SWAMP AND SPARK

Reflections on Issue #3 and a springy new theme

Hello Mystics!

Many, many thanks for making Vulture + Phoenix an incredible collection. Issue #3 is packed with goodness from around the world! There’s thrifting and political resistance, song and sound advice, an epic selection of puzzles and a hidden cocktail recipe.

You can find the PDF of Vulture + Phoenix at our online archive. You can find a physical copy wherever John and Aliza can be found, and if you’re subscribed as a Mystic Moneygiver you’ll be getting your copy in the mail real soon.

Vulture + Phoenix took flight at a delightful launch party

One question that came up at the party is: can my friend send in their story/poem/art/thoughts? As the magazine has taken off, it has been really cool to see it growing organically. People sending in the things they would like to see in print, and spreading the word to their friends. Which is to say, the answer is a resounding YES! If you know someone who makes cool stuff, here’s what you can tell them:

  • Next up: SWAMP AND SPARK. A luscious, lively theme as we look ahead to the coming of spring.

  • Keep an eye on the moon. Submissions are due on March 14, which is the full moon and also a lunar eclipse. Submit your work at bit.ly/iammystic.

If you want to help the mag live up to its name, you can become a paid subscriber. You’ll receive a printed copy of each edition when it publishes:

We’re so glad you’re here.

Aliza, John, and Corry
