I have a 13 year old who is very interested in spirituality. When very young he was keen on stories from the Bible, and proclaimed himself a believer in God. That waned over time and today he has stars he can see from bed that he prays to. Each star represents a particular trait - courage, calm, focus and so on.
I have been working with the SOP as laid out in your Druidry books for 3 years now. I am moving slowly through the DMH and am about to begin on awakening the two currents.
My question: I have put together a stripped down practice that I want to introduce to my 13 year old. Do you think it appropriate?
1. Ritual - elemental cross and circulation of light. Will leave the calling of the elements out at this stage 2. Meditation - 1-2 mins of breathing, 5 mins of meditation. Choose a theme for meditation from the previous divination. 3. Divination - 1 card draw from a simple oracle (maybe one of the popular card decks that appeal to him). Reflect on the card and how it relates to his life and use it for meditation in next session 4. Natural magic - simple workings using stones and herbs. Use Moon timing with elemental workings.
