School social worker and psychotherapist by day, Gardnerian tradition witch by faith and study, the Kitchen Witch, aka Aviva's most important job is Mommy (of two amazing boys!) Aviva says, "Raising Pagan children has its challenges and in teaching the boys to honor their faith, I emphasize bringing our love for the God and Goddess into even the most simple of daily tasks, including cooking. Making the Sabbat meal is just as important to me as getting out altar tools for a ritual." In her quest to help her children have a more formal religious program, she is in the process of writing a curriculum for a Pagan children's educational program that includes family-oriented rituals.
