EDGEWISE
WORDS FROM THE THRESHOLD
A5 magazine, 72 pages, perfect binding.
This inaugural issue of Edgewise serves as an establishment of the founding remit of this publication - to give a voice to the practiced, a platform to those who go beyond the page and put what is written into ritual. Inside this issue you will find the voices of those who have wandered, explored, experimented and experienced. These are the insights and offerings of both success and of failure, shared so that others might learn and grow.

CONTRIBUTIONS
EDGEWISE seeks contributions from practitioners on the threshold - witches, pagans, cunning folk, occultists, animists, folk-magicians, ritualists, and those who walk between.
We are looking for writing that is: Lived, not hypothetical; personal, not explanatory; unvarnished, not aesthetic. Tell us what happened. Tell us what changed. Tell us what it cost.
Accepting: personal accounts of ritual or praxis, field notes (short, immediate, sensory), dispatches from a moment of threshold, photographs or scans of working objects / notebooks, sigils, diagrams, or visual testimony
Not accepting: general essays on belief systems, theory without lived experience, plagiarised content, AI-generated waffle
Word counts: Feature pieces: 1200–1500 words / Short articles / insights: 400–800 words / Fragments, dispatches: 150–300. Longer pieces would be considered on a case by case basis.
Format: Submit as .doc, .txt, or pasted into an email. If sending images, 300dpi preferred. Anonymity is welcome. Use your craft name if needed.
Tone: Raw and archival. Write as though you are preserving evidence for a future archaeologist of the occult.
