What the Witches' Almanac Is, and What It Isn't
The Witches' Almanac is not a reference book or a spellcraft manual you read once and shelve. It's a time-specific annual publication, now in its 45th consecutive issue, built around the calendar year from Spring 2026 through Spring 2027. Founded in 1971 by Elizabeth Pepper, former art director of Gourmet magazine, it has been published without interruption from its base in Rhode Island, making it one of the most enduring voices in the pagan publishing world.
Each issue is structured around a central elemental theme. Issue 45 takes up Water: The Mirror of Souls, examining water as a scrying medium, as the classical element linked to emotion, the unconscious, and the tidal rhythms that govern so much of traditional moon work. The essays, spells, and lore throughout the book all draw from this framework, giving the year a coherent magical throughline rather than a miscellaneous collection of content.
Witches Almanac 2026-2027: What's Inside
The core of every issue is a detailed moon calendar covering the full year, with lunar phases, void-of-course moon times, and astrological data for each month. This is the planning spine that practicing witches rely on for ritual timing. Around that calendar, the almanac weaves essays on geomancy, fixed stars, zodiac magic, lunar nodes, herbalism, mythology, and cultural traditions spanning multiple lineages, including this issue's treatment of orishas, kitchen witchery, and celestial deities connected to water.
The Witches' Almanac has a tone that sets it apart from mass-market spiritual publications: it is literate, often witty, and written for people who take their practice seriously. The Water theme lends itself naturally to work with scrying bowls, dream journaling, water-based offerings, and moon rituals tied to tidal energies. If you plan seasonal rituals, track moon phases, or use astrological timing in spellwork, this almanac functions as a practical working companion for the year, not just reading material.

How to Use The Witches' Almanac 2026-2027
How to get the most from this annual almanac as a working ritual calendar.
-
Map the Lunar Calendar First
Start with the moon calendar at the front of the almanac. Before each month, note the lunar phase, void-of-course times, and any astrological ingresses. Block these dates in your planner as anchor points for ritual work.
-
Work Through the Water Theme Essays
Read the seasonal essays tied to the Water theme. Each piece connects water symbolism, including ocean tides, scrying bowls, and the unconscious mind, to practical ritual applications you can incorporate throughout the year.
-
Return Monthly Throughout the Year
Use the almanac as a living reference: return to it each new moon and full moon to read the specific annotations for that lunation. The almanac rewards repeated use far more than a single cover-to-cover reading session.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I stock The Witches' Almanac because it's genuinely useful, not decorative. Fifty-plus years of continuous publication is rare in any niche, and it signals that this almanac has built a real following among practitioners who come back for it year after year. The Water theme for this issue aligns naturally with scrying, moon work, and emotional ritual practices that many of my customers already engage with. If you're building a magical library or looking for something that functions as a year-long ritual planning companion, this is it. You can also browse my full books and journals collection to find titles that round out your practice.
