The Cauldron is 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 has been published quarterly in the UK in February, May, August and November since 1976. 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 (now Pagan Dawn), mouthpiece of the Pagan Front (later the Pagan Federation). The Cauldron has been edited since inception by Michael Howard who “has been active among pagans and ritual magicians since the early 1960s.”
Michael Howard (1948-2015). Author, publisher, editor and folklorist Michael Howard was born in London in 1948, but spent most of his life living in the countryside where he first encountered Witchcraft. In 1976, Michael launched The Cauldron, a magazine dedicated to Witchcraft. For nearly 40 years, Michael poured his energy into editing this well-respected publication. He also published more than 30 books including The Magic of Runes: their origins and occult power (S. Weiser Inc, 1980), The Book of Fallen Angels (Holmes Pub Group, 2004), Pillars of Tubal Cain (Holmes Pub Group, 2001), Modern Wicca (Llewellyn, 2010), Children of Cain: A Study of Modern Traditional Witchcraft (Xoanon / Three Hands Press, 2011), The Witches Herbal (Red Thread Books, 2013).
