About the author
Elizabeth Pepper was the founder and longtime editor of The Witches' Almanac, the annual publication on witchcraft, folklore and seasonal lore that she launched in 1971 and shepherded for decades. The books listed here, including Witches All: A Treasury from Past Editions of the Witches' Almanac, Magic Spells and Incantations and Love Charms, are drawn directly from that almanac's back issues, gathering material on witchcraft theory and practice, moon lore, spellcraft and love charms into standalone collections. Pepper's writing moves between practical instruction and folkloric compilation, presenting spells, incantations and lunar traditions as inherited material rather than personal invention. Her books remain in print through the Witches Almanac imprint and are commonly read by newcomers to Wiccan and witchcraft practice as well as by longtime readers of the almanac itself, who know her name as inseparable from that publication's history.
