Death is not an ending, but a sacred turning of the wheel. As we release our 20th issue into the world and enter into a period of rest, we call in the spirit of death to usher in the next phase.

This magazine has always been a living spell, conjured by community, shaped by many pens, hearts, and voices. Christie and I have been its current caretakers and now we lay it gently down, trusting that it will rise again. Maybe in a different form, maybe under different guidance, but always in the spirit of sharing credible knowledge and uplifting the most marginalised amongst us.

To all of you who have taken this spectacular journey with us - thank you.

Autumn is chugging towards us at breakneck speed so here we are seeking out articles for what will be our final issue at the helm of Witchology!

After 5 brilliant years and 20 magical issues, Christie and I have made the super challenging decision to end our journey with the magazine. Sad times! We have loved curating this magazine, but other paths are commanding our attention and it is time for us to realign our planets and priorities.

Our goal with Witchology has always been to make sure that those who contributed were paid for their work. We have worked so hard over the years to ensure that this standard has been maintained without passing the cost onto the customer, however, the rising costs of everything plus the never ending burn out cycle of content creation have made this progressively more difficult.

We both have full time jobs and Witchology is our passion project for evenings and weekends, but as it gets more financially challenging to run, it has taken a lot of the joy out of creating it.

We are talking to a couple of people who are interested in potentially taking the magazine on, and will keep you informed if anything comes of this.

But in the meantime, we are hoping that you will join us as we go out with a bang on our last issue! We would also really appreciate it if you might consider contributing a piece without an invoice on this one occasion to help us wrap up the last few bills we have outstanding. We completely understand if you do not feel comfortable with this arrangement though, we know everyone has bills to pay!

The Autumn issue will be the DEATH ISSUE and the deadlines will be:

💀 Pitches - 11th August
💀 Final drafts - 19th August

We are looking for articles, photography, and poetry themed around:

⚰️ Necromancy
⚰️ Graveyard magic
⚰️ Death rituals
⚰️ Grief tending
⚰️ Underworld deities
⚰️ Souls and consciousness
⚰️ Seances and mediumship
⚰️ Spiritual signs
⚰️ Ghosts/spectres/phantoms
⚰️ Rituals for ending/letting go
⚰️ Ego death

We'd love to hear about different traditions and practices, or if you have an interesting take on what Death means to you, we'd love to read it!

☀️ Summer Issue Out Now! ☀️

Rebellion is woven into the very fabric of witchcraft. It is an act of resistance to work with the energy of the Earth in a world that seeks to strip it bare. It is an act of defiance to choose community over competition, intuition over obedience, and spellwork over silence.

This issue is a fierce celebration of those magical acts of rebellion. We are honoured to feature justice magic, protective charms, and tools for resistance from witches around the world standing at the crossroads of magic and activism.

Whether you're marching in the streets, healing the community, or tending your altar with intention - know that your magic matters, your rebellion is sacred, and you are not alone.

With love, radical hope, and a super cheeky cover 😉 we bring you

THE REBEL ISSUE!

In this issue you can:
🤘Listen to a rebellious playlist by Emma Cownley
✊ Explore the history of witchcraft activism with D.L. Lorrentz
🌿 Study herbs for the resistance with Kris Gurky
👹 Discover rebel folklore with Icy Sedgwick
❤️ Embrace radical self love with Nicholas Pearson
🌎 Decolonise your craft with Zoe Miller

But that’s not all - we've also got a wonderfully eclectic range of articles on everything from protective charms and dark goddesses to energetic hygiene and an incredibly tasty Black Sage cocktail.

We’ve put the utterly devilish Justin Townes on the cover of this issue, go give their account some love!
