My 2024 Almanac arrived yesterday. Full of handy, witchy information; moon phases, gardening tips, ideas for seasonal altar decorations, old folk songs and recipes. The utterly gorgeous front cover is a bonus. #witchcraft #folklore #almanacs

And this intentionally-inserted writing space gave the #Schreibkalender its name: a calendar to insert writing. These handwritten portions are to be found in thousands of calendars and are largely unstudied. They, in sum, make the Schreibkalender a very rich source for many historical departures. It is from this point that our project departed. We aim to make these sources from 1540-1800 accessible online. #history #almanacs

#December 29, 1704
#OTD Martha Daniel Logan, American #Botanist, is born.
After her #Husband died, Martha provided #Rare #Seeds & #Plants to the top #Botanists of her time & set up a #Seed exchange between the American #Colonies & #Britain.
She also wrote a #Gardening advice column & her #Gardener's Kalendar was on the back of #Almanacs for decades.
In 1761, John #Bartram wrote that Martha was, βan elderly #Widow #Lady who spares no pains or cost to oblige me: her #Garden is her #Delight."
