Reviewing ‘Pagan Parenting in the NICU’

Last updated on: January 7, 2013 at 10:04 pm   By Niki Whiting

Janet Callahan has written a short pamphlet with advice for Pagan parents dealing with a NICU experience. It’s a brief 22 pages, written more like a blog post than a literary book.

Magickal naming

Last updated on: December 30, 2012 at 7:08 pm   By Guest Contributor

You need only look at countless fairy tales, myths and legends of creatures who would not permit mere mortals to know their true names to know this belief has endured for centuries. In those stories, if a mortal learned the creature's name, they also gained power over that creature. The power of a name was considered as much a downfall, as it was a boon. Read more
