Long before Harry Potter and friends went to Hogwarts, kids have been curious about magic. Children of all ages have always wanted to know what is the real story behind "The Craft," "Charmed," halloween - and do spells really work? But unlike the library at Hogwarts, there are not many text books on the subject, at least not for kids. Here at last is the primer 12 - 16 year olds have been waiting for. In "To Be a Young Witch" Suisaidh Ceandach presents the pagan paths, druidry and wicca in an introductory manner, for the serious student interested in learning the path of the wise-craft. The text is interspersed with short stories to further illustrate the pagan wheel of the year and natural magic in today's daily life and yes, there is also guidance to spells and ritual.
