The Sabbath Witch's Almanac: A Year of Jewish Folk Magic Through 12 Hebrew Months (The Jew-itch's Grimoire)

What if your year had twelve doors instead of one January?

You found the Jewish part of your story late, through a DNA result or a grandmother's hint or a pull you could never name; or you have known it your whole life and never had the practice. This companion was built for the returner, the seeker, and the skeptic alike, and it asks no Hebrew fluency to begin.

A practice companion to The Sabbath Witch and Hebrew Letter Magic , organized around the twelve Hebrew lunar months your ancestors lived by. Each month opens with an essay that gives you its atmosphere, its letter, and its holidays, then carries you through with a practice or two a week, sized for a real life, plus the day-by-day count of the Omer in spring.

Across the year:
• A monthly essay for each of the twelve Hebrew months, so you feel why Elul is not Nisan
• A practice or two each week, kitchen-doable, with the salt, candle, bread, and water already in your home
• The full 49-day count of the Omer, the one stretch kept day by day, a quality for each day
• Every teaching tied to a named, checkable source: the Sefer Yetzirah , the Talmud, the Cairo Genizah, Sefer Raziel HaMalakh
• The return of Tishrei, the kindling of Hanukkah, the new year of the trees, the structured grief of Av, the synthesis of Elul
• A glossary, a pronunciation guide, and a chart of all twenty-two letters, so nothing gates you out

This is heirloom Jewish folk magic, source-cited and non-syncretic. The tradition with its receipts, not a repackaged blend. A practice you can keep, not a daily streak you break.

Open any month. The year is already waiting.
