnected shapes how Pagans view the nature of the Divine, the sorts of relationships possible with the Divine and the universe, and forms the Pagan approach to prayer and magick. Most Pagans believe that all parts of the universe, whether ¿animate¿ or ¿inanimate,¿ are connected at very deep levels that extend beyond the boundaries of space-time as we know them. Because of this interconnection, many Pagans believe they are able to interact with the universe and the Divine as co-creators. This concept is further explored in chapters 5 and 6.
The belief that every part of the universe is blessed in its nature, and that there is nothing wrong with the universe or with you, means that the purpose of Pagan spiritual practice differs from that of religions focusedon issues of purification and salvation. Paganism takes the position that human beings are unflawed in their natures, are not spiritually doomed or damned, are born with all the tools and skills necessary to live ethically and spiritually, and are naturally oriented toward their own greatest growth and development. No part of Pagan belief, practice, ritual, or sacrament is designed to ¿save¿ Pagans from a flawed or corrupt nature, or to avert supernatural punishment arising from such supposed flaws. Elements of this concept are developed throughout the book, particularly in chapter 7.
By contrast, most world religions today teach the opposite of one or both of Paganism¿s central themes. They teach that the elements of the universe are separate from each other and that there is something fundamentally wrong with all of us. They may teach separateness by asserting that the universe contains distinct bits of matter not connected at deeper levels, that each of us is irretrievably separated from others and the Divine by nature, or that the universe is split between what is spiritual (and therefore good) and what is physical (and therefore bad).
Most world religions also teach that human nature is flawed, and that there is something fundamentally wrong with all human beings that must be corrected in order to reach that religion¿s idea of salvation or enlightenment. This wrongness may be called original sin or ego or desire or free will or any other of a number of names, but the existence and overcoming of this inherent wrongness is the basis of the spiritual practices, sacraments, and ethics practiced by their members. In such religions, the wrongness frequently doesn¿t end with human beings but extends into the entire physical world so that we are seen to be surrounded by wrongness, to be spiritually unsafe, and are encouraged to feel that life is a very dangerous undertaking. The concepts of separateness and wrongness are so ingrained in each one us and in our culture that most of us are often not even aware they color our perceptions, life experience, and spiritual growth.
Paganism soundly rejects both of these concepts, and unequivocally affirms the interconnectedness of all parts of the universe and the inherent rightness or blessedness of the universe and human nature. Certainly Pagans believe that humanity can improve itself, but Pagans do not equate the human ability to make bad choices with a flawed nature.
Joyce and I believe that the concepts of interconnectedness and blessedness are what link together most of the divergent paths and traditions within Paganism. Yet they are not the only common threads Pagans share, as you shall see throughout this book. However, if…(Continues)

Excerpt of this book

Coventry Creations was started in 1992, on a budget of $100.00. It was on Jacki Smith’s kitchen stove that the original Blessed Herbal Candles were born.

Jacki had been studying Herbalism, Theology, Ancient Religions and New Age Philosophies when the idea of the Herbal Candles came about. She created the recipies, made the candles, and then gave them out as holiday gifts to her family and friends.

Personalizing each candle to the individual needs of her loved ones, Jacki created the first Blessed Herbal Candles; prosperity, family, love, meditation, etc. Immediatly she heard stories of the success of the candles and how everyone wanted more. Encouraged to offer them for sale, Jacki finished the original 18 recipies and Coventry was born.

Jacki chose the name Coventry for its meaning of a gathering place. It is her intention for the Coventry products to be a gathering of beliefs, traditions and philosphies that revolve around self-empowerment.

Since ‘92, Coventry has experienced steady growth through word of mouth and repeat business. The Blessed Herbal Candles have become the standard of blessing/spell/magical candles in the New Age Industry. Going from her basment of her Detroit home to several larger locations over the years, Jacki has been able to expand coventry to include other candle lines and accessories. Many evolutions of the Blessed Herbal candle have surfaces through other companies, solidifying the market for spiritual purpose candles.

Currently Coventry offers over 15 product lines and counting. As of January 2002, Coventry Products can be found in all 50 states and 5 countries. We have been featured on QVC and HSN cable channels, as well as creating dozens of private label products.

Jacki keeps the spiritual purposes and integrity of her products as the number one concern, always monitoring the next step in our spiritual evolution, and creating tools to ease the transition.
