5.0 out of 5 stars Another Beautiful Wiccan Calendar from Llewellyn, December 31, 2003

This review is from: 2004 Witches' Calendar (Annuals - Witches' Calendar) (Calendar)

With each new year, I enjoy getting a copy of the newest Witches' Calendar from Llewellyn Publications. And, as if often the case, the 2004 calendar is brimming with even more information than the previous yearly calendars. Like its predecessors, the 2004 calendar lists all eight of the Wiccan/Pagan holidays (Imbolc, Ostara, Beltane, Litha, Lammas, Mabon, Samhain and Yule) as well as all significant Christian holidays, Jewish holidays, Muslim holidays, U.S. holidays, Canadian holidays and Mexican holidays. It also lists all significant moon phases (new, waxing quarter, full and waning quarter) and significant planetary movements between the twelve constellations of the zodiac, including whether the movement is retrograde. Birthdays and decease dates for significant people in Pagan history are also listed, as well as other significant Pagan dates. (This list usually increases each year.)

Each month is beautifully decorated with appropriate artwork and accompanied with interesting articles that are usually written by well-known Wiccan/Pagan authors. This year's monthly articles (and their authors) are as follows:
Jan.: "New Years Celebrations" by Kerr Cuhulain.
Feb.: "Winter Handfasting" by Joyce & River Higginbotham.
Mar.: "Spring Equinox" by Anna Franklin.
Apr.: "Celebration of Flowers" by Edain McCoy.
May.: "Language of Floriography" by Dorothy Morrison.
Jun.: "Summer Solstice" by Maria K. Simms.
Jul.: "Independence" by Barbara Ardinger.
Aug.: "Lammas" by Ann Moura.
Sep.: "Mabon" by Karri Ann Allrich.
Oct.: "Samhain" by Daniel Pharr.
Nov.: "Autumn Gardens" by Elizabeth Barrette.
Dec.: "Yule" by Raven Grimassi.

Either other insightful articles contained at the back of the calendar include:
* "Working With Spirit Guides" by Kristin Madden.
* "Magical Dance" by Richard Webster.
* "Visions of Gaia" by Oberon Zell-Ravenheart (who has sculpted many images of various gods & goddesses, including the very beautiful Millenial Gaia).
* "Power and Responsibility" by Ann Moura.
* "Celebrating the God" by Gail Wood.
* "Fairies in the Garden" by Ellen Dugan.
* "Moon Signs and Lunar Influences" by Daniel Pharr.
* "Magical Circles" by Lynne Sturtevant.

Overall, I rate "Llewellyn's Witches' Calendar 2004" with 5 out of 5 stars and highly recommend it.

Llewellyn's Witches' Calendar for 2004 is an amazing Wiccan community calendar. The art as always, is rich. The calendar is packed with fun and information, including moon phases, Pagan and Christian history, phrases and craft tips, planetary motion, and planting and harvesting days. They have combined a calendar and almanac, and filled it with lessons to enjoy throughout the year.

This year's special articles include "Working With Spirit Guides," "Magical Dance," "Visions of Gaia," "Power and Responsibility," "Celebrating the God," "Fairies in the Garden," "Moon Signs and Lunar Influences," and "Magical Circles."

In January, you'll learn the tradition of "12th Night." August reveals the lessons of the bread of Lammas, while you view the smiling cow floating among cotton candy, clouds, a blue ribbon, and "State Fair" banner. Smile while you learn!

My copy of the 2004 calendar came with an insert for a free subscription to "New Worlds of Mind & Spirit," a Llewellyn publication worth over $17! This is a great gift, and make sure to get one for yourself.
