I’ve selected some unique calendars for everyday use. Some are great mainly to make a note about your plans. Others have information about the Wiccan moon cycle, spells and legends. Learn about the God, the Goddess – and admire the beautiful artwork.
Learn about Wicca moon phases, planting calendars etc. The most popular wiccan and pagan calendars are created by Llewellyn.
As a witch you need a planner like everybody else: to keep track of appointments. But you also need a calendar to keep track of something most people ignore: the phases of the moon, the movement of the sun in the sky, conjunctions, mercury going retrograde… etc. You need all that to keep up with the Wiccan holidays and ceremonies. Whether it’s Samhain or Beltane, Litha or Mabon – their dates move with the moon, not the sun, so they’re hard to keep track of.
If you came here looking for THE Wiccan Calendar, I do really have only one to show you: the Witches’ Calendar by Llewellyn. It has pagan history, phases of the moon, seasonal essays on egg lore for instance around Easter. It is in fact packed as full of information as a calendar can get. It comes as a planner and a wall calendar (so that does make 2). Also check out the Witches’ Companion information, featured below.
There’s good reason they’re so popular: unlike other publishers, Llewellyn pulls out all the stops. You don’t just get a standard calendar with a nice picture each month. Sure, you get that.
However, you also get the stages of the moon, a monthly inspirational text on some theme (and yes, it’s different each year as well), information on herbs, rituals, the seasons etc.

Llewellyn’s Witches’ Spell-A-Day Almanac

Llewellyn’s Magical AlmanacWondering what the difference is with the ‘witches’ spell-a-day almanac? So was I, so I looked it up:

The Witches’ Almanac – NOT from Llewellyn, by Theitic instead
Very popular.
The Witches’ Almanac contains herbal secrets, advice about animals, mystical incantations, sacred rituals and many a curious tale of good and evil – just what every adept, occultist, witch and mortal alike should turn to every day for tips and tricks and thrills!
If it’s the world of witchcraft or the craft of witches that interests you or you have a hankering for some great folklore or mythology, find a dose a day in this popular and indispensable reference guide of notable celebrations, astrological forecasts, and other lesser known but interesting facts:
- A single magpie is especially associated with bad luck. Only one bird croaking persistently around a house sounds the death knell of the occupant while two magpies foretell good fortune.
- All hail garlic! During WWII, British doctors used garlic as a remedy for gangrene and mixed the herb’s juice with peat moss to bandage wounds. Funny that when Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip visited Rome a few years ago, the chefs were told to leave the menu garlic free!
- The black cat may be the best known Halloween feline, but orange-black-and-white calico cats have long enjoyed a connection with ill omens and the weird, too. That’s because this cat’s crazily mixed colors seem to mirror a chaotic inner personality.
- Dubbed by Eric Clapton “the most important blues musician that ever lived,” bluesman Robert Johnson is said to have sold his soul to the devil. The story has it that at a crossroads outside Robinsonville, Mississippi, Johnson met a large black man who took Johnson’s guitar and tuned it for him in exchange for his soul. Now there’s a case of sold-soul music!
- The ash tree is well named, since it is one of the few trees that will burn easily and steadily when still green. Encased in winged pods that resemble the keys that were used in medieval locks, this tree’s seeds are known as ash keys. In Northern Europe, the ash tree is thought to connect the underworld, earth, and heaven.
Llewellyn also sells pagan planners and almanacs, almost as popular as the witches calendar… Do check them out too.
Celebrate Female Energy
In honor of the spiritual Mother (the Goddess) and the sisterhood of those who share your beliefs, a Wiccan Calendar could take on several different formats. When searching there does not appear to be many that have been tagged with the term but there are some available for you to use.
Even though Wicca is relatively new as a modern form of witchcraft, Wiccans follow the philosophies, practices and ethics of the Old Religion which predates Christianity, Judaism and the Islamic faith. Honoring the earth and all of its inhabitants is essential to your faith and finding a calendar that reflects that will make the task of keeping organized a little more enjoyable.
How are the planets aligned?
In the practice of modern witchcraft or Wicca, being aware of the alignment of the planets and the phases of the moon is helpful on several different levels. Astrological calendars might be just the format that will work for you as go through your busy life of work and play. You may know that when the stars are in a certain pattern that it is a bad day to sign a binding contract or that this may be a day where luck is in your favor.
Keeping abreast of where the moon is in its phases can also be important for spellwork or other activities that you and the members of your coven may decide to celebrate together. There are many choices that could work for you.
What wiccans need to know about each year…
These calendars each come with information on the Spring and Fall equinox and the Summer and Winter solstice. Also included are the four main pagan holidays: Samhain, Imbolc, Beltane and Lammas.
Aside from that the phases of the moon will be included (as they are in many date books these days) for astrological reasons and because of the holidays celebrated at these times.

Do you believe in magic?
Oh, I am not talking about the slight of hand kind of magic, but the art of practicing magic spells and the energy of certain places that could be considered as magic places. There is the gift of some who may be able to connect with other realms of existence which have nothing to do with a man who is able to pull a rabbit out of his hat.
Magic calendars are not plentiful but there are some out there that may be of some inspiration while you keep track of those appointments, business and personal plus holidays, Sabbats, birthdays and anniversaries.
