You are sitting behind the driver's wheel in your car at a red light. The light turns green, and you start to accelerate.

In the winter of 2010 I decided to pursue a private study of bowl turning. I read every book I could find and watched YouTube videos over and over before I purchased my Nova DVR XP lathe, a 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch Crown bowl gouge, a parting tool, a large scraper, a Makita right angle drill, belt sander, orbital sander, grinding wheel, Sthil chainsaw, buffing wheel, sanding discs, sand paper, CA glue, walnut oil, lacquer, beeswax, rags, wood to build a heavy duty mounting surface for the lathe and sand bags to stabilize the table.

Storybooks specifically aimed at Pagan parents and their youngsters seem rather thin on the ground, which is why I am pleased to see Rupert’s Tales: The Wheel of the Year. Covering Beltane to Mabon, the book contains one story for each festival, in which little rabbit Rupert learns how and why people celebrate that time. Along the way he meets fairies, the green man and goddess. It is written by Kirja, a priestess of many years experience and illustrated by Tonia Bennington Osborn. Tonia’s sweet and simple pastel drawings are eye catching and sure to delight younger readers, while the tales are told in rhyming couplets made to be read aloud. It is perfect for sharing and introducing young children to Pagan beliefs.
Rupert’s Tales is published by Schiffer, and within the UK and Europe can be ordered direct from Bushwood Books.
