Edain McCoy's "Inside A Witches' Coven"
As a student of the magickal and shamanic arts, I found this booke very helpful. This booke is a must for those who aren't sure about whether or not to join a coven. It discusses some of the ups and downs of working with a group conciousness. Easy to understand, and well-organized.
An enlightening guide to coven dynamics.
Edain McCoy sheds light on how covens actually function, including the different kinds of covens, group dynamics, what to look for and what to avoid when choosing or creating your own coven. She includes a helpful list of questions to ask yourself and potential coven members. With compassion, wit and humor she describes some of the events she has witnessed as a member of different covens over the years, and how to make your coven experience an enlightening one.
i have skimmed this book while at a bookstore, and it looks like a really good one. i would buy it if i had more money!
Gather the kiddies....
There aren't many books designed with the entire Pagan family in mind. However, of those out there..this is the best! The rituals are absolutely beautiful and they allow the children to take a big part in them (and have fun)! I highly recommend this book for all families with at least one person following a Pagan path!
A must buy
This is probably the best book on this subject I have yet read. Based on the author's personal experiences, it provides a clear, practical guide for teaching the Old Ways to children in a modern setting. A must buy!
