𝕳𝖊𝖑𝖑𝖊𝖇𝖔𝖗𝖊 𝖃𝕴𝕴𝕴.: 𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕰𝖑𝖊𝖒𝖊𝖓𝖙𝖆𝖑 𝕴𝖘𝖘𝖚𝖊 :: Something smarter than us is going to emerge

"Earth, water, fire and air: in classical philosophy, the four elements were seen as the building blocks of nature, each one later associated with a kind of supernatural being. Drawing from this foundational classification, The Elemental Issue examines our connection with natural forces. At times harsh and unforgiving, inspiring fear and awe, the four elements are a source of life, creativity, power and transformation. They also speak of an invisible realm and of our own transcendence.

Through myths and rituals and the works of Algernon Blackwood, Robert Graves and Derek Jarman, through the photographs of two young girls in Cottingley and the work of environmental activists, in this issue we encounter butterfly-winged fairies with shadowy intentions, mine-dwelling gnomes embodying our yearning for magic, and serpentine water deities to address the environmental crisis. Join us as we crawl between sacred stones to harness the power of water and earth, examine the movements of the sun from within a stone circle, and summon elemental forces from the rugged coasts of Britain."
