It's really a shame that a book full of so many absolutely stunning illustrations is filled with so much absolutely useless nonsense; when it comes to what's actually inside the book content wise, the gorgeous nature of the illustrations feel quite a bit like attempting to put lipstick on a pig. A way to dress up an otherwise empty coffee table book.
Each chapter walks you through a brief amount of information on the "moon name" ... A "deity" or Neopagan "festival" of the moth ... Crystals and Herbs, and a bird (or some kind of animal) of the Month ... A Tarot Card of the month ... And usually a few spells or activities ... And yet none of them are very good at all.
All of the moon names are from the same standard list pulled from bastardized "Indigenous American" belief (all of which, hilariously enough, while constantly attributed to indigenous Americans, actually comes from European folklore) ... The Gods, when they appear, are all from completely random cultures, pulled with your typical lack of legitimate rhyme or reason- and very little real understanding of their actual nature or the beliefs surrounding them (let alone the parent cultures to which they belong) ... And the correspondences are from the same substandard books on correspondences found practically everywhere else, with nothing particularly new or interesting said about anything (let alone any comprehension of the differences of how they should actually be used for each purpose in half the cases).
Some chapters also include various "customs and traditions", "superstitions", and "sayings" provided. And of course absolutely all of them are provided with none of the proper context needed to actually understand any of them on any proper level. Worse, they're presented with over half of the information just conveniently missing entirely; for instance, in the section on the month of January, she never mentions why the dish "Black Eyed Peas and Greens" is eaten on New Years, even on a mythologized level- nor that this is specifically an American southern tradition which is prominent mostly among the impoverished rural and African American populations of the region; very convenient to leave that information out, indeed, as per usual.
Additional information like "Moon Phases" or the little blurbs about the seasons, or the "Wiccan Rede" make zero sense in half the spaces they're slapped into, and seem hap-dashedly thrown in there just for the sake of bulking things up so that the author had a measly bit more content with which to pad out an otherwise paltry book. But regardless of chapter or topic, all of the information provided is typically in the form of one tiny little paragraph- and that's it. That's all the information you really get.
Everything in here is so unbelievably shallow, and lacks any real amount of depth, or interest, let alone nuance- just as Eclectic NeoPaganism itself generally tends to overall (and it really is a stock standard Eclectic NeoPagan text down to the T) ... Not to mention how it toes an incredibly thin line close to appropriation, and, at bare minimum, absolutely participates in the cultural whitewashing of information presented.
Save your money. The book's worthless, on top of the kindle formatting itself generally being atrocious to try and read. You can find far better info elsewhere in every regard, I promise.

Wunderschöne Illustrationen, ich habe selten ein Buch mit so schönen Zeichnungen gehabt.
Leider ist das auch so ziemlich das einzig Positive. Das Buch soll einem für jeden Monat Mythen und Bräuche nennen, etwas aufklären. So hat in jedem Monat z.B. der Mond einen anderen Namen und es wird erklärt wo dieser herkommt. Leider beschränken sich die Informationen auf max. 1 Seite, bei einem A5 DIN Buch. Die Informationsdichte ist somit sehr niedrig was ich schade finde. Ich hätte mir gerne mehr Informationen gewünscht.

This book is beautifully illustrated, meticulously curated, and simply gorgeous. I borrowed the copy I finished from a friend, but I absolutely want a copy for my own shelf. It's a great reference that combines information and inspiration in such a tidy package.

Ein wunderschön illustriertes Buch, die Zeichnungen sind wirklich sehr schön und anspreched. Inhaltlich fand ich das Buch jedoch sehr "flach" gehalten; es enthält pro Monat kurze Erklärungen zu Monden, Kristallen, Bräuchen etc - jedoch fehlten mir teilweise mehr Infos zum tieferen Verständnis. Zudem sind leider nicht alle gemachten Angaben korrekt...
Ich bin ehrlich gesagt etwas enttäuscht von dem Buch, ich hatte mir mehr erhofft. Es ist ganz nett gestaltet und inhaltlich "okay", aber ich würde es nicht noch einmal kaufen.

This was a hard review to write... simply because there's not much to talk about this book other than that I was very disappointed with it.
The only good points about this book are the illustrations, which are gorgeous. So it's sad that the content of the book doesn't match the impression you might get at first glance. For the lack of content, this book is too long, and I don't think making it longer would solve the problem.
It has 12 chapters for the months - each with the "moon of the month", a "bird/animal of the month", a cristal, a herb, a deity and a tarot card - and a glossary, but it is basically fancy words with no real meaning. Most of the information feels disconnected, and to be honest, it feels like they weren't researched at all, because there's no depth in what's being talked about. The names of the moons feel like they were chosen randomly out of a list of cultures, with very little information about the culture per se. The same goes for the other topics. Just a bunch of cultures being thrown together without any depth or real connection to one another.
Even so, for a book that talks about so many cultures, not once does it mention closed practices and how it's important to respect them. Actually, there are many situations when it feels like the book is whitewashing some cultures by deciding not to mention important facts for a certain belief. The book also has some "extra topics", which seem to be there just to feel the empty space between the "main information", as none of them are explained enough to be actually understood. Another bad point is the spells the book brings. They're too vage, it doesn't feel like they knew what to put there.
I don't think it's worth it to buy this book if you're looking for information. There are way better books you can find, with actual good information. The information on this one could be found for free with a quick google search.

Het mysterie van de natuur. Door: Alison Davies.
Ik hou van boeken, die met mooie tekeningen hebben een streepje voor, én ik hou van de natuur. Het mysterie van de natuur is een mijn droomcombinatie in boekformaat.
Davies neemt je het jaar rond mee op sleeptouw: maan na maan, elke maand heeft iets speciaals. Je meandert op het ritme van de seizoenen. Via inheemse wijsheden over Griekse mythes tot heidense tradities. Denk aan: een sneeuwklokjesritueel voor creativiteit, het kristal van de maand, een asterwens voor liefde en zo veel meer.
Nooit te zweverig, altijd makkelijk zelf uitvoerbaar en inspirerend. En boek om je met jezelf en moeder Natuur in verbinding te brengen. Fijn om te lezen, dankzij de prachtige tekeningen ook mooi om te zien en misschien nog wel fijner om te geven. Met de feestdagen in aantocht…

Eerder las ik ook al 'Het Mysterie van de Maan', eveneens geschreven door Alison Davies.
Dit boek viel helaas minder in de smaak :/
Ik stoorde mij eraan dat het boek geen gericht thema leek te vinden. Het ene moment ging het over helende planten en kruiden, vervolgens ging het over tarotkaarten en hun betekenissen. Alle informatie in dit boek is ook super beknopt. In feite wist ik alles in dit boek al, maar het was toch fijn om een kleine opfrissing van de "basics" mee te krijgen. Daarnaast is het boek wel waardevol omwille van de vele illustraties die erin staan. Iedere bladzijde is prachtig vormgegeven! Hierdoor was het boek toch een aangename leeservaring.
Ik zou dit werk aanraden aan beginnende heksen en mensen die houden van grafische illustraties met een occult/sprookjesachtig randje ;)

5 stars for the illustrations, 1 star for the information.

This was a little mystical book that I enjoyed, mainly because of the beautiful illustrations, colours, poems and overall design.
I think, in terms of the actual facts and information, the book could've been a bit better. But for me, the design really pushed for the ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ rating.
I got fairly inspired by some some spells and I would like to try some out. I liked the simplicity of the chosen spells: Aphrodite's apple spell, Juno's money spell, Sunna's morning spell, letting go of bad habits & rowan tree protection spell! 🧿
I feel like I want to try deep-cleaning in February, so I can "get the old out" and then visit flowing water somewhere nearby. In May I can try to focus on flowers and "the new life". Like always, autumn will be time for changes.. and my birthday!!
Something I just figured out while reading this book was that all the animals (horses, owls, bunnies, wolves, ravens and other birds etc.) that I've taken a strong liking to or had a little obsession with, were animals that people associate with certain things and they were all present in this mystical book. The world has interesting ways..
I think it would be beneficial for me to also buy and plant a few herbs in our garden that were mentioned in the book. I could use them or they could be just pretty. I was thinking of rosemary and thyme, since my sister <3 already brought 'the best mint in the world' and we planted it. I even named it Lilit 💚 (update: it died 😒)

Amei como a Darkside trouxe um livro menos atrelado a tradições neopagãs e com mais conteúdo folclórico. A maioria das práticas são bem básicas, mas achei que tem uma linguagem ótima e que pode ser lido por qualquer pessoa, até quem não tá acostumada com Magia.
É um pouco confuso associar as práticas mensais com os meses aqui no Brasil, por ser um livro escrito no hemisfério Norte e seguir a roda de lá. Mas acho que pode ser um bom guia para estruturar sua própria prática sazonal.
Gostei como as lunações foram explicadas e principalmente por sinalizar de onde elas surgiram. Acho que isso é muito importante pra entender como estruturar as práticas pessoais aqui no Hemisfério Sul também, porque várias lunações são baseadas em coisas não muito tradicionais em um país tropical como o Brasil.
Num geral, é um livro que pode ajudar a entender como as práticas regionais são e dar um Norte pra estruturar as suas próprias.

Pretty illustrations. Admittedly I am not an expert in this witchy stuff but all the information presented in this book (which accuracy I can’t verify) feels mish-mashy, taking a lot of references from different cultures/practices, that the end result/correspondences listed within each month feels awkward & unrelated to one another. Also I know the author picked the tarot card of the month based on astrological correspondences but did not want to include cards like The Devil or Death, so they put random ass cards on some of the months. I do learn some new stuff though so it’s not a complete waste of time.

Celtic meets Native American - Samhain meets Harvest Moon, a little of this and a little of that.

Bought it yesterday cause I thought it was cute but I should've remembered I live in the south hemisphere and the seasons are different...

O livro tem várias ilustrações e observações incríveis, mas tudo é muito raso e segue a roda norte.

Чарівна книга, яка згадує основні символи та ритуали Колеса Року і стане в нагоді всім, хто цікавиться природними циклами та традиційними святами

Honestly, this book is no use at all. The illustrations as others have said are lovely. But there is so little actual information. In June for example, it has a title of herbs and flowers (pg70) it then tells you they are often used in spell work and can be linked to different planets and have different attributes. That's it. It doesn't actually give you any herbs with correspondences. Nothing. All you now know is they're used.
Some of the spells are so simplistic I think they hardly qualify. 'if you want luck fast, rub jade'. 'if you want a fairy blessing, stand under a Hawthorne tree and ask for one'. moon blessing? Carve a moon in a candle with "yellow petals" (see if there was more in that herb and flower section, I'd have some idea of what the properties of different yellow flowers were).
This isn't even good for beginners honestly, there's far better books out there. If you want to look at some nice art, go for it. But as for the information contained, give it a miss. I'm glad I borrowed it from my library.

Such a gorgeous book of collective facts and stories about the year and the illustrations are just fantastic. They made it for me, to be honest. It needs to be said that this is an overview book, not massively in-depth about anything, but works great as a collection of starting off points. Beginnings to work with. It's set out into Seasons and Months, but starting with January - which meant that the Winter season was split. But I'm not sure that either starting in December or with Spring would have made any more sense either! Each month contains details about which full moon you have, a crystal for the month, tarot card, spells, a deity, customs, superstitions, herbs and an animal for the month. There is also the most basic explanation of the wheel of the year and associated festivals. It's nothing that you can't get elsewhere, but the collection worked well for me and IT'S SO GORGEOUS it actually made me want to cry with its beauty. Well done to the illustrator: Anastasia Stefurak.

“Cute”
The illustrations in this book is what did it for me, so beautiful 😻
The content is kind of beginner Witch material, you got like an animal, Crystal, Herb, Moon Name, Folklore, Tarot for the month but packed into just a few pages so not majorly in depth but enough information to cover the basics.
Also some little spells and rituals.
I loved the artwork x and I’d certainly note down a few rituals to use when the Given Month arrives.

Esse é o tipo de livro que me ganha pela edição bonita, mas que no fundo o conteúdo é bem básico. Pra quem nunca leu sobre o assunto talvez seja interessante. Mas tem um porém: a autora é britânica e, portanto, o conteúdo é todo feito baseado no hemisfério norte. Para quem está no sul fica meio confuso. Por exemplo, o mês de dezembro fala sobre inverno. Eu fui lendo durante esse ano aos poucos, tentando fazer algumas adaptações, mas sinceramente achei fraquinho.

I was really excited when I was reading this book...only to come write note after note. There is mentions of close practices and not a lot of folklore. I was expecting it to have a lot of information on folklore that we know the basics of so people would be interested.
This is a beautiful book, beautiful illustrations...but so poor in the year of change.

A lovely little witchy book. Give you a great basic layout for each month for things that represent that time of year. Filled with beautiful illustrations. Factually some aspects are incorrect but a wonderful starting place for beginners.
June 22, 2022
Absolutely lovely. Really deserves 4.5 stars for me but opted for four because I would have liked it to be a little more in depth. However it is a great way to get a snapshot into a couple different elements.

Very recommendable and thorougly sweet mini-lexica for all my Pagan witches out there! 🌿🌕
September 23, 2022
Beautifully illustrated and designed. There is nothing deep in this book. It's just something nice to keep by the bedside and enjoy marking the seasons with.
October 29, 2022
Wasn't as detailed as I expected, good for beginners if that is what you are looking for.

Beautiful illustrations and some interesting information. Lovely book.
