Llewellyn's 2017 Witches' Datebook

This is the most helpful day planner I have ever had! Cute, compact, and comprehensive, it helps me be mindful of my spirituality while also managing to stay more organized. Even though it seems that everyone prefers to use digital organization via their cellphones or tablets these days, there's something uniquely beneficial in likewise tracking items committed to paper via pen. In addition to offering day spaces with enough room to jot down appointments, notes, or other little reminders, each week is interspersed with phases of the moon, power colors, items of astrological importance, and articles from both well-known and not so established pagans regarding their spirituality. Some of the articles reference the Wheel of the Year; some are just great recipes. There is a strong emphasis on learning through out, so suffice it to say, I'll be buying this planner for the rest of my life.

I was given the 2016 version as a gift and l really loved it. i wanted next years so i purchased this one for myself. This version is just as good, it looks like it has more information on stones than recipes this time which I appreciate because I collect stones and many of the recipes were not useful to me due to dietary constraints. The plastic spiral binding isn't the best in the world but at least its not wire that catches on everything. Eventually one end broke off but it was easily manageable and the thing really took a lot of abuse in my bag before that happened. There is no monthly calendar spread. The days are not lined and they are set up with one week between two pages. Monday through Friday is on the left and on the right there is a picture or a passage (on an upcoming holiday/event/moon or a stone/ritual/recipe) with Saturday and Sunday below it. some days have random little tips about incenses, stones, other materials, i've even seen some about the moon and gods/goddesses. there are symbols that mark whether its a planting day or harvesting day, it also gives daily information on the moon phases, sun signs, color of the day, etc. You can see an example of the weekly spreads if you click "look Inside" on the photo of the cover and go towards the end of the preview.

I usually get wall calendars, but opted for the datebook version this year, and I am already in love with it! The format makes it easy to keep track of mundane chores such as paying bills and keeping appointments and deadlines in-mind, as well as to document spiritual rites and rituals. Peppered throughout the datebook are illustrations, short essays, planetary and magickal correspondences, and little hints, tips, and tricks. These little vignettes serve as a daily reminder of spirit which I appreciate and enjoy. One note is to keep abreast of the moon phases in this calendar, as the dates for the Dark Moon (represented as the New Moon in this datebook) are not accurate - the rest of the lunar phases (full, first, and last quarters) represented in the datebook are correct as listed.

I have always loved the Llewellyn's datebooks. They are chock full of so much information! When I look through them, I always find something inspiring: a new recipe, a historical fact I never knew before (they are tucked into the dates - nice little surprises throughout the year!), sometimes even some other nice little treats I wasn't expecting. There's just always something new in there, at least that has been my experience. I also love the size - perfectly sized to fit in a purse or messenger bag, even a "trapper keeper" (remember those?!). ;) This has always been the go-to datebook for me.

This is such a neat little Wiccan/astrological book! Does NOT MEAN YOU ARE A WITCH by buying it! There is a whole date book in here by month, moon phases, astrological signs and even planting/harvesting schedule with the passing days! Cute sayings and little prayers/(they call spells or chants) this book can be precieved in MANY WAYS by how you read it. I like positive energies and am into stones and astrological signs, there's no WITCHCRAFT like you would think... I believe it to be of Wiccan which is embracing nature, not evil! Just a handy day planner even has 2018 calander in it!!!

I buy this datebook every year and will do so until they stop making it (which i hope they never do). Each year has a different theme of what the writing will be about. It includes some great recipes for certain high wiccan holidays. And, each year I look forward to the illustrations within. Great source of information! Keep up the great work!

This datebook is an absolute staple on my desk/in the kitchen and I've loved it every year since 2006. This year's edition is no exception, with wonderful written pieces, beautiful seasonal art and is chocked full of witchy almanac-info. The ONLY semi-disappointment was most of the recipes, which is something I look forward to every year so I have fresh ideas for things to make for each of our holidays. Lately Llewellyn has gotten into a rut w recycled and paraphrased recipes (Apple cake for Mabon again?) and many of the recipes are so simple that there's nothing really exciting about them. But that's just me, and I favor creative recipes. Many may prefer something w as few ingredients as possible on hectic days. But I will buy this calendar every year for the rest of my life; it's a must-have for Pagans of all pantheons and paths!

I have been buying these datebooks for about a decade through Llewellyn's. It was a pleasure to find this through Amazon for a lower price than the publisher offers. These datebooks are a wonderful way to stay organized throughout the year while also staying connected to a witchy lifestyle! The scratch art is always beautiful, and the planner is loaded with delicious recipes, interesting lore and history, ritual and spell ideas, and other interesting tidbits associated with different events throughout the year. Never a disappointment!

Ich hatte schon die Ausgabe 2016 und bin immer noch genau so begeistert wie letztes Jahr. Der Planer ist sehr schön gestaltet und beinhaltet zusätzlich viele Tipps für (Jung)Hexen. Auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert.

Absolutely cannot live without this date book - have been buying it for years. It has info on old holidays, info on seasons, lots of space to write stuff. Of every datebook i have tried & i am 66 years old - this is the very best.

Had one of these last year and it made my year more dynamic this year more epic if your ready to listen to your inner desires and natures call this is for you, stunningly illustrated and full of wisdom. I cut out all the pics from last years to make a journal of my new epic year ahead thanks Llewellyns and your illustrators and authors what a God Send
