Llewellyn's 2017 Magical Almanac: Practical Magic for Everyday Living Reviews

Pretty good book with some interesting articles. I don't think all articles are good, but this book is hardly doctrine. The only one that really bothered me was the eclectic article with the interviews. Cultural appropriation is touched upon but with sort of a "if I want to do this I should" attitude. Respect is first and foremost: don't take practices from a closed religion just because you "really want to." Overall, good book with some interesting reads.

I did NOT expect an Almanac to be so interesting! A very small portion of the book is an actual almanac, the rest of the book is filled with various informative articles... That doesn't really sound interesting, but you'll have to take my word on it. If you really know what this book is about and you are interested in learning more about the practices, this book is FANTASTIC!

I enjoyed this book. I found most of the chapters to be useful and/or enjoyable. Some chapters didn't apply to me, but that didn't mean they weren't good too. I definitely have a few that were my favorite. I feel this book was worth buying.

I enjoyed reading through the almanac series! This was my first year reading them, and I am thinking I'll grab them again next year!

While I've been a longtime reader of the Witches' Almanac from Theitic, this was the first time I decided to pick up one of Llewellyn's Magical Almanacs to give it a try.
I'm sorry to say that I will remain a reader of Theitic's Almanac.
It wasn't a bad volume, but it wasn't impressive either. There were several interesting articles, but very few that I would actually apply within my own practice. Much of the book's information can be found online on various Pagan blogs.
This wasn't what I was looking for or expecting.
