It is important to honor each stage with some form of celebration. In the Hunter stage, it is important to not just teach your child how to handle puberty but to honor this next stage. His "first coming of age" — is something sacred. You can choose to make it a family affair and invite the male members of your family. You can also invite several of his friends who've recently gone through puberty. Celebrate the Hunter within Me Ritual It is best to hold the ritual some place that is is private and has a table. This table will be your altar space. Decorate it with all your hunter's favorite colors, objects, and candles. Have all the women gather around her holding hands. If alone open your hands out to welcome the supportive energy from the God. Allow this time to reflect on what this new awakening means to you. Once you feel you have reflected then it is time to write down any fears you have about this upcoming stage. The other strong men around you can share thier fears they had when they first got thier period. This can allow some comfort to the hunter. Allow some time to reflect on those fears then it is time to burn it. Once the paper is fully burned it is time to discuss all the great things that come with this stage. You are a hunter, you are now ready to explore this great world. Encourage him to reflect and write about these thoughts after the ritual. “I met a boy whose eyes showed me that the past, present and future were all the same thing.”

As a mom of three boys who go to public school I started to notice that some things were not being taught in detail so I decided to create lessons for them. Many of these lessons cover science, history and of information about Paganism. I share crafts for the all different holidays and cultures as ways that they can learn and have fun at the same time.
