Hello my darlings and welcome
In this video I will be reviewing four different witch planners for 2024.
This video is also a give away.
I will be giving away all 4 planners and at the end I will be giving details for how you
can win one of them.
Let’s do some magical crafting
The first planner is called Year of the Witch 2024 weekly planner.
This planner was written by Temperance Alden, and I noticed that she has also developed
a 2024 wall calendar that corresponds to this weekly planner.
This is a small sized planner that will fit in a purse or bookbag.
It has bronze metal double loop binding and thick chipboard covers.
Both the front and back covers have inner pockets as well.
Let’s look inside.
The artwork is mostly line work in a limited color palette - black, tan and shades of blue.
I really like the simple color palette and cohesive design throughout, It has what we
have come to know as a classic witchy art aesthetic.with all of the subjects in black
silhouette.
There is a 2 page spread to write out your personal year of the witch.
I like this because you can personalize the holidays you celebrate, and you can personalize
it in the northern or southern hemispheres.
One of the things I am looking into is celebrating the full moons each month because the traditional
wheel of the year does not match my weather or climate in the least.
Each month begins with a two page spread that relates to the month ahead, whether it is
a ritual or a craft, a recipe or a spell.
For example, January is a Living Well New Year Ritual.
Next comes a monthly calendar showing all of the moon phases and some common holidays.
I would not say the squares are large enough to write in.
They could be used for habit tracking.
The next pages are the weekly planning pages.
These pages also have all of the moon phases as well as information about planetary movement.
I like the fact that there is a full day and the same number of lines for Saturday and
Sunday, and the weekend does not feel like it is thrown away or less important than weekdays.
The planner begins with an extra month at the beginning - December 2023, and January
2025 at the end.
It ends with note pages, and habit tracker pages.
I like the metal double loop binding, and the golden elastic band.
The second planner I am reviewing is the classic Lewellyn yearly planner - Llewellyn’s Witches’
Datebook 2024
I say “classic” because Llewellyn has been publishing these for years.
But, this is the first time I have purchased one.
It has thin glossy cardstock 4 color process printed covers and black plastic spiral binding.
The interior pages are black ink on cream paper.
Rather than a single author, this planner has eleven witchy contributors
There are a lot of pages in this planner before the calendar portion starts.
A table of contents and how to use this planner.
And then a lot of content you might find useful throughout the year.
I particularly enjoyed Morning Rituals for the Busy Witch by Mickie Mueller; who also
has a YouTube channel and I will link to her below.
Each month begins with a monthly calendar spread with moon phases and holidays.
It also notes planetary movements.
The side column for notes seems too small to write more than a single word on each line.
Now let’s look at the weekly planning pages.
There is one week shown on every two page spread and again there is a full space for
all 7 days.
Each day also shows the astrological zodiac information, planetary information, moon phase
information and gives a daily color
Some days also have little bits of advice on them, such as this note: For abundance,
wear agate.
The days also have icons that tell when it it is a good day to plan or harvest
Each weekly spread has Monday through Friday on the left with the weekends on the bottom
right.
The top right space on every spread is filled with artwork, short informational stories,
recipes and more.
The back of the planner includes an index of correspondences for colors, crystals, days
of the week, herbs and more
The planner concludes with some note pages, eclipses, full moons and planetary retrograde
information.
The third planner is called The Modern Day Witch. 2024 Wheel of the Year 17 month planner.
By Shawn Robbins and Leanna Greenaway
This is a soft cover perfect bound planner with a matte cover.
There are 14 pages of content before we get to the monthly planner pages.
The introduction, the wheel of the year, magickal moon phases and a ritual to draw down the
moon.
All of the printing inside of the planner is two-color - Black and a purple magenta
ink used in various shades.
All of the artwork is a vintage line drawing and wood cut style.
This planner starts in August 0f 2023 and goes through 2024.
Each month begins with a monthly calendar spread with some of the moon phases and holidays.
The side column for notes seems too small to write more than a single word on each line.
The weekly spreads have either artwork or an informational page on the left and the
week on the right, with the week days across the page and the weekends at the bottom side-by-side.
There are some cases where there are two weeks side-by-side instead of an informational page.
The margins are very wide and include all sorts of art elements that don’t really
add much to the page but they do reduce the amount of space there is to write.
This planner would be useful for jotting one small item down on each weekend day, and maybe
a top three priority list on week days depending on the size of your handwriting.
There are lots of ideas for simple spells sprinkled throughout the planners.
This book feels like a planner that really wanted to be a spell book, or visa versa
The fourth planner is a large format hard bound book: the 2023-2024 Making my own magic
planner by Selene Fayer
The interior is black and white and is a cross between a planner and a coloring book.
The planner starts with lots of informational pages and goal setting pages.
Places to write spells, A wheel of life to fill in, a bucket list and more
Each month begins with a calendar with all of the lunar, planetary and zodiac information
on it.
The information is large and prominent on each day so I do not think the monthly calendar
is a place to put many notes.
The second monthly overview spread includes notes section for the month and some other
planning elements and suggestions for each months energy and magical focus
The weekly pages are a single page per week.
All seven days sharing one page with a goals section, a notes section, a sleep tracker
and a next week note.
Each month ends with a gratitude page.
