I wasn't sure if this was the right forum to post this in so if it gets moved, so be it!

My 11 year old daughter has expressed an interest in learning Tarot. I have told her that I would teach her when se was older. She askes me all the time and I have been putting her off for at least 6 months or more. My question is how young do you thing is too young to introduce a child to Magick? I am really interested in how other people view this. Thanks in advance.

It depends by what you mean, as there is a whole lot to magic.

When my eldest daughter was 3 we began to sit down together and paint tarot cards. Now she is 6 and sometimes she will ask me for specific cards to colour in. which I print out for her. I don’t give her any theory but I would say that she is learning to directly interact with her subconscious.

I have also taught her a modified version of the middle pillar, avoiding the charka work and concentrating on the circulation of light - Which she loves! (young uns generally have much less energetic blockages than adults and so energy flows quite freely)

Children are very accepting, as I have always laid hands on her for some form of energy work when she is in pain, she accepts this as natural, and has developed a certain natural ability herself.

Sometimes she tries to join me in meditation and while unlike myself she can happily sit in full-lotus position I’ve never known her to last for more than a couple of minutes. I have never included her in ceremony work but have done so in informal rituals.

Theory is for the mind and if one day she asks about theory then I will try to give her it at a level she understands, but at the moment I don’t think she needs to put things into boxes.
