Liber Telluris:  Essays on Earth Magic

edited by John Michael Greer

Until recently the modern magical revival has concentrated largely on celestial powers, whether those were represented by the gods and angels of the prophetic religions or the planetary forces of astrology. The archaic magical traditions at the root of the modern revival, though, reached as deep into the earth as they did into the heavens, leaving relics that baffle scholars and inspire occult philosophers today. In recent years, furthermore, the magical community has begun the hard but rewarding work of developing new magics rooted in the living earth to complement those that have survived from ancient times.

Liber Telluris: Essays on Earth Magic will contain original essays exploring ancient and modern earth-centered occultism, ranging across the while landscape of occult theory and practice, including ceremonial magic, natural magic, occult philosophy, magical religion, divination, alchemy, and more. Submissions of translated essays and source material from out-of-copyright foreign language sources are also invited. Submissions are welcome from first-time authors, experienced occult writers, and everything in between.

Essays should be between 6,000 and 12,000 words, unless special arrangements are made in advance; translations should be less than 12,000 words. Submissions must be in Word (.doc) or RTF (.rtf) format to be considered. Footnotes and a bibliography are recommended.

Please do not submit: fiction, poetry, accounts of personal experiences, pieces you’ve already published elsewhere, warmed-over rehashes of Wicca 101 books, or pieces promoting yourself as the inheritor of some conveniently untraceable yet allegedly ancient lineage. Submissions of these kinds will go straight into the trash can.

Liber Telluris: Essays on Earth Magic will be published in 2020 in fine and limited hardback editions by Azoth Press. Authors of pieces selected for inclusion in the volume will receive a share of the royalties from the sale of the book (the share per author will depend on the number of pieces accepted for publication).

To submit an essay, or to query about the suitability of a possible submission, contact the editor, John Michael Greer, at libertelluris (at) gmail (dot) com. To be considered for this project, submissions must be received by June 30, 2019.
