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
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.
