We’re not a typical literary magazine, we’re your guide for the season. Yes you’ll find poems and beautiful stories but there’s also reviews, recipes, and rituals. We want to provide a space for creatives and help you navigate the energy of the season whether it’s through prose or some kitchen magic, we’re here.
What We Are Looking For
We want your offerings. A flower, a candle, a memory. Altar is a space for your mythic and elemental stories. We want poetry that isn’t afraid of the darkness and revels in the light. That understands tension and feels like an ancient whisper from the forest floor. Stories and essays that transport us to other realms. Art that could live in a grimoire. Reviews that introduce us to new perspectives. Recipes and spells that nourish and conjure.
All things spiritual, nature-based, and visceral can find a home at our altar.
Issue One: Spirals and Stars
Submissions Open: January 23rd
Submissions Close: March 1st
Publication: April 2026
Our inaugural issue explores Spring and all that comes with it. Buds breaking through willow trees. Fresh blooms scenting the air. The return of the songbirds and rabbits. Ferns unraveling on the forest floor. Fertility magic, fae, gardens. New beginnings.
While the season is filled with new life and bright energy, there’s also abandoned nests, a struggle to break free from the cold, the chance of getting whisked away by the fae and never being seen again.
Give us your spring offerings.
Free! No charge for submissions. You may either submit via Duosuma (pending launch) or email us directly! All those selected for publication will receive a $5 payment, we hope to increase this in the future but for now we are just happy we are able to acknowledge your work through some form of payment.
