CHILD CRAFT
Raising a child in the Pagan way can be a difficult thing in today's world.
This page is for the children and their parents who have chosen to walk
this path. Submissions of
ideas, advice, workings, experiences, etc. are always welcome.
And now, I'll turn this over to my son.
Kid's Altars
Hi, my name is Tristan
and I'm 6 years old. It's real easy to make an altar of your
own that you like so that your parents don't get mad at you for messing
with theirs. First find a special place that the cats can't
get to (they like to lay on ours) and that your parents say is ok
to use. Then put stuff that is special to you on it! That's
all it takes!
I started my altar
by putting all the stuff I liked best on my "special shelf" in the living
room. I always liked Ho-Tei (he's a Chinese god) so there's lots
of statues of him there. I also have lots of turtles 'cause I like
them too. I have my special rocks, a starfish I found and a silly
dragon my Aunt Patti made. I also have a really cool gold cup
I found at a thrift store. I call it my King Cup. Mom said
I couldn't burn incense myself, so I was always having to ask her to do
it until she found me a Ho-Tei aroma oil holder so now I can make it smell
good myself! Now I have so much stuff on my altar that I asked Mom
to build me a new shelf.
