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'm so sad. I gained next to nothing from this book. Most of the articles were either too abstract and/or filled with things every Witch, beginner or not, knows. Idk if it was just my copy at the bookstore but this year the book was wrapped in plastic so I couldn't skim through it. I've never seen that before and I wonder if it's bc they knew how fucking bad this edition was.
I always love starting the year with reading the annual Llewellyn's Witches' Companion. I love reading the huge variety of articles from the Pagan community, this year I particularly enjoyed the articles on boundary setting and climate change. Another great addition from Llewellyn!
I liked the variety of interesting topics and the information to be mostly relevant. The writing was clear and entertaining and I appreciated the links to the authors' websites and related works.
