Description

Raising Witches offers a curriculum for each of the five age groups and a variety of sample lessons with a structure and prototype for readers who want to develop "Sun Day School" or "Moon School" classes. There is also the material you would expect - Raising Witches includes charms, spells, songs and guided meditations in addition to practical ideas for educational activities. It includes a glossary and a recommended reading list as well. Featuring detailed discussions of how children grow and learn so that Wiccan parents can teach their Tradition effectively, Raising Witches finally gives parents the means to communicate the rudiments of their faith to their children. Pagans following other alternative traditions will find it easy to translate Raising Witches into Raising Asatruar or Raising Druids too. Wiccan parents who have wished to raise their children in the Craft but have hesitated because they lacked guidance will find this book to be of immense value.
