To get your free printable witch crafts, visit The Pooka Pages (click here). Pooka is a cat; he's a familiar-in-training. There are witch crafts for Samhain (Halloween), Yule (Winter Solstice), Imbolc (Candlemas), Ostara (Easter), Beltain (May Day), Litha (summer), Lughnasadh (late summer) and Mabon (harvest).

Pooka Pages also has printable runic symbols. Runes are ancient symbols dating back to the Druids and Celts. They are similar to hierglyphics, Native American drawings and Sumarian cuneiform symbols (from which we get our English alphabet). Learn to write messages with the picto-graphs.

There are also Storybook Chair tales, which are charming little stories that children will enjoy. They are best shared with everyone cuddling in a rocking chair. There are free printable Wiccan coloring pages (click here), too. Click here for free printable witch-themed games, fortune-telling charts, bingo and ESP (Extra-Sensory Perception) or mind-reading cards.
