Welcome to The Almanac.
A living library for the rhythms that shape the natural world… and you.
An almanac has always been a book you consult. You open it when you want to know what's happening in the sky, what to plant, when to rest, when to begin. This one is no different, only the reference goes both outward and inward: the moon overhead and the moon in your chart, the season in the garden and the season you're in.
Here you'll find the foundations - the moon phases, the astrological seasons, the four elements, the seasonal celebrations (sabbats), and the practical work of growing and gardening.
If you're looking for reflective writing… essays on living by rhythm, wonder, and the ordinary made magical… you'll find those in Essays.
