The Faerie Cat

We are now accepting submissions for the third issue of our biannual magazine, with a special focus on Celtic folklore, fae enchantment, and writing advice.

We welcome:

✨ Non-fiction articles exploring Celtic or Pagan traditions, faerie lore, seasonal rituals, or writing advice with a witchy or mythic twist.

✨ Poetry and short stories in the realms of fantasy, speculative fiction, and horror, especially those steeped in Celtic mythology or featuring the Fair Folk in all their wild and wondrous guises.

Let your stories whisper with old magic. Let your poems sing of twilight realms. Let your essays and advice kindle the creative fire in others who walk the liminal path.
