The Witches' Almanac, Issue 33: Spring 2014 - Spring 2015: Mystic Earth Description
Since 1971, The Witches’ Almanac has been the source of fun, wisdom, trivia, and magical lore for hundreds of thousands of readers throughout the world. 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, interviews, mystic incantations, interviews, and many a curious tale of good and evil. Although it is an annual publication, only about 15 percent of the content is specific to the date range of each issue.
The theme of Issue 33 (Spring 2014 – Spring 2015) is Mystic Earth. Also included are articles on Ganesha, graveyard dust, Italian cimaruta amulets, veiled witches, and the legend of the Wicker Man.

I have purchased, consulted, and collected "The Witches' Almanac" since it debuted in the early 70's (with the exception of those few years when it mysteriously disappeared from publication). In fact, I still have my copies of the original spine-stapled, faux-woodblocked, "pamphlets".
The informative content, intriguing format, and atmospheric line-art lend a truly "magical" feel that is unequaled. Between the covers, little has changed over the decades. In this high-tech world of constant change, for that I am very grateful.
Issue 33 (Spring 2014-2015) continues the tradition with another year of the usual almanac offerings with an occult focus, including: mystical poem & prose, folklore, astrology, moon signs, planetary positions, herbal knowledge, spellwork, weather outlook, the mantic arts, historical perspectives, and much more-- from the mundane to the magical.
In addition to the traditional, annual offerings, there are articles with subject matter new to each issue.

My only complaint is purely a cosmetic one.
Over the last few years "The Witches'Almanac" cover has grown incressingly mainstream and commercial. While understandable, from a financial-survival viewpoint... aesthestically, I find it displeasing.
With Issue 33, this commercialism has reached new, unsatisfactory heights.
*Gone are any traces of the signature woodblock art which has been a "Witches' Almanac" standby.
*The delightful, attention-grabbing, mysterious introductory "Being a compendium..." paragraph has been unceremoniously relegated to the back cover.
*The once-prominent colophon and the trademark "ever a keepsake" motto have been pushed-off to the far left...
