You can hear some of our previous episodes on raising a magical family here:

• Episode 9 – Relationships and Witchcraft
• Episode 54- Raising a Magical Family
• Episode 112 – A Witch in the Family

You should definitely check out the Betwixt and Between podcast, which is pretty phenomenal! You may also want to check out our show, Episode 86 – Local Witchcraft with Chris Orapello, which also covered some of the areas of bioregionalism and local animism we briefly discussed here. Sarah Lawless has also done a wonderful post on bioregional animism called “The Song of the Land.”

Cory mentions using the works of Neil Gaiman and Roald Dahl as a way to introduce children to a magical worldview, and Betwixt and Between mention Laine’s favorite, The Secret Garden. Cory also briefly mentions Laura Tempest Zakroff’s forthcoming book Weave the Liminal.
