Circle Round: Raising Children in Goddess Tradition
Circle Round presents the Goddess tradition in eight holidays spanning the year and in rites of passage for life transitions. Each celebration is easily adaptable to any family or faith, giving parents a way to teach spirituality and establish customs that can be passed down through generations. The book offers new ways to foster a strong sense of familial closeness, whether a family is headed by a single parent, step-parents, same-sex parents, or a loving community of friends. Crafted with a parent’s limited free time in mind, Circle Round, with an eye to ecology and nature, uses music, crafts, recipes and read-aloud stories that can help families celebrate life.
At a time when childrearing is intensely affected by the stresses of modern life, Circle Round offers parents and children an innovative way to remain connected to themselves and to one another while adding a piece of Goddess tradition to every home.
