The Witches’ Almanac, Issue 37, Spring 2018-2019: The Magic of Plants


Founded in 1971, The Witches’ Almanac is a witty, literate, and sophisticated publication that appeals 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, its subject matter is timeless―only about 15 percent of the content is specific to the date range of each issue.
The theme of Issue 37 (Spring 2018–Spring 2019) is the magic of plants. Also included are the following articles: “Sigil Witchery,” “The Witch of Hadley,” “SeerStones,” “Astrological Plant Remedies,” “Pomba Gira,” “Coffin Ring,” and “Coefficient of Weirdness, Part 2.”

The Old Farmer's Almanac 2018 Gardening Calendar

Every year my parents would buy the old Farmer's Almanac. It was one of those little books you would find laying in a chair on the front porch. Now-ah-days you can find the Almanac and the Almanac Calendar which I talk about here. 


A perennial favorite for more than 40 years: 
this remarkable calendar offers beautiful full-color illustrations and timely gardening advice, fun facts, quotes, and lore. Special bonus: A "best days" table tells when to plant 36 vegetables and grains according to the Moon's phases and regional climate.

Biography

The Old Farmer's Almanac is North America's best-selling periodical and oldest almanac—started in 1792 (during George Washington's first term as president). A calendar of the heavens, The Old Farmer's Almanac speaks to all walks of life: forecasts for those who don't like the question of weather left up in the air; tide tables for those who live near the ocean; sunrise and planting charts for those who garden; recipes for those who live in the kitchen; Moon phases for those who love to watch the sky; folklore, wit, wisdom, home remedies, healthy living, and advice. The words of our founder, Robert B. Thomas, guide us still: "strive always to be useful, but with a pleasant degree of humor." The famous Almanac also publishes calendars, cookbooks, gardening guides, weather journals, digital magazines, apps, and more.
