Good Overall Guide
This is a new and revised edition of the very popular book by this author. I even had a friend comment to me that she had seen this new version and wanted to know if I had read it.

Well, I did. While containing much of the older and basic material, there is much new.

The book approaches whole family practice, and the raising of a child in our belief system. It discusses social, magical, political topics and more, giving us a grounding in our own basic principles so we can easily pass these along to our children.

There is a basic outline of modern Wicca and the family, Sabbats, specifics to raising children in the Craft, answering those questions that you didn't think you could answer, rites of passage, Wheel of the year and more.

The first book was a very good and useful tool for the Wiccan family. This updated version still finds practical advices, good overviews of the practice and Ms. Ogaea's simple yet elegant writing style that makes this a good choice for anyone looking for a guidebook for bringing Wicca into a family practice. boudica
