Sinossi

Witchcraft Today, Book Two: Rites of Passage is about how people following a Pagan lifestyle are able to deal with current problems through the help of ritual and wisdom.

This book is about ritual, the glue that binds Pagan culture. Many teachers of Witchcraft focus on young (usually single) adults. This collection of writings takes a wider view with the long-term goal of presenting a living Pagan culture. If modern Pagan traditions are to persist and have any effect on the world community in an overt way, they must encompass people of all ages.Witchcraft Today . . . Modern Rites of Passage deals with just these issues. It is organized according some of life's significant markers: birth, puberty, adulthood, partnership, parenthood. Articles include:

·Childbirth and Wiccaning
·Raising a Pagan child
·Between the Worlds: late adolescence and early adulthood in modern Paganism
·Working with an under-aged seeker
·Reflections on conversion to Wicca
·Initiation by Ordeal: military service as a passage into adulthood
·Handfasting: marriage and the modern pagan
·Puberty rites for adult women
·Pagan approaches to illness, grief and loss
·Witches after forty
·Pagan rites of dying

Collected and edited by Chas. S. Clifton, Witchcraft Today . . . Modern Rites of Passagefeatures some powerful writers from the pagan community, including Patricia Telesco, Anodea Judith, Oz, Grey Cat, Judy Harrow, and others.
