Happy new year, mystics!

We’re starting 2025 full of gratitude and ice cream. Thanks to everyone who contributed to issue #2: Ice and Soot, and to all who celebrated its launch with us. This little magazine is turning out way cooler than we could have come up with on our own—thanks to you!

Erratum: there was an print error in the crossword of Issue #2. If you have one of the initial copies, you might be missing these clues:

if your crossword is unsolvable, Carrington House is not to blame

We are now collecting submissions for Issue #3. Send us your words, images, and public-interest miscellany on the theme of Vulture + Phoenix (goodbye 2024, hello 2025!). Submissions are due by the new moon (January 29). Submit at bit.ly/iammystic.

Send in your questions to our advice columnist:

Do you have a problem you cannot seem to get past? Does your soul hurt? Would it help to hear a stranger say something you maybe need to hear? Do you want to be kinder, truer, braver? Send a letter, anonymously or not, to Sky at [email protected] by January 22 and read next month’s Mystic Moneymaker to get your answer.

Mark your calendars: the launch party for issue #3 will be Friday evening, February 7. More details coming soon.

Thank you for being here! See you around,

Aliza and John and Corryvreckan
