Witch Eye #15: Call for Submissions

I think it can be agreed by all of us that Feri witches are a creative, opinionated bunch. So you'd think that we'd have *hundreds* of submissions for the next Witch Eye, right?

Well... we have a few... but it's not coming together yet, so here's what we want you to do...

Send us something. A ritual. A review. A piece of art. A story. Humor! Send us your really cool experience in trance that you feel like sharing... tell us what the Gods are inspiring in you. We're still interested in cool poetry, but keep in mind that we get mostly poetry as it is. But an essay... an article... a well mannered rant... Bring 'em on! Whatever little Feri thing you'd like to address, do it and send it in!

Or... if you just can't think of where to start, how about pondering some of these?

  • The Mighty Dead: Ancestral Reverence and Practice in Feri Magic
  • Love and the Craft: How has Feri impacted your relationships?
  • The Dangers of Feri. What exactly are they? And why does it sound so cool?
  • Art & Feri. Has Feri impacted your creative life? Are you dancing more? Making music? Are you suddenly creating art for the first time? Tell us!
  • You may have aligned your Three Souls, but you still can't use the car-pool lane.
  • Initiation. What it is. What it isn't. And why you may never need one. Or want one.
  • Dreams... We've collected dreams from folks that involve the late Victor Anderson. Do you have one?
  • Cursing. C'mon... you know you want to.
  • Ethics. Lost teachings of the tradition found!
  • Seeking the Black Heart. Exercises and Stories on the search for Feri's Holy Grail
  • Outside Looking In: Feri from a non-Feri Perspective
  • Witch Eye: The Swimsuit Issue. Send us your pictures! No, I'm not kidding...
  • The Divine Twins. Cornerstone of the Feri mythos and I still can't tell them apart.
  • Kala and the Pearl Pentacle: Is the community doing enough?
  • Classroom vs. the Coven, or why you are wrong to practice as you do
Our next theme, if we have one, will depend on what I get a lot of. But I love diversity, so send us whatever you want to write about! You can do it. We want material from all aspects of the Feri community: initiates, teachers, students, practitioners, and even educated seekers. You have over three months. Deadline isn't until September 1st! No excuses! Flex those Pride points!

Guidelines can be found here: http://www.feritradition.org/witcheye/submissions.htm
Send all submissions and questions to: witcheye@feritradition.org

Art wise, does it need to be Feri subject matter?

Not related...
But I found your LJ while researching Feri and thought I'd add you. Hope you don't mind.

faerywolf said...

I'd prefer it... but then that's really sort of a wide range anyway. Feel free to show me what you have in mind...

Re: Not related...
Not at all. Welcome to my friend's list. :)

Re: Not related...
Thanks!

The image that jumps to mind first is http://squish-art.com/portfolio/traditional/painting/53
A lot of my work is abstract, but spiritual. So its a question of if it needs to be recognizably Feri or not. :)

I have some stories I keep telling about how I've come to actually believe in the gods...perhaps I shall write them up! What's the deadline?

faerywolf said...

That sounds like a great idea! The deadline isn't until September 1st.

faerywolf said...

Looks good to me. :)
I always recommend sending a few things and then we pick and choose depending on the feel of the issue that is coming together.

gothicsquish said...

Alright, I have a feeling you'll hear from me soon :)

That's a good idea! I have a few things buzzing, but wasn't quite sure on the choice... So, that makes it easier on both sides. Going to put them together soon.

that's a lot of cool jumping-off points. i'll get some things together and send them over to you. :)
