The Craft Cauldron

In this shady nook you find snippets of yarn, bits and pieces of household objects, a pencil stub and bits of colored paper, sure indications that children have been at play. Take a look around and make some notes; you just might have fun, too!

One thing about Pagans - We like to eat!  And if you like to eat, you usually wind up enjoying cooking, too. Here's some great recipes we've found and wanted to share:

Parents of most faiths have stories and traditions that have been handed down from generation to generation and these classical tales make it easier to explain their beliefs to their children.  Unfortunately many Pagan parents have not had the benefit of this "passing of the torch" as few of us were raised in Pagan families ourselves, instead discovering this path later in life.  Where then do we find the stories to help us teach our children about our beliefs?

This section is dedicated to that end, in hopes that other Pagan parents find it helpful.  Please note that many of the pages linked here were created from items posted in mailing lists and public forums, and wherever known the authors have been credited.  If you are the author of something I have posted here, please let me know so I can properly credit the source.

"Hey, what happened to my link?"
The external links on this page were individually checked 11/24/01 and were all working at that time. Any link which resulted in an "error 404" or "document contained no data" message after two tries was deleted, along with one particularly sleazy site by someone who changed a previously working parenting page to a blatently commercial, pop-up ad generating site full of crap that nobody would probably want to visit anyway.
I think people like that suck. - Oak
