This review is from: The Witch's Book of Days (Paperback)
When I first purchased this amazing book, I used it like a pagan self-discovery calendar. I wrote notes all through it, and keep it by my bedside, like a companion! Now I have an unmarked copy I keep close by- making notes elsewhere if I feel so inclined. I really adore this book! The authors are generous with their information, and speak warmly in the text.
The book is set up in "tree months" which coincide with uk/european trees and woody plants as the months. i.e.: holly, reed, oak, vine, etc.
At the beginning of each month is a chapter introducing the tree and it's spiritual story, as well as thoughts written by the witchy women who wrote it, sharing totem histories and personal pagan stories including those about collecting/making their own tools of the craft. Their information is feminist in vibe and words as well as enlightening in many ways.
The months therein are laid out, like a day-at-a-glance calendar, but with notes about historic women and goddesses and pagan/nature holidays which overlap the days.
Example:
Today's entry-
Oak month- May 7- It is time to name your personal Goddess.
Tomorrow's entry-
Oak month- May 8- Furry dance to honor Maid Marian as the female part of the Green Man. Feel your bare feet in the grass.
I hope that was helpful, and that you will enjoy this wonderful resource as much as I do-
Blessed Be!
