Child's Altar

By: DragonFire
Posted: July 29th/99

This is a great way to let your child express him/herself and learn about the Craft. For safety's sake I strongly discourage candles and sharp objects. Begin with simple things- feathers, crystals, awand, any special God(ess) figurines, etc. It's also an excellent spot for any special gifts your child finds on walks through Gaia's paradise.

Let your child(ren) decorate the altar for special occasions such as the Sabbats. Make sure your child(ren) also help with decorating and upkeeping your family's main altar. The Goddess loves children and their laughter.

Teach your child(ren) simple prayers (devotions) that they can say in front of their altar before bed and upon waking such as:

BEDTIME PRAYER
Gentle Goddess and peaceful God
Thankyou for helping me today
Watch over me as I sleep
And send your love my way
Keep me safe through the night
So I may rest peacefully
And be ready to learn and play tomorrow.
Blessed Be.

MORNING PRAYER
Goddess and God I greet you this morning
Fill me with your wisdom, love and laughter
So that I may learn and grow in your way.
Blessed Be!
