Many say that magic is remembered, not learned.  Of course, there must always be room for growth and education in any endeavor, but if this is true, how are we remembering?  Whether or not we ever saw our mothers or grandmothers gather herbs, talk to trees or walk barefoot on frozen grass to welcome the Yule, these may be things we are drawn to do, or learn to do.  Have you ever waded in the ocean or a river barefoot just to feel the water and bottom?  Have you had that overwhelming feeling, when out in nature, to take off your shoes so you can feel the dirt, leaves and brambles?  Have you ever wanted to just grab all the herb plants at the grocery store and take them home just to love them?  If you have never seen these practices in your family, you may simply be remembering them from a time so ancient that your mother and grandmother may not remember them.  “Why us? Why now?” you may say, but the answer is why not now?  Has there ever been a point in your lifetime that remembering who you really are was more crucial?

​

The new anthology, Born Remembering, seeks to present as many answers as it may raise questions.  You may have left a long observed religious tradition in your family or found yourself drawn to educate yourself on the roots of your bloodline to find out why you want to sing to the moon or dance barefoot in the dew clad grass.  Whether you call yourself Witch, Wiccan, Awakened Woman, Pagan, Heathen, Druid or something else, you know you are drawn to things ancient to interpret them through the lens of our current world. We are looking for everything from the results of your search to the fire of civil disobedience. 

​

Poetry, art and literature have always been catalysts for change.  We often get away with being more outspoken about politics, religion and the state of the world than even the most revered journalist.  Born Remembering has the opportunity to become an impetus for a movement that may, in the future, be called a civil war of it’s own kind in the annuls of history.

​

This is our fourth anthology!  Four is the number of foundations, of building and our purpose has always been to encourage community.  A safe place for poets and artists to share their visions with the world.  

If you’ve worked with us before, welcome back!  If you have not, welcome and we’re looking forward to getting to know you and your art.
