Rating: Summary: I have bought seven copies so far, and I need to get another Review: The first time I read this book was the Spring of 1994. This book helped me answer MANY tough questions from my children, especially my daughter. I read this book for the first time only two or three months after I embraced my Pagan/Wiccan Path. We were in Germany at the time, and when it was time to move to the states, we chose Tucson Arizona, because of this book. I was able to make contact with the Tucson Area Wiccan Network (soon there after to become the Tucson Area Wiccan & Pagan Network) within 7 days of us arriving in Tucson, because of this book.The reason I have bought so many copies so far ... this is a wonderful gift for anyone who deals with children, or even someone who wants to incorporate some "fun" back into their Spiritual Path, no matter the Path.
Rating: Summary: Simply Common Sense Review: This is a decent enough book, but I found that it wasn't very helpful to me - a person who has been walking the pagan path for a long time or has experience with children does not really need The Family Wicca Book. Everything in it is simply plain common sense that most people can work out for themselves. The answers to the tough questions weren't really that innovative, just practical thinking - and others might answer some of those questions differently. Having said that, I also think this is a good book for parents who have no prior experience with children, or who have just come to Wicca. If you are in this group, I do recommend that you buy the book - it can give you some solid advice, and perhaps offer a springboard from which you can develop your own ideas.
