spiritual discussionsThis is the place at AW for mamas to learn about all different religions and beliefs, to ask questions, to give answers- all done with respect! if you don't have anything nice to say here- don't say anything at all.
Im just wondering, what books would you recommend for someone who is interested in learning about Pagan living....All ive seen are way too hard for a simple mind like mine to understand lol....
Could you define what you personally mean by "Pagan living?" Are you interested in Paganish things to do with your kids, or just learning more about Paganism in general, or about it from a spiritual stand point of view?
Celebrating the Great Mother is a great book, as is Circle Round. Although both are geared towards activities to do with your children during the year, both books have overviews of the wheel of the year and some background, etc. I really got/get a lot out of both books, both for myself and my kiddos!

Bonnie, I'm glad I read this post! I have several spiritual book on celtic ritual and other goddess reads but I never have time to do the candle lighting medatiative ritual because I'm never alone anymore! It's wonderful to know that there is a book that teaches ritual that include the family.
The thing is, that paganism covers a vast range of beliefs so it depends on what you want to know. Ask 100 pagans to define their beliefs and you'll probably get at least 99 different answers.
Check out www.mystic-wicks.com and do some reading on the forums. That might help you whittle down what you're most interested in reading.
Also, books by Llewellyn are pretty inclusive, Sage Woman is a fantastic pagan magazine as is the Blessed Bee for families (same publisher).

I've been poking around in there and it seems to me like there are lots of yungins and definitely the men folk. I've read some pretty stupid threads in the "Just Talking" forum but! They have the "Circle Of Teaching" which you don't have to join you can just read as the "class" progresses. That's neat! But I definitely love Amity and Amity Mamas that much more after browsing other forums! MW has a market that I plan to spam in the fall though it doesn't seem to get much traffic. But whatever it's all fun to me!
MW does have a lot of goofiness, but there are also redeeming posts and people too. Pretty much like *most* communities. Wendy didn't say she wanted an accredited course in paganism, and MW is a large community of pretty much any belief system out there. I think it's a great place to start seeking your own answers.
thank you!
