review 1: This book is awesome. You can see where Kris has taken the time to really think about how busy a mom's life can be. I've been a Pagan since I was about 11 years old. I want to pass this on to my kids. This book has lots of little ways to get kids involved in the Sabbaths and they aren't hard to do.I love how Kris breaks down so it isn't overly complex, and goes as far as making sure that a Pagan can have even a quick small ritual- totally understanding that sometimes the only thing you have is 5 minutes.I can't wait to make some of the oils and washes.This is a great read for busy witches with households that don't have a huge income or a lot of time. I hope that Kris writes more books like this.
review 2: This book gets five BIG dragons!!!!I’ll admit. I’d
... morestepped away from Wicca for awhile. It wasn’t because it was a bad experience, but because I needed to become a better person before coming back into it. Sounds odd. I know. Wicca truly helps you deal with that. It really does, just like any religion, but I had a WHOLE LOT of ugly in me.I have tons and tons and TONS of books on Wicca and spells and Wiccan crafts and being a solitary witch, and…well, the list goes on and on. I decided this year that I needed to get back into it. I’d made a LOT of improvements on my Who-ness.But the books I have and the ones I picked up just felt…off. Maybe it was the fact that I’d been away from it for so long, or the fact that…well, a lot of CRAP really has happened in the past seven years. When I decided to pick the Craft back up, I didn’t realize I’d struggle with it so much.I needed something for the everyday and I needed something to help me fill this hole in my soul. I’m a solitary witch because I’m afraid to let others close to me in this arena. Reading this book was like dishing about magick, and the everyday things with a friend.Now, don’t get me wrong. There’s information that I breezed right over, stuff that I’ve gone over and over, or things that just don’t interest me.But! There were things in here that I’ve been going over since the days I started practicing…oh, shoot, a looooong time ago, that brought new life into old practices! It’s because, I think, Mrs. B didn’t write this book with an attitude of, “I’m a big Wiccan So and So, and I must share my wealth of knowledge.” She wrote it with an attitude of, “Well, guys, this is just what I do. I think it’s neat. What do you think?” After reading her book, I just wanted to share her kitchen and putter around.You’re not really going to find things in this book that aren’t practical. The only spices or ingredients you’ll find in here are things you’ll already have in your pantry! There’s even an on-the-go kit she shares with us using pumpkin pie spice. Do you think I’ll try that? Heck yeah! You know why? Because I already HAVE the pumpkin pie spice…right here…in my kitchen.Another thing that I loved about this book is that she has practices for the solitary witch and for those practicing in small groups. A lot of books that I have are either for large groups, or for solitary witches, but rarely do I find both.Overall, I just love this book. It’s by far my favorite on my already overwhelmed magick bookcase. And? This one’s going to be used. *chuckles* You know what I mean. There are all these books filled with great things and ideas, and after reading through them once, they go back on the shelves never to resurface again. Not this one! I think it’s going to be awhile before it ends up on my shelf. For now, it’s going in my kitchen. Where I can use it everyday. less
