Sunday afternoon I was playing with my new dehydrator, cutting apples for apple chips. I’ve already said, both on this blog and with Hubby, that I plan on using apples as a main teaching device for our Witchlet.
Sunday, after I cut an apple in half horizontally, I smiled to hubby and said “look, Magick apple stars”. He smiled back, saying that name is adorable. We talked about our Witchlet and how we don’t want to put them in any kind of awkward position with what to mention and what not to mention at too young of an age. I don’t want my kids to get bullied or picked on by saying something personal to the wrong person. So, Hubby and I decided that we will teach Witchlet about Magick apple stars. It’s something beautiful found nature, and should s/he say anything, what’s a bully’s response? It’s a natural element!
Good idea! We moved north for other reasons before the youngling came along, but I can’t imagine trying to raise a young one in the buckle of the evangelical belt. I applaud your courage
Thank you
the area we’re in is progressive for the South, but there are bigots everywhere and I want Baby Girl to be safe and to have a full spiritual life
It’s sad we have to protect them that way, but bigotry is a reality to be dealt with, unfortunately. Baby Girl is lucky to have a wise and protective mama
