Llewellyn's 2023 Witches' Companion explores the leading edge of Witchcraft and Pagan lifestyles with more than two dozen articles featuring new insights and hands-on magical practices.
Ari and Jason Mankey reveal how to renew your magical self through cleaning up and letting go. Najah Lightfoot explores some of the most important movies to include in your witchy film library. Michelle Skye walks you through creating your own full moon altar that changes throughout the year. Stephanie Rose Bird discusses the importance of acknowledging magic from the African diaspora. You will also discover how to create your own Book of Shadows (Deborah Blake), use the laws of magic to increase prosperity (Diana Rajchel), make mundane moments magical (Phoenix LeFae), and increase your confidence as a witch (Melanie Marquis).
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.
As always, this is a guide full of a variety of articles. While not every piece may appeal to every person (like myself), there is something for everyone, from the new to the path to the old hats. I felt it strangely fitting to have a more down-to-earth guide on self-care included, to be honest.
I enjoyed reading through the 2023 Witches' Companion, I haven't purchased one in a few years so it was refreshing to say the least. I will continue to use it throughout 2023. I like reading through my almanacs, datebooks and calendar's marking events and days so I don't forget. My copy is a paperback which I prefer it's lightweight to carry along with me when I travel.
While I didn’t love every article in this book, I found it incredibly helpful. Whether it’s your first year in the Craft or your 25th, everyone will find something of value in this collection of short articles. It’s got something for just about everyone, beginners, intermediate, advanced, as well as deep diving into certain topics that you may not find often. I look forward to getting next years version.
Every year I contemplate whether or not to purchase this book. Sometimes I read it, and sometimes I don't. I would say about half the articles are of interest to me. Those articles provided helpful information, but I usually could do without the rest.
A very fun and informative read. Some articles I loved, some I skipped completely. I feel like this book covers board array of subjects which is exactly what you want from an almanac. Can’t wait to read 2024 next year!
I always look forward to these - I absolutely love the variety of articles & even though I dont particularly love all of them, this book always gives me so much inspiration!
