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.

"Awyn Dawn has done it again! Her ability to share her life with us through Paganism, intuition, and practical spells is not just for parolees, but for the everyday person wanting to open their minds and abilities! She provides us with the basics and takes us beyond, allowing us to go as far as we want in a clear and precise way. A must have for every Pagan's shelf!"-Melanie Barnum, author of Intuition at Work"Awyn Dawn continues her quest to advise the formerly incarcerated pagan community on how to navigate the transition from behind the concrete to parolee. Her charming mix of magical instruction and blunt reality is refreshing and needed. She offers her lived experience in both spiritual paths and everyday living. I recommend this book to anyone who lives or works in this space."-JoyBelle Phelan, program assistant for the University of Denver Prison Arts Initiative (DU PAI) and Prison Journalism Project
"This book is full of magickal practices that are easy to understand and affordable...It offers a groundbreaking way to relate to the experiences and limitations of parole and how to create positive experiences when we are in limited systems...I see it as an essential resource to fill the gap between living a whole life or returning to a life that leads back to incarceration. I, also, recommend this book to young readers interested in Paganism who might be on a destructive path. I believe that it would help them to wake up and recognize how to walk in the world, be grateful for the freedom that they currently have, and move them away from possibly entering the system...Whether you are an individual on parole, a family member, anyone within the criminal justice system, or a curious mind, this is a practical guide on how to approach life with respect, how to approach self-care, and how to be a happy, successful person at any point in your path."-Granddaughter Crow, author of Belief, Being, and Beyond
