Rating: Summary: Informative and interesting Review: I run on online group for people interested in Wicca/paganism. Many of the people in my group are interested in knowing about the phases of the moon, astrology, etc. This book has been an excellent resource for those things.
Rating: Summary: Witches should know this book but annual purchase unnecessar Review: If you are a beginner, I would certainly get a hold of this book, if for no other reason than to make yourself familiar with what is and is not contained within, just for knowledge’s sake. This slight booklet consists of a small number of brief poems, recipes, tips, and articles from witches around the world, all concerning historical and practical points of interest relating to the craft. While I, personally, find some of this information interesting, on the whole, I would not consider this work a stimulating read, nor an excessively useful reference. Though the three to four page explanation of the lunar cycles is quite useful to the beginner, this is something that is contained every year, so, for this, it need not be purchased annually. I have found the horoscope to be moderately accurate every year, however. I guess what I’m saying is that, by the time you buy this book, and possibly pay shipping for it, if you may not find more than four or five pages of particular use and interest, it may not be worth it. On the other hand, it is not excessively expensive, and some people with different interests than I might find this work fascinating. Decide for yourselves. Pick up this year’s! Please note, that if you are looking for an actual “daily almanac”, you are much better going for Llewellyn’s Magical Almanac, which actually provides day to day report of moon cycle, planetary alignment, suggested incenses, colors, etc.
Rating: Summary: It is what it is Review: It's an almanac, no shock as to what it contains, but I love allt he little extra tidbits of information stuck in it. Worth having for lunar info and all the extras.
