THE WITCHES ALMANAC ISSUE 43: FIRE: FORGING FREEDOM

The Witches’ Almanac is a sophisticated publication appealing to general readers as well as hardcore Wiccans.

Founded in 1971 by Elizabeth Pepper, the art director of Gourmet magazine for many years, The Witches’ Almanac is a witty, literate, and sophisticated publication that appeals to all those devoted to the Craft. At one level, it is a pop reference that will fascinate anyone interested in folklore, mythology, and culture; but at another, it is the most sophisticated and wide-ranging annual guide available today for the mystic enthusiast.

Modeled after the Old Farmers’ Almanac, it includes information related to the annual moon calendar (weather forecasts and horoscopes), as well as legends, rituals, herbal secrets, mystic incantations, interviews, and many a curious tale of good and evil. Although it is an annual publication, much of the content is both current and timeless—not specific to the date range of each issue.

The theme of Issue 43 (Spring 2024 Spring 2025) is Fire: Forging Freedom, includes all of the usual features: Kitchen Magic, Geomancy, Talismans, Aesop’s Fables as well as the ever popular Moon Calendar and Presage of Horoscopes. Also included are other obscurities amongst which are, Expanding Consciousness Through Vocal Toning, Fixed Star Albireo: Jewels in the Mouth of the Swan, The Orisha Obàtálá and much more.
