I think we will make these. I saw a lot of cattail reeds on one of the nature hikes. How fun would it be to go out, harvest the cattails and use them for this. In fact the next meet up for a hike is sunday, Which is Imbloc. So we could gather the cattails and make the crosses in the park. I mean i wont pressure any OTHER parents to do it. But its reed bending so its fun. The other kids may have fun with it. Even if it dosent have meaning for them.

Another thing it suggests is planing steeds. Perhaps we will get some paper cups and soil and make ourselves some herb starts! That would be great actually. We could have a container herb garden and start our seeds this weekend.

Maybe we will do some house plants. my mom who has a green thumb, says she cant keep them alive here. But im willing to try :) Maybe just a few house plants and greenery!

I do not.. push this faith on the kids. I tell them tiny bits about it as we do crafts that often times date back historically hundreds of years. I am considering taking them to some pagan festivals this summer. There is a much larger community here. I think its good to learn multiple religions and choose what fits in your soul… What resonates with you. Ive done my bit and found where I fit. I hope the same for them. No matter what it is.
