This book will be a practical and enjoyable book to have when the year 2001 begins. This almanac is full of useful advice and good ideas, like recipes for the sabbat holidays and instruction for the art of sensual massage! The listings of this almanac include the date, day, lunar phase, Moon sign, and color and incense for the day. Much of the information in this book is very useful to me as a beginner at witchcraft, as many of the contributing authors are members of the pagan community. I will have some fun with this book now, during and even after next year!

This series of books has served well as a reference. I have the last three years that I keep on my bookshelf to refer to. The stories are interesting and invite further study. It has a good way of introducing new ideas that you can explore further if you so desire. It also has a useful calander with moon phases and important alignments. Highly recommended!

This substantially populated book consists of a 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, and is, I must say, one of my most used Craft books, and the only Almanac I have ever ordered back issues of! In addition to providing day to day reports of the moon cycle, planetary alignment, suggested incences, colors, and important dates, the subject matter of all other articles is diverse, practical, and interesting to witches of all ages, experience levels, and walks of life. For beginners this year, there are articles on making your own ritual robe, making your own wand, making your own besom, recipes for ritual oils, and more. For more seasoned witches, practical advice on traveling with ritual items, working with runes, folklore about the Whirling Dervishes and Mother Bertha, and more. And for pagan parents, great suggestions of arts and crafts for children. Not to mention, quite a handful of recipes and their history. A must-have!

Simple! These almanacs contain so much more information than just the moon/astrological infor for that year. It's packed full of articles for people of many Pagan traditions to enjoy. You also get a taste of many different Llewellyn authors so you can decide who you'd like to read and who you'd rather skip. I keep all of these, and know I always will!

This is a "must have" if you are a practising pagan. Having a book that attunes you to the cycles of the moon and sun is a wonderful thing. I only wish that it included an ephemeris so I could track the rest of the planets during the year.

i really liked this edition of llewellyn's magical almanac because it had alot of info on minnesota(where i live in here). they also had some other really good articles like the one on the gods and goddesses of the kabbalah. and many more interesting articles. this is my favirote one so far.
