Welcome to the December 2022 issue of ev0ke: witchcraft*paganism*lifestyle! We have so many awesome offerings for you this month, many of them centered around the theme of astrology!
First, two quick notes. For the past several years, subscriptions to ev0ke have been only $3US. Come January 2023, that will change to $5US/month or $30/year. The reason for that is — we are now open to submissions! ev0ke is looking for art, essays, fiction, interviews, lifestyle articles, poetry, and reviews. A complete list of our upcoming themes, as well as the accompanying ev0king the Question, can be found on our Submissions page. Payment is $5 plus a free subscription to ev0ke. Submissions are open the first to the fifteenth of each month.
On to the new issue!
First up is our brand-new Featured Article section. This month, we have an exclusive tarot reading courtesy of Tarotfellow. In Essays, guest author Gabrielle Nightshade delves into social media with “Magick on Mastodon: A How-To Guide to Decentralized Social Media,” while Ashley Nicole Hunter offers “Teach Yourself Astrology: Four Free Resources to Begin a Relationship With the Stars.” Scriba returns with a new ev0king the Green, this time looking at “Herbal Allies for Learning Astrology.” In ev0king the Moon, guest Elen Sentier offers suggestions for how to “Rewild Your Heart.” And in ev0king the Question, regular and guest contributors address the question “Do the Gods Have a Gender?” We also have an Interview this month with astrologer and author, Bill Duvendack. In Lifestyle, Ashley Nicole Hunter has two pieces, both filled with beautiful free graphics: “Which Zodiac Sign Are You?” and “Zodiac Mantras For Your Phone.” Finally, we have three Reviews: “Of Visions and Secrets” by Kathryn Ann Kingsley, “On Writing (And Reading!)
