Hey everyone! I'm starting a zine about queer paganism called the Bent Pentacle and I'm looking for contributions in the form of stories, drawings, poems, experiances, rants, doodles, or anything else you can think of that can be photocopied! Here is some blurb I wrote for the Myspace page (www.myspace.com/thebentpentacle). Please check it out and add the Bent pentacle as your friend if you're on myspace, and please repost this widely!

"The Bent Pentical is currently seeking contributions for its first issue which will be out for Samhain on November 1st. As this is the first issue there will be a loose theme of "begginings", which can be interpreted, adapted, or ignored at the author's discression. I'm looking for a real range of stuff, whether it be poetry, art, debates, experiances, tips, rants, spells, or anything else. Anything that's printable and vaugely relavant! Anything can be printed anonymously or under a sudonym, or you can include your email address and invite responces.

The deadline for entries is friday October 17th, please email them to gokristofski@hotmail.co.uk with "bent pentacle submission" in the title. Please send any images as jpeg files. If you decide to submit something it would be helpful to let us know as soon as you do, this will help us to plan the issue and make sure we have a good range of pieces.

I've decided to start the Bent Pentacle as an outlet for people to share information, experiance and stories of queer paganism with others. I hope it will allow those who identify with queer to see how paganism and spirituality can be relevant to their views on gender and sex, and that it will be of interest to pagans who want more information about what queer could have to do with their path, as well as anyone else with an interest in the queer experiance, or pagan spirituality, or both. It will be available in hard copy and also as a downloadable pdf and as an accessable word file. "
