"Sandstorm evacuations? Sure thing, boss," Jak said with a cocky grin.

"Sure thing, boss!" Mar copied him, even mimicking his playful salute.

"No!" Daxter yelped, "NOT a "sure thing"! You can't take me out there, Jak! I'll call the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ottsels!"

"The what?"

"I'LL TELL TESS ON YOU!"

Circle Round: raising children in Goddess traditions, by Starhawk, Diane Baker, Anne Hill

If you are curious, no, I haven't read the other, more famous Starhawk book yet. It's on my shelf. I am putting it off because the library is yelling at me to give this one back much more urgently 😅

I have read many "how to witchcraft" books, and a few "how to witchcraft (with kids)!" books as well, but this book is a gentle, loving book on how to raise your children in magically rich household, the reading experience made even richer by having multiple contributors to provide crafts, songs, rituals, and grounding for a world that isn't exactly built around Neopagan sensibilities. There are several stances the book takes right off the bat, all which I was very grateful to see:

1) Do not force your kid into anything. Force is counter productive to your endgoal: having a happy, loved family where children feel comfortable with your craft and their place in it. If you would like your child to be interested in participating, leave them as many invites and openings as there are rituals taking place, or encourage them to make something that will be part of the ritual at another point. You can do this without trying to strongarm them into it.

Yes. Absolutely. This is a great point to make up front. Especially when children can be embarrassed that their parents believe in magic, or are part of a coven that partakes in rituals. 2) Cultural appropriation is not tolerated. However. If you only expose your children to European stories, mythologies, and traditions, they are only going to see the world through a lens of eurocentrism. Diversity in materials is the key to a well-rounded view— in life, in magic, everywhere.

When I got to this part of the book, I about stood up in my chair at work. Yes. We can appreciate, value, and learn from multiple cultures by engaging with them respectfully. It is important to be exposed to as much as possible in life, lest we become too used to only one perspective. I use the same philosophies towards diversity and global representation as I work to stock the kids' section at our library. 

I loved that the book had songs (and sheet music!) in it; I loved how the book was only as feminine as you would like to engage with, even as it centers in a Goddess tradition; I loved the crafts, the recipes, and the realistic day-to-day tips, all aimed at a level where younger children could engage with the material without missing out; I loved how the collaborators rounded each other out as they went, so there was hardly a section that felt too heavy with one person and ignored the others, and everyone contributed something different to the book.

As a kids librarian, reading this book smacked me in the face with the realization that kid rituals are largely just Goddess-themed storytime sessions. If you're a children's educator in any capacity at all, ever, and the chance to read this book comes up, take it, if only for the weird feelings blending your day job with theology! 🤣

If you're very sensitive to something that "feels Wiccan", well, this does smack of it, but if your actual problem is with cultural appropriation, misogyny/misandry, transphobia, or homophobia, I am happy to say that, on my first reading, none of the issues people tend to cite as their problem with Wicca made an overt appearance. That being said, I was reading this book at a desk with many distractions. 

I liked this book, I appreciate this book in its role and its content, and now that it's returned to the library, I'll likely try to purchase myself a copy. 

Blessings!

Im not sure if this has been asked yet, but how would each RO react to receiving a spicy picture/text from MC while they’re working?

Matt would be pretty receptive to it. It would probably wake him up from the monotony of his job but he wouldn't reply too quickly; he doesn't want to actually get fired.

Eve wouldn't be comfortable receiving something like that while at work. She'd ask you to refrain in future, especially with pictures.

Alex would have to sneak off and reply in kind, it's their way and they do quite like sending a little spicy picture of themself. They're not shy in that way.

Jordan wouldn't be comfortable with it. They'd ask you to respect their boundaries and to not send them these kinds of things to them without asking.

Char would briefly look at it, play it off so well and then tell you that he can't look at this kind of stuff in the day but you'd be welcome to show them in person.

Bo-yeon would reply quickly telling you not to message this to xem while xe's at work. It's not appropriate and xe works hard to look as professional as xe can. That being said, xe wouldn't be unhappy to receive messages like that in other circumstances.

and even more revalink hcs from this post part 6

previous hc part 5 x i'm too lazy to tag the other ones, just go through this one 😭 i haven't done one of these in a bit so i'm doing this for funsies 😹

who's the primary protector of the two?

hard to say, since they're both warriors with protective instincts, and link had to have learned some survival skills & instincts in botw

neither of them ever rest really, constantly on their guard because they're not letting anyone get the slip on them

i imagine that maybe they bicker over who gets to protect the other, always insisting that they'll be the one to save the other 😹

who sleeps in and who is the early bird?

i think we should know by now where i stand on this 😹

i am the self-proclaimed #1 sleepy link x coddler revali enthusiast. you know damn well i am tucking that blond twunk into a soft comfy bed (the bed being revali)

who is the least patient?

hard to pin down as a generalization, because it's circumstantial between the two of them imo

like we all know link would stare into a campfire all night just to be able to hunt the best game at the exact crack of dawn

but revali is very thoughtful and methodical to me. i just reviewed his diary and the cb memory, and it's clear that his dedication to the craft warrants a lot of strategy, perseverance, and patience. he can be incredibly patient for the things that matter most to him

(i also really like the idea that revali would be very patient with fledglings 🥺 gordon ramsey type beat)

that being said, both revali and link will have a breakdown trying to assemble a single chair from ikea. they insist that the furniture is cursed but zelda assembles it in less than five minutes

which of the two listens to old music and which one is more into the newer stuff?

to me, revali seems like he would enjoy classical music, and classic pop & rock in general. anything before the 2000's, revali can get into

projecting a portion of my own music taste onto revali, he fucks with songs like 'stitches and burns' by fra lippo lippi, 'i melt with you' by modern english, and 'true' by spandau ballet. i will not be taking any criticism at this time 🙏

meanwhile link's playlist is jumping from 'good lookin'' dixon dallas to 'planet of the bass' to 'ETA' newjeans. and he finds all of it unironically genius

who's the first one to quit a new hobby because they're not great at it on the first try?

my instinct was to say revali, but the thing is, revali holds a great insecurity in wanting to be the best, and it's difficult to do that when you're dating Mr. Link Master-At-Everything-He-Tries over here

so if he's not automatically good at it but link is, you better bet your entire ass that revali is learning that shit out of spite to be better or at least just as good at it as link is

bitches can't even have like a couple hobby, everything turns into a competition if it's revali and link ✋😭

who holds a grudge the longest?

revali of course

a while ago, i made a post about how i hc'd revali to be a capricorn sun virgo rising, and i kinda still stand by that. he'll take anything to be a personal slight against him, will block you on everything, and talk shit about you to anyone. petty ahh mf

link just doesn't seem like the type to hold grudges, he's kinda goldfish brain. he'll forget he was even mad at you 15 minutes later

who secretly knows all the lyrics to the other's favorite songs but refuses to expose themselves?

revali actually 🥺

link soaks up melodies and lyrics like a sponge, so he has no problem picking any one of revali's playlists and knowing every single song on there, he will sing his heart out to each song on that damned playlist

revali is a bit of a music snob and isn't always the biggest fan of link's taste in music (as per #4 in this list LOL)

but he tries really hard to memorize link's favorites even if he fucking hates the song, which results in revali practicing korean just to be able to sing fucking 'gangnam style' psy with link 😭

who's more likely to cry about a plant dying?

link hands down. this guy gets overly attached to inanimate objects fr

bro is the type to bump into the corner of a table and be like "oops, sorry mr. table, didn't mean to hit you"

zelda once sent link a bouquet of flowers she had grown herself, and link put them in a nice little vase, made sure they got sunlight and water every day, and gave each flower names

when one of the flowers started wilting, link was about to have a whole breakdown

revali comes home to link trying to perform surgery on a flower, like why it got a whole iv drip bag now???

which of the two is the most outspoken? which of the two is quick to speak and which one is quick to listen?

these were actually two separate questions but i decided to mix them, bc i think it's pretty clear who's who

revali is more outspoken and quick to speak, he's confidently opinionated and will mansplain to you unfortunately. he's not afraid to tell you what he thinks, because he thinks he's always right. very much the type to tell you he's just being brutally honest as an excuse to a dick skjdhfkdj

link is soft-spoken, reserved, and a listener, he'll let you take the lead on the conversation or listen you out completely before saying anything.

as such, revali is the one berating the cashier for putting pickles on link's burger when he said he didn't want any 😹

and honestly? link just likes hearing revali's voice, so he's content with letting revali talk his head off as long as they get to cuddle or hold hands.
