Llewellyn's 2020 Magical Almanac: Practical Magic for Everyday Living Reviews
-
Several good articles for a book that's been out for a decade now. I took quite a few notes from it, especially about the magical jewelry.
-
I’ve used this particular publishers almanac since 2013 and find it is a comfort book for me. I get one every year as a Yule gift to start off the calendar new year with a fresh perspective. I haven’t looked for or heard of an almanac that follows the [traditional?] Pagan calendar starting with Samhain {October 31} unless it’s been a Celtic Tree calendar...but that could be me being lazy. Comment any suggestions if you have them!
The articles sometimes repeat themselves from year to year or from the website to the printed version year to year. I don’t mind. I read them with an eye for knowledge and broadening of my perspectives. The information contained sometimes provide new esoteric knowledge or spellwork but most often contribute to the annual understanding of season cycles, elemental work, or how to do something. They are clearly written and easy to read. There isn’t a lot of jargon so NewTo’s will find it very accessible. There are beautiful illustrations throughout the book, which is why I haven’t been able to part with any of them!
The calendar portion is always proceeded by a yearly calendar at a glance, day meanings, lunar phase times and explanations, Moon sign significance, color and incense attribution {explanation of color relation are often provided in an appendix}, time zones map, Sabbats and Full Moon schedule, Sabbats in the Southern Hemisphere, and an attribution of where the monthly birthstone poetry comes from. All times are EST.
The calendar portion focuses on providing basic information such as:
Date
Alternate Holidays {not necessarily Pagan but ancient and other cultural holidays}
Type of Moon
Moon Phase
Color of the Day
Moon Sign
Incense Scent of the day
*If the Moon/Sun will move into a different astrological house, it will also provide the time*
Again, very accesible for all levels of readers and may be enjoyable for those who simply wish to have intention through astrological, color or scent throughout their day.
*All thoughts and opinions are my own.* -

I (Calantirniel) wrote "Astral Projection for the Ultra-Earthbound" for this book.
-
Some good information in here that makes the book useful even past the specified year.
