I just don't find these books useful. I barely made it through this one and I got a few from years back that were dirt cheap just to read as a reference and I guess I feel they're really out of touch. If you want some Fantastical whimsical witchy Existence that jives with what mainstream witches are "supposed" to look like: earthy, and dancing and really bubbly and kind, this might be for you. But if you're looking for historically accurate good reading, and the meat, dirt and darkness that is the essence of witchcraft, meh, skip
On buying these.

The almanac covers from Samhain 2015 to Mabon 2016. Each sabbat is covered with an explanation, an astrological forecast, a few seasonal recipes and crafts, and an example of a ritual. All of these are meant to enhance your experience with each sabbat. I'm looking forward to purchasing next year's almanac.

I love the little tidbits of information put together for these books. Some of the recipes have become family favorites.
