The latest issue of Hellebore is a little bit special as it is the Elemental issue for Beltane 2025. I have contributed an article on ‘Fairy Lepidoptera’ which shows the fae to be part of a shadowy tradition allied to the soul’s flight and to butterflies and moths. Also featuring in this issue are Francis Young, ‘An Earthly History of the British Gnome’ and Veronica Strang, ‘Summoning the Water Serpent’, together with lively essays on the wind and the witch, healing stones, stormbringers, and megaliths. The art work is outstanding and the issue is brilliantly edited by Maria L Perez Cuervo. If you haven’t familiarised yourself with Hellebore yet than this issue might be the one to get. The back catalogue is well worth an online browse too via helleborezine.com.
“The most erudite journal on the current scene to deal with Paganism, magic and folklore in the realms of modern history, fiction and popular culture… Ever-exciting and always accessible.” (Ronald Hutton)
