Etched Offerings: Voices From the Cauldron of Story

Stories are acts of magick. It is through myths, both their creation and their retelling, that the gods are brought into our world. The myths of the past shaped the ancient world, and continue to influence and inform our lives today. However, new myths come into being all the time. Some are entirely unique, relevant to the modern world, while others pull at primordial threads, exploring timeless themes that still resonate. Dip your ladle into this cauldron of new fiction of, and for, the Old Ones, offered both to the gods and to you by nineteen authors, some well-known and some brand new, each with a distinct voice and style, and each with a very different story to tell. Read of ancient offerings, modern magickal crime fighters, and ordinary people finding a bit of unexpected magick in their everyday lives. The stories in this volume are as colorful and varied as the gods themselves, ranging from fantasy and horror to literary and even alternate history. There’s an offering here for every god—and every reader as well! Includes stories by several recognizable names from the Pagan community, as well as from small press fiction, including Inanna Gabriel, R.S. Bohn, Cory Thomas Hutcheson, Juleigh Howard-Hobson, and major-publisher author and Pagan musician Kenny Klein. Featuring an introduction by performing icon S.J. Tucker.
