Almanac.
By the moon, by the season.

A note from Bram.
The Almanac is for readers who notice the moon and the season and want a publisher who notices with them. We track lunar phases for the people who plant by them, and we name the cross-quarter days for the people who keep them. No astrology overlay. No woo. Just the rhythm.
Bram's first letter lands with the June issue.
