Summary: Not going to win any awards but what the hey!
Review: Each year I find myself purchasing the Witches' Almanac. I am not wiccan and have no intentions of being so, but I am drawn to it like a moth to the flame. Maybe it's just my Uranus wanting to shock the hell out of people who see me reading it on my lunch break!
I always find the most interesting news articles and briefs in these publications that you never see on the local news. The poetry is always well worth the read and the calendar isn't half bad.
Over all, don't expect any depth or real educational, but a nice little splurge and certainly not overpriced.

Summary: Lovely little addition to any library
Review: I absolutely adore this little "book" and look forward to it every spring for the new year. It is chock full of little tidbits and lore that is an absolute delight to peruse with its "woodcut" graphics that are detailed and lovely.First of all, there is always a section on what's been happening in the news and the news always has to do with something metaphysical or spiritual. For instance, one passage had new information on "Nessie" the Lock Ness and the second had interesting speculation that an armor dealer in Italy had possibly found Joan of Arc's suit of armor because it literally fit his 13-year-old girl. I love these little news clips because they are interesting and informative. There is always a republishing of a fairy tale of some sort and is usually the original form with an explanation of the moral. Otherwise, there are always various articles and information. For instance, one passage had to do with the mystical origin of "Scarborough Fair," by Simon and Garfunkel, one had information on the Egyptian God Set and his origin in Egyptian lore, one had recipes for "moon cookies" for a summer feast, another had information on the different moons and what they represent, another had information on the superstition of the black cat throughout history and how the U.S. is the only one that regards it as bad luck, the list is various and endless... but one thing is for sure: it's an almanac and it reads like one; informative, advising and entertaining. Also, there is always a detailed two-page spread on each horoscope for the year as well as a weather almanac (which I find disturbingly accurate, I must confess,) as well as moon phases and a calendar for the entire year with advice for certain days, famous people's birthdays and moon phases. This is a wonderful little book. I've read criticism towards this book for the price in regards to the size, but there is NO external advertising. That is, there's no ad in the back to call LaToya's Jackson's stupid psychic hotline. Ads such as these usually litter metaphysical newsletters/almanacs in order to help pay for the costs of the book and it is refreshing to have a collectible without them. Ever see a woman's fashion magazine? Notice how 3/4 of it is just advertisements? Ever wish there weren't any? That's what this is. In other words, I'd rather pay the extra bucks to see it without them. Also, this is from an independent publisher (ahem...Witches' Almanac, Inc.) which is why it's a couple of bucks extra. I've been collecting these almanacs for years. They also have books of theirs that you can order through them such as herbal books, a book of "wisdom" for each day of the year, past issues of the almanac and reprints of them from the 70s as well as much, much more. This is a little treasure of a book that is wonderful to read. Check it out at your bookstore and you'll love the content. High recommendation for the serious practitioner, anyone who collects almanacs of various sorts and people who love history and folklore. A must buy for unique book collections.

Summary: The Perfect Witches Almanac
Review: I am pleased to say that this is exactly what I was looking for in an Almanac -- something that simply tells me the phases of the moon, important dates, etc. with other charming articles, poems, and artwork for my reading and viewing pleasure. No irritating fluff thrown in there like in the Llewellyn Almanacs, just straight to the point information and articles worth your time. The reason this almanac is a dollar more expensive is because it's the better almanac. Whether you're an experienced witch or you've only been one for a day, this almanac will help you keep track of things!

Summary: Never fails to make me happy
Review: I collect these books. I just adore them. From the great and easy to use calendars to the horoscope in the back to the weather forcasting. I find the whole package just charming and wonderful. I have a difficult time finding these locally near me as they sell out fast! So I was so happy Amazon had them. This is a gem of an almanac if you need a quick reference and is wonderfully easy to use. You just might find yourself like me searching used book stores for old copies of this little gem to add to your collection.

Summary: I'm not a Wicca or an astrologer but I like this book
Review: I have purchased this book for the past four years because it contains lots of great short stories, poetry, astrological advice, and most usefully helps me keep track of the lunar cycle. I just naturally like to know where the moon is. It's a treasure trove of fun facts and inexpensive too. Like I say, I'm no Wicca or mage of any sort but I reccomend this book.

Summary: The less fancy, but preferred almanac
Review: I highly recommend these almanacs. I have been using them for many years. It includes lunar calendars for each cycle and many of the days include simple ideas for that day. There are always great lore and stories inside and the astrology predictions for the year for each sign have always been right on for me and those around me.

Summary: The Witche's Almanac
Review: I really found this book helpful as a fairly new Witch. I find that you still have to do more research to find out what the moon phases mean and but the basic helpful information is clearly laid out for you. You can use the information how you want to. There is alot of other information in the book including horoscope, recipies, folklore and AMERICAN (not Canadian) weather predictions. - I found it well worth the price. I have not read "Llewellyn's Magical Almanac" but plan to compare the 2 books.
