This year's issue of the Datebook contains everything you have come to
expect -- a list of Full Moons, eclipses, Planetary Retrogrades, and Moon
Void-of-Course Data and a short personal phone book, as well as the usual
astronomical/astrological data for each day. The inclusion of recipes,
illustrations, stories and such on the odd-numbered pages adds some spice to
your reading.
There isn't a lot of room for notes, as each day only takes up about 5
square inches -- and half of that is often taken up with data already. Of
course, this can be an incentive to keep your notes short and to the point.
The Datebook starts with a series of articles on everything from scrying to
Stone Magic and Autumn Enchantments to cause and Effect.
One major plus for this book, as opposed to many of the other almanacs
Llewellyn produces annually, is that it is spiral bound, so it is easy to
lay it open and expect it to remain open. It is a bit more expensive than
most of the almanacs, but I suspect that the spiral binding is responsible
for that.
