My First Book of Magic

If you have a child in your life that has the look of the far memory in their eyes, gift them with this guide. If you remember the child you were, read this book and reopen the gates of your wonder." - Ivo Dominguez Jr., author of 'Keys to Perception'.

Books are 'people' in a different form. I have had to separate books that did not want to be next to each other. They kept throwing themselves off the shelves. Some books come into our lives and stay forever, others just 'pass' through and leave snippits of themselves in our heads.

Books for young people are very important as they provide information about things like 'what we believe in'. Most traditions and religions have books explaining their gods, ceremonies, celebrations and special days. But there are very few for those regarded as pagans. But ours is one of the oldest if not the oldest belief system in the world.

So I wrote this book for you, whoever is reading it. I wanted to tell you how the Pagan Way works, what it does, and how it makes you feel. I want you to know about the Special Days, about the other invisable life forms that share the world with us. I want you to know the joy this oldest of all traditions can bring you. The way of sharing it with humans, elementals, sprites, animals, plants, trees, and of course other pagans.

As a pagan you are part of a way of life that began millions of years ago. We have survived that long, and you, little witchlet, boy or girl, need to claim your inheritance. Blessed Be. - Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki
