Call For Articles – Issue 3: Spirituality

Posted on 01/06/2025 by muntjac

Call For Articles

Issue 3: Spirituality

 

We’re looking for articles, poetry, prose, interviews*, direct responses to other pieces of writing and book/film reviews on Spirituality written by Global Majority** Anarchists and anti-authoritarians. The window for submissions will close on the 1st of October and the magazine will be released on Anarchist Martyrs Night (November 11th)***

 

A conflicting relationship between religion, mysticism, spirituality and anarchism has always existed. We’ve seen it play out so many times online, in organising spaces and the movements we’re a part of. Some find it incompatible with anarchist thought, some have beliefs rooted in (non) otherworldly forces without needing religion to explain it, whilst others find the spectra of religious and spiritual practices to be parallel to their anarchist ideals.

 

Few publications have considered the relationship between the compatibility and incompatibility of these ideologies, but even more so. none have ever created the space for exploration of all positions in between.

 

We encourage submissions of all – from the believers and non-believers, the practicing, the skeptical to outright disillusioned. The aim of this issue is to inspire critical thought and discussion. Areas of focus can include, but are not limited to: religious/spiritual/mystic anarchism, anarchist Abrahamic religious interpretations, parallels between anarchism and religion/spirituality/mysticism and power, anarchist theology etc.

 

Submissions are welcome in any language as long as we can translate it using online tools or if you’re happy to provide it in both English and another language. You do NOT need to write in an academic register. There is no minimum length, but a maximum would be around 4000 words, anything larger than that might be better off as an individual zine. (Which we’d love to help with!)

We prefer it when people send us their submission as plain text inside of an email or Signal DM (rather than attaching a cryptpad, Google Drive, Word document, Open Office file of ZIP of your submission.) as this takes more time to re-format and slows down our emails.

 

Our only advice would be to be honest, to be vulnerable. We, as a group vary widely: Some of us were raised in religious conservative communities in the diaspora here in England and as such, some of us walked away from spirituality as we grew older, some of us are converts, some of us are true believers, some of us are members of persecuted Ethno-Religious groups who are only here because of oppression by regional hegemonic powers.

 

Some of us have altars and some of us would refuse to bow before one.

 

*We can conduct these if you ask nicely and give us enough time and context.

**Global Majority in this context refers to the people(s) who make up the majority of the world’s population, i.e. everyone but white people.

***”The Galleanists commemorated three holidays each year: the anniversary of the start of the Paris Commune on March 18, May Day, and the anniversary of the Haymarket executions on November 11. Some of us have been commemorating November 11 as Anarchist Martyrs’ Night for the past four years, and we propose a more widespread revival of this tradition within the anarchist galaxy. Gather with friends, read aloud the words of our anarchist ancestors who died for Anarchy but more importantly those who lived for it, make offerings of fire and beauty.”

[From T*inderbox, Issue 2, “Ten Theses on Spiritual Anarchy”]

"Anarchists know that a long period of education must precede any great fundamental change in society, hence they do not believe in vote-begging, nor political campaigns, but rather in the development of self-thinking individuals."

Lucy Parsons - The Principles Of Anarchism, 1905
