This book provides a system of learning Pagan and good living concepts just for children and young adults through three main degrees. Children from the ages of 5 -- 18 can work on obtaining the Neophyte, Apprentice, and Mage Degrees by meeting specific goals designed for children and by completing the requirements for earning Achievement Awards. The Neophyte Degree is subdivided into several Levels to help give young children small and easily obtainable goals. Provided with each Degree and Award is a great deal of information and sources for learning and for exploring.
This is a workbook designed to be used with my book Pagan Degrees for Children which describes a method of teaching Pagan concepts to children and youth along with teaching ideas about living in community, caring for yourself and others, and respecting all things. The book describes a system of three degrees obtained mostly by doing a number of activities and earning what are called Achievement Awards.
These stories are designed to be entertaining and fun while also helping children learn basic Pagan concepts about the unity and sacredness of life; the meanings of the Solstices, Equinoxes, and Cross-Quarter days; and how to live together in a diverse and peaceful community.

For most of its history, contemporary Paganism has been a religion of converts. Yet as it enters its fifth decade, it is incorporating growing numbers of second‑generation Pagans for whom Paganism is a family tradition, not a religious worldview arrived at via a spiritual quest. In Pagan Family Values, S. Zohreh Kermani explores the ways in which North American Pagan families pass on their beliefs to their children, and how the effort to socialize children influences this new religious movement. The first ethnographic study of the everyday lives of contemporary Pagan families, this volume brings their experiences into conversation with contemporary issues in American religion. Through formal interviews with Pagan families, participant observation at various pagan events, and data collected via online surveys, Kermani traces the ways in which Pagan parents transmit their religious values to their children. Rather than seeking to pass along specific religious beliefs, Pagan parents tend to seek to instill values, such as religious tolerance and spiritual independence, that will remain with their children throughout their lives, regardless of these children's ultimate religious identifications. Pagan parents tend to construct an idealized, magical childhood for their children that mirrors their ideal childhoods. The socialization of children thus becomes a means by which adults construct and make meaningful their own identities as Pagans. Kermani’s meticulous fieldwork and clear, engaging writing provide an illuminating look at parenting and religious expression in Pagan households and at how new religions pass on their beliefs to a new generation.

Living authentically allows you to become connected to the natural energies of the universe and to peer into your true nature. Within this book you will discover the three parts of the personality: the Basic Type, the Personality Layers, and the Inner Narrative. Each one is part of the total picture of the self. Your Basic type is the canvas upon which the painting is created. Your Layers are the many colors added to the work and your Inner Narrative is the story that the art work depicts. Together they make up the beautiful and unique work of art that is you.
