Our local group of CUUPS (Covenant of Unitarian Universalist Pagans) got a letter in the mail from an inmate at our regional detention centers. He is interested in Wicca (Paganism, etc). The Chaplain asked us if we were interested in a Prison Outreach program, to help others start their own worship. To see what they need for rituals and such. We accepted.
Two of us in the group and the UU's Reverend decided to go down and meet the Chaplain. This is something very new to me and would love some thoughts on the subject if anyone is reading this. Right now this is very fresh in our minds. We're planning on donating a few books for the further education on the subject for the man who wants the information as well as perhaps for those who are also interested there. Bonewits has been thrown out there as a definite author we want shown. As to other authors, we haven't made as much an decision on it yet.
Ideas? Thoughts?

Good luck. Many of the books I own are very slanted to the feminine side so probably not appropriate as an introduction.
ReplyDeleteI did find a fairly academic book called "Paganism, an Introduction to Earth Centered Religions" by Higginbotham, which is a good read and covers a lot of topics.
Yeah, we are trying for something for men's spirituality I suppose. We decided to get "Self-Initiation for the Solitary Witch", "Spiral Dance", and of course "The Pagan Man."
ReplyDeleteThanks for the thoughts and suggestion. I haven't read it before. Perhaps I have another thing on my reading list now. :) Peace be. :D
