About

We are looking for submissions that reflect and encompass “Celtica” through its long and rich culture, history, mythology, mysticism and spirituality. Though Celtic heritage is generally thought of as belonging to the Celtic nations of Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Cornwall, Isle of Man, and Brittany, we are also interested in that of descendants of Celts spread throughout the world through the Celtic Diaspora. Open to all writers, any style is welcome as long as it is Celtic-themed. We do favor writing that evokes the ancientness of Celtica as well as a sense of its timelessness. We like beautiful, strong, creative language and unique perspectives. Please, no erotica, excessive profanity or tirades. Plagiarism will NOT be tolerated. We highly recommend that you review a sample copy of our journal to get a feel for what we like to publish.
