Llewellyn's 2017 Witches' Datebook

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.

The pages are heavy, almost cardstock, so they hold up under a pen. The information inside is beautifully laid-out in an easy to refer-to style. The writing flows beautifully without being too evasive. The spiral notebook style (my favorite feature) makes looking at a date easier than the delicious recipes inside!

I get this every year because they kept my suggestion of including the Astro Crossquarter for Imbolc, Beltane, Lammas and Samhain where the calendar stopped.I will purchase every year until Llewellyn hopefully comes out with it to sync with one's calendar app.

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 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.

Although I am not wiccan, (Norse Pagan if you will)This is a cool little book! I just wish I had known about it at the start of the year! It has cool little articles and recipes! Plus it helps me keep track of the moon! It's a really neat little thing.

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.

Love love this calendar ... I bought this last year and it NEVER ceases to amaze me . It's a little reference in a calendar :)

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

Fantastic and detailed but moon times and phases are for America so need to work out the time difference

Buy one of these every year for a friend - she loved it

Love this keeps me updated

Here is something very different from the usual diaries about.
