Love this diverse almanac

I absolutely adore this little "book" and look forward to it every new year. It is chock full of little tidbits and lore that is an absolute delight to peruse with its graphics that are detailed and lovely.This almanac is more diverse with its cultures and spiritual affiliations than any other; in other words, it concentrates on more religions than just the goddess ones. You can find a different holiday for every day, some in Sweden, some from England -- it's educational and facinating to learn new tidbits.Also along with the daily holidays, it gives the usual information on moon phase, astrological positions and tips on how to utilize this information to the fullest. Ever wonder if your little love spell is good on Friday? This tells you if it is and when it will be at its strongest.Along with the daily information, the book is chock-full of history lessons, spells, herbal infusions (topical or consumable) and magical information in general. I found great cookie recipies for my Summer Solstice party that was not only tasty but reflected the occasion along with some iced Strawberry Mint tea that was just a hit.I highly recommend this almanac if you've been looking everywhere for tips and information on magic and the craft in general. They not only offer your basic information, but contribute great ideas from other cultures and religions as well as history lessons from ancient Pagan pasts. A must for the serious practitioner.

For those who are earth-oriented. It is Very Good!

The almanac has many stories and lores about wiccan tradition.The months are full of information about the moon cicles, when to plant or not. Has spells. It is very usefull for those who like the pagan tradition. The information isvery interesting. You can keep it after 2002.

Great reference to keep on hand

This series of books has served well as a reference. I have the last three years that I keep on my bookshelf to refer to. The stories are interesting and invite further study. It has a good way of introducing new ideas that you can explore further if you so desire. It also has a useful calander with moon phases and important alignments. Highly recommended!

Llewellyn's 2001 Magical Almanac

This book will be a practical and enjoyable book to have when the year 2001 begins. This almanac is full of useful advice and good ideas, like recipes for the sabbat holidays and instruction for the art of sensual massage! The listings of this almanac include the date, day, lunar phase, Moon sign, and color and incense for the day. Much of the information in this book is very useful to me as a beginner at witchcraft, as many of the contributing authors are members of the pagan community. I will have some fun with this book now, during and even after next year!
