Publisher's Synopsis
Many of us older folk were Changeling children, born into families that had no idea what to make of weird kids like us. Cuckoos hatching in a nest of robins. We identified much more with the Addams Family than with the Brady Bunch. Some families handled the challenge well, with love and patience. But far too many blew it badly, often including serious abuse.
This is a handbook for parents who find themselves with an "ugly duckling" child who just doesn't seem to fit in. "Old Souls"reincarnating with uncanny abilities, insights and attitudes, memories of former lives, nightmares of previous deaths... Oberon Zell and other members of the Grey Council wrote the "Grimoire for the Apprentice Wizard" specifically with the intention that it would be gifted to us on the 11th birthday of our next incarnation. And much later, Oberon and Kirsten Johnsen created the "Song of Gaea" as a child's bedtime story to be read to us next time around. For all the millions of modern Pagans alive today, eventually it will come our time to leave this life to begin a new one. As the fastest-growing religion in the Western world, we will comprise entire generations to come - on Earth and on other worlds. What advice and counsel do we want to tell our future parents to guide them in raising us? What do we wish we could have said to our parents in this life?
