The Magick of the Elements and the Year!: A User's Guide

The Magick of the Four Elements Last year, Llewellyn changed the format of its almanac from seasonal sections to elemental sections. A change that stays with the 2008 edition. A format I find very appealing. The Llewellyn's Magical Almanac has always been a useful tool to learning about different cultures, ancient myths, modern spellwork, discovering the mysteries of ancient symbols, plants and rocks, and the day to day almanac section that gives you the info on Moon phases, Feast day, color and incense. Each elemental section begins with an article about the season it coincide with... Here is a breakdown of the 2008 edition: Earth Magick: Study the Ayurveda... based on the philosophy of the Vedas (the oldest layer of Sanskrit and an ancient Hindu text). Next. finding familiars for those who prefer dogs in their lives. Learn the mystery of Jade, it's color breakdown and uses both ancient and modern. There are also articles about the correlation of planets to plants, Yuletide meditation, Labyrinths, and more! Air Magick: The magick of divining with pendulums, the art of Technomagick brings together the technology of today with the traditions of magick,. Also, learn your name in the Runes, Fairy Godmothers... and a nice article about those swift active Dragonflies, their role in magick and their varying reputations depending upon which continent you visit!
