The Witches' Almanac 2025–2026 Standard Edition Issue 44
Air: Breath of the Cosmos
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 will appeal to general readers as well as hard-core Wiccans. At one level, it is a pop reference that will fascinate anyone interested in folklore, mythology, and culture; 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 44 (Spring 2025–Spring 2026) is Air: Breath of the Cosmos. Also included are articles on: Geomancy, the Lunar Nodes, Native American Spirit Totems, Kitchen Magic — Soul Cakes, Gods of the Sky, the Orisha Yemoja, and much more.
Andrew Theitic is a prominent member of the New England pagan community. He became editor/publisher of The Witches’ Almanac Ltd. upon the death of founder Elizabeth Pepper in 2005. Theitic lives in Rhode Island.
