The Gay Witch’s Primal Urges Swell in Sweat this Summer Solstice

Issue #14 features a range of deep dives to keep your summer magic strong, celebratory, self-loving, and lusty. In the Summer Solstice 2026 edition, you’ll find:

• “You Can’t Look Away” by Hunter O’Hanian explores the mythological figure Beelzebul and connects his presence to the performative, empowering work of “Boylesque” artist Damien Lenore.
• “Rebellion in the Flesh” by Arkadios Vasco discusses the “queer occult current,” reclaiming bodily fluids (sweat, blood, semen, etc.) as sacred matter (“prima materia”) rather than impurities. The piece includes exercises for practitioners to witness their bodies without shame and perform rituals of fluid reclamation.
• “The Oracle and the Algorithm” by Eron Mazza examines the role of Artificial Intelligence in modern life and questions whether AI should act as a spiritual guide.
• “Discovering the Queer Sabbat” by Storm Faerywolf provides a guide to the Wheel of the Year, offering specific practices and historical contexts for celebrating solstices, equinoxes, and cross-quarter days for queer witches.
• “Lords, Give Us Strength” by Jeff Cullen explores physical fitness as ritual worship. He profiles deities associated with strength and provides a sample workout routine designed to be performed as a devotional act.
• We interview Nathan King, Minos of the Minoan Brotherhood, regarding his journey into witchcraft, the importance of integrity, and his book, Awakening the Witchblood.
• UNDERCURRENT by Copper Head Magick returns with chapter 2: Midsummer in the Ether
• The Incubi get Ruff with Allan Spiers, and Savage Rising gives us gluttony for Osiris’s blood
