Llewellyn is the world’s oldest and largest independent publisher of books for body, mind, and spirit.
A practical reference for every day of the year, this book is also packed with a wide variety of essays written on magic related topics. It gives a great glimpse into lots of different kinds of magical practices, how they relate to the elements, and what that has to do with time of year. I enjoyed reading it and learned a lot, including plenty of kitchen witchery tidbits.
Usually and typically, it is normal for a annual book to have some good articles and others that are meh, but in the 2024 Magical Almanac book, all the articles are fantastic. It might be because of the Magic theme, with earth, air, fire and water but this almanac is amazing.
I learned new things now have new ideas for magic with all four elements. The authors were engaging and the art was tasteful and magical.
From cemeteries to gifting to cooking and cleansing and rainbows, I found something new, exciting and interesting on every page.
I highly recommend this book for 2024 and honestly beyond.
Enjoyable book to read through to add to existing magical practises. I liked the simple representations of spell work and the thoughtful history included. I think this book will be a lovely addition to the magical toolkit to reference back throughout the year since each day is thoughtfully structured with suggestions to use in a daily practise. Easy to read and follow along.
This is full of goodies! I do wish it was organized a bit more like an almanac, with a bit more attention to time of year for each article. I'm glad I read all the essays and articles first, and can use the middle, almanac section, throughout the year.
Always inspirational for daily colors, celebrations, and living a witchy life. The short articles provide common pagan practices any level of practitioner can use and the almanac is centrally located for easy access. This marks the 13th year of use for me.
There were a number of articles in this book that I found helpful. It is definitely worth reading through, as there are so many different topics covered.
It has some interesting work and takes on traditional workings. Be open going into it. It may have newer versions that work better for those traditional workings.
It was my first year getting this almanac and I thoroughly enjoyed: I expected it to be more like the Witches' Companion, mainly filled with articles, but there are also rituals, spells and practices you can incorporate into your own craft... I found it extremely useful and inspiring.
