The Cauldron


The Cauldron was a non-profit-making, independent, esoteric magazine featuring serious and in-depth articles on traditional witchcraft, Wicca, ancient and modern Paganism, magic and folklore. It was published quarterly in the UK in February, May, August and November between 1976 and 2015.
It was founded to cater for pagan witches, giving space in particular to non-Gardnerian traditions of witchcraft and so provided some balance to The Wiccan, the mouthpiece of the Pagan Front. During its lifetime The Cauldron was edited by Michael Howard who "has been active among pagans and ritual magicians since the early 1960s".
Contributions have included:
"The Leaves of Hekate – the Plant Lore of the Thessaly Witches" by Daniel A. Schulke, "Land Guardianship" by Sarah Lawless, "Traditional Fairy Lore" by Professor Ronald Hutton.
