Wiccacraft for Families

Rating:
Summary: good supplemental resource
Review: This is a good book to have in supplement to "Circle Round" by Starhawk. Although it doesn't have nearly as much information, it does have one thing Circle Round doesn't: the rituals themselves. The seasonal rituals are actually family plays- a very creative way to celebrate a holiday. There are also songs, fun crafts, and recipes for each holiday. This book also goes into detail with life passage rituals. Even Pagan families who are not Wiccan may find this title helpful.

Summary: Fantasic!
Review: This was one of the first books I bought for our family library. I found it very helpful. I love the traditional recipies and the music in it.I also enjoyed the rituals. They were great for our first year of celebrating and now we borrow a bit form them and add our own bits to make them ours. I think this is better to use with older children than with toddlers or preschoolers but a must have!

Summary: The best book yet!
Review: We have many different Pagan parenting books in our library and we appreciate them all, but we have found Wiccacraft for Families to be our favorite. We turn to this one more often than we do any other. Wiccacraft for Families is like a family Book of Shadows. Within it's pages are recipes, rituals, activities, and crafts for the Sabbats, Moons, and Rites of Passages. Although we have Circle Round by Starhawk in our library and use it often for ideas, we find this one fits our path better especially for ritual and such.
Our family recommends this book as an addition to a Pagan family library.

Summary: Excellent Pagan Parent Resource
Review: WiccaCraft for Families is one of the few books I refer to often for pagan friendly parenting and family ritual ideas. The book has rituals, foods, music, crafts & activities broken down into the eight sabbats for quick reference to seasonal holidays.
Ms. McArthur also provides informative chapters on various Rites of Passage: Women's Mysteries, Men's Mysteries, Youth Passages, Handfastings, Age, and Death rituals and observances.
All in all a great book for a pagan parents' library.

Summary: Another good book to take home
Review: Yet not as good as "Circle Round" but a great and wonderful put together book. The crafts, songs, and the folk lore that follows the wheel of the year are very well put together. I think the author could have put more into the book, but, other than that, thats the only bad part about it, but, i do have to say that this book should be right next to "Circle Round". Highly recommended
