Llewellyn George started his publishing company in Portland, Oregon in 1901, concentrating Astrological books and annuals. In 1961, Carl L. Weschcke of St. Paul, Minnesota purchased the company and relocated it to the Midwest.
Llewellyn is the world’s oldest and largest independent publisher of books for body, mind, and spirit.
I look forward to the Llewellyn's Magical Almanac every year and the 2012 issue was definitely not a disappointment. Some of my favorite essays were "The Green Man: Spirit of Abundance"; "The Three R's of Chant Writing: Rhyme, Rhythm and Repetition"; "A Little Kitchen Magic"; "Find Your Personal Goddess"; "Magical Artistic Expression"; "Sekhmet: Goddess of Medicine"; and "Alternative Casting Patterns". There were many other essays that were useful and informative, but the above mentioned were definitely well-written and will come in handy during rituals.
I always enjoy Llewellyn's almanacs. I got this copy on sale before Border's went out of business. There is a small part in the beginning introducing the authors and then a chapter each on earth, air, fire, & water magic as well as an almanac section in the center that tells the various conditions for any of the 366 days in 2012.
