A richly illustrated reference and guide to timekeeping, The Occult Almanac explores the esoteric traditions, celestial cycles, and hidden histories that shape the mystical year. It opens with an introduction to using the book--detailing the enduring role of almanacs in the occult tradition--and an overview of pagan calendars, lunar cycles, and astrological correspondences.
Following a history of occult calendars through the ages, each chapter is dedicated to one of the twelve months of the year. January through December, the almanac provides insight into the occult festivals (or sabbats) that fall during that month, as well as seasonal rituals, crystals, plants, and folklore, alongside woodcut-style illustrations.
A timeless resource, readers can return to it each year to align their spiritual practices with seasonal energies, celestial events, and ancient traditions.
