A surprising number of people I've talked to in the last few years have never heard of this thing. photo montage at the end is of the Almanac- some of the work that Elizabeth Pepper is best known for-
Also, I have to say that I miss the old Almanac, and I am not thrilled with the new covers; I miss the old style covers with the medieval, gothic type artwork. Thankfully the articles continue to be TOP notch.
The "Witches Almanac" has been part of my annual collection for close to 10 years. It's a wonderful almanac, with great thought out and thoughtful articles. Like you, I was surprised when I first purchased the almanac, back in the early 1990’s that so few people in the “Witch World” knew about Elizabeth Pepper. But the truth is that Ms. Pepper was a very private person and wide spread notoriety was not what she sought, at least that is the impression I got the one time I spoke to her, in 1999.
