Snag Llewellyns 2016 Witches Companion: An Almanac For Contemporary Living (Llewellyns Witches Companion) Expressed By Llewellyn Publications Distributed As Volume

found several of the articles in this collection thoughtprovoking and even jotted down a few notes for further research when I have the time.
As it is published by Llewellyn the book is heavily weighted towards Wiccans and NeoWiccans and other similar earthbased spiritual paths.
If you are not among those, this companion can still be of service, You might find a spell in here that fits with your work with or without a little tweaking and there is always the chance of learning something new and learning how other people think.


The articles are a fairly quick read and if you have some time in the coming months, I would set aside a few hours and thumb through this companion.
Full of essays by different authors, this is a smorgasbord of information, all good, but some more relevant to me than others.
Live your Craft every day with Llewellyn's Witches' Companion, This indispensable guide will keep you one step ahead of the latest witchy trends, Craft practices, and Pagan issues.
This year's edition is filled with wry and thoughtprovoking essaystransitioning to a Pagan lifestyle, lessons in kindness from the grasshopper and the ant, Pagan Standard Time, witchy ways of eating, banishing and polarization, magick spells for kids, recognizing and combating the evil eye, a guide to smudging, creating your own magical moniker, and much more.

I read this book in just a few hours, It had been delivered to my local library from another town in the system, and I had a couple of hours to pass the time in the very chilly weather, and the illustrations captured me immediately.
I really enjoyed a few aspects of this book, such as the discussion of "fluffy bunny" slur, when it comes to New Age resonant individuals on their path, as well as listing recommended reading material, which I have written down extensively and will collect to read in the following

weeks.
I loved that when discussing working with children and spellcasting, that children are recognized as persons, and I was highly inspired and encouraged reading about the cognitive improvement scientifically stimulated with writing.
It was also very heartfelt to see that others perform harmonious, loving spells for the Earth, and her inhabitants! Will look into next year's version! Meh.
Llewellyn publishes so many of this sort of book that I thought I would pick one up to see what they were like.
After looking through it, I am surprised they make enough money on these year after year to continue publishing them.
This is basically a collection of articles written by members of the pagan community on a variety of pertinent topics: some were interesting, but most of them were fairly boring, or too niched to apply to anyone.
I enjoyed the articles by Monica Crosson, Autumn Damiana, and Emyme particularly, but nothing in this book is going to stick with me for very long.
I will probably not seek out another of these books, Having a different authors for each chapter was very enjoyable, Each chapter was written by a different authors covering a subject, fallowed by a brief description of the author.

I felt this was a good way to introduce you to authors, you may have not gotten a book from.

Each chapter was food for thought, and gave me something to consider, Llewellyn George started his publishing company in Portland, Oregon in, concentrating Astrological books and annuals, In, Carl L. Weschcke of St. Paul, Minnesota purchased the company and relocated it to the Midwest, Llewellyn is the worlds oldest and largest independent publisher of books for body, mind, and spirit, .
