The Legal Age of Adulthood

Those who teach the Craft, recognize the importance of knowing the laws of the state in which they resideregarding the legal age of adulthood of that state. Current laws in the United States make it illegal to interfere with the religious upbringing of a minor without the express consent of the legal parent or guardian. Since that age varies from state to state and with differing circumstances, the wise teacher will be aware of the laws in his/her state in order to prevent breaking of state or federal laws!
