Full Description
In this engaging follow-up to Paganism for Prisoners (9780738767864), Awyn Dawn explores what it means to be a Pagan who has recently been released from prison. She teaches former prisoners how to begin a new practice or expand the practice they enjoyed on the inside without jeopardizing their future goals. This book provides uplifting advice for working with the magical tools that parolees are allowed to have, finding a supportive community, coming out of the broom closet, and repairing damaged relationships. Readers can cast spells, leave offerings for the gods, consider different views on magical ethics, learn to energetically protect themselves, experience the power of meditation, and more. With this book, Pagan parolees will discover ways to nurture their body, mind, and soul while supporting their successful integration back into society.
