What can I do to teach my kids the Wiccan religin?

I highly recommend reading books by Scott Cunningham. When my daughter wanted to get involved with Wicca, that's what I did. His books are very good! Be careful with websites, and remember that there is a lot of false information out there. ~Ginger~

Hmm, if you have a coven/study group/cult o.O/etc which you goto, check with the leaders if they are ok with you bring your daughter along for a gathering (unless you guys are doing skyclad rituals... she might be a little too young to get exposed to a few things...). If you're solitary, let her join you in your next sabbat (I did get that right, right?) celebration. It always helps to get them to join in and experience the magic for themselves :)

I would just start with the very basics of "Earth Living" and then gradually get into specifics of Wicca....thats what I did with my kids when it came to sharing my beliefs with them...I started off with the basics of Buddhism and the old ways (Witchcraft)so to speak of Earth living and then left the door open for questions which naturally, being kids, there where many questions to be had at any given moment LOL....

I would just start with a couple good books, the Scott Cunningham books recommended already may be a good start. I also like- oh of course I can't recall the authors now. There is a wife & husband team (I think the wife writes & the husband illustrates) with a few great books, one is called "Wheel of the Year". I'll come back if I can track down the name of the authors. I like those particular books for their simplicity & nature based approach. Find answers together as they come up. And don't worry about how much you don't know now, it is a life-long learning process.

The only thing I can suggest is to teach her and pass along what you are learning...A lot have people have recommended books by Scott Cunningham, but since you're daughter is only eight they might be too "heavy" for her I was just doing a quick search...Amazon.com has a book called Raising Witches: Teaching the Wiccan Faith to Children (Paperback) by Ashleen O'Gaea another over there is Family Wicca: Practical Paganism for Parents And Children (Paperback) by Ashleen O'Gaea and Celebrating the Great Mother: A Handbook of Earth-Honoring Activities for Parents and Children (Paperback) by Cait Johnson uh---put it this way..Amazon.com has a whole bunch of books!! Hope this helps

First i suggest you make sure that is what she wants and not you just pushing your believe on her. After you have made certain of that, you can let her be present at some of the rituals you do. Let her watch and maybe "help" a little. If you let her give you the pace at which she learns it will be easier. For example encourage her to ask you questions. Teach her about nature. Explain her the basics. Kids love celebrations, how about allowing her to get involved with some of the Sabbath or Esbath preps. What child doesn't love Halloween. How about teaching her about the real meaning of Samhain. Oh, don't worry about you still learning hun. You will keep learning until the day you die if you are lucky. That is the Wonderful thing. Your mind is open and you are a sponge. Balanced Blessings Hun.

i would just answer any questions as and when they arise, as they surely will. My two are already questioning me daily and will take what they need from my answers blessed be

i teach my son,about the moon about stones. i teach him to get his anger into a stone,and then just throw it away i tell him that everything is energy you,animals,plants,stones the table,everything

I am not wiccan but I would say the best way to teach her would be to model it for her. Have her sit there and show her how to cast a circle, set up an altar, consecrate water or whatever. I am sure there are some books out there that are written in really simple language. That might help. (kinda like "Wicca for Dummies" or something to that nature)

well magikrose i think you should start on the meditations and tarot reading on her. but i do not know if you think she is too young or not but it is worth a try.

Here in Denver, we have Open Full Moons--open rituals to help expose people to wiccan ritual. Perhaps your area has something similiar.
