Witchy Picture Books
Meg and Mog Series (Ages 2–5)
I adored these now classic books as a child—the bold illustrations, the witchy mischief, the magical mess-ups. Was it an omen or an early initiation into the craft? Either way, Meg and Mog left a lasting impression.
Child of Faerie, Child of Earth (Ages 4–8)
A gentle, lyrical tale of friendship and magic. I bought this for my daughter years before she was born, and it’s still one of our most treasured storybooks. The poetic language and enchanting illustrations invite quiet wonder.
Room on the Broom (Ages 2–6)
A fun and energetic read-aloud perfect for toddlers and preschoolers. The rhyming verse supports early literacy, rhythm, and chanting—plus, it’s packed with friendly magical creatures working together as a team.
The Song of Sabbats Series (Ages 3–8)
Each book in this beautifully illustrated series introduces a different sabbat through seasonal stories, songs, and activities. A favourite among pagan families wanting to celebrate the Wheel of the Year with their children.
Created by one of my wonderful clients, this empowering eco-fantasy series follows the adventures of the fairy, Starlight, and Bridget, her quirky hen friend. It’s a beautiful choice for conscious, earth-loving families.
Enchanting Chapter Books for Tweens
Little Gem (Ages 7-10)
A quaint and gently spooky chapter book about a young witch who lands in the wrong time. Full of mischief, magic, and charm, it’s a delightful read for kids growing into magical fiction.
Hedgewitch (Book Series) (Ages 8–12)
An enchanting, folklore-rich adventure with strong witchy vibes. I read this aloud when my daughter was first learning to read, which evolved into taking turns reading paragraphs, then chapters together. Ideal for independent readers or bedtime bonding.
Pagan Parenting Books
A modern classic for spiritually-minded families. Full of stories, songs, and rituals to celebrate the sacred in everyday life. A go-to resource for raising magical kids with earth-centred values.
Tips for Raising Magical Readers
Reading can be a beautiful ritual in itself—one that connects, calms, and empowers your child. Here are some gentle, magical ways to nurture a love of reading:
Make reading part of your family rhythm. Storytime before bed, after dinner, or as part of seasonal celebrations helps anchor books into your child’s memory as a meaningful moment of connection.
Choose books that reflect your values. Children are deeply affected by what they read. Stories about nature, magic, kindness, and empowerment can help nurture their inner world and create positive ripples across our beautiful planet.
Honour the power of pictures. Let your child linger over illustrations, trace symbols with their fingers, and explore what they notice in the artwork. If they’re drawn to graphic novels or visual formats, that counts as reading too—especially for visual learners and neurodiverse kids.
Let your child lead. Take turns choosing books. Later you can read take turn reading paragraphs or chapters aloud. This builds confidence and encourages curiosity.
Repeat the favourites. Don’t worry if they want to read the same story over and over—it’s part of how children learn and feel safe. I read Where’s Spot? a lot and I’ll be able to “Donde esta…?” anything forever. (The magic of repetition leads nicely into my next tip.)
Ritualise your reading. My Nan always started with “Is everyone sitting comfortably? Then let us begin…“ to help centre me and my wriggling siblings at storytime. Maybe you’d like to light a candle, pull an oracle card, or snuggle up under a seasonal blanket. Make it a sacred pause in the day.
Amplify the stories. Ask what they loved, what surprised them, or which character they’d like to be. Bring the tale to life through an imaginative game or drawing. This builds emotional connection and reflection.
Do you have a favourite magical children’s book that your family treasures? I’d love to hear about it! Please send me a message and share your recommendations—this list will grow and evolve as my own parenting adventure unfolds, and as brilliant new books are written by magical creators around the world.
If you're a writer (or a writer-to-be) and curious about how astrology can support your creative flow, I'd also love to hear from you. I’m currently gauging interest in two upcoming offerings: Astrology for Writers, a course to help you align your writing with cosmic cycles, and Writing Time, a quiet accountability space for magical creatives. If either calls to you, feel free to message me or add your name to this expression of interest form—I’ll be in touch once details are ready to share. ✨
