Anne Hill is an
author,
musician,
pagan,
wiccan and frequent speaker at the
WinterStar Symposium and the
Starwood Festival presented by the
Association for Consciousness Exploration.
She is also a mother and believes the best part of mothering is watching a child learn.
Before she became a mother she was a student at U.C.
Santa Cruz, majoring in
Women's Studies.
She then got her teachering
credential.
After a year she realized she was not cut out to be a
classroom teacher.
But she learned a lot from that experience about how children learn.
She brought an educator's perspective into mothering.
Anne believes that learning exists on many different levels but says that "the most challenging thing about being a mother is--and it doesn't have anything really to do with Paganism--is that it's an opportunity to work through my own childhood garbage.
I can compare my own history when I was a kid, and reflect that my assumptions about how they're feeling are to some degree based on how I was feeling way back when.
Sometimes the insights I get from my kids are so profound it takes me years to figure them all out!"<ref> </ref>
Anne is a a
Pagan and believes strongly in the pagan rituals and traditions of connecting with the spirit world through a universal connection with the earth.
She believes that Pagan children will have memories of
rituals, and will grow up knowing they can share deep bonds with other pagan friends and with the pagan community.
She believes that childen raised as pagans will have a deep connection with the divinity that lies within everything.
That will make the world a better place.
