Airmid's Journal is a biannual journal of Irish foraging, folklore, myth, magic, and remedies. Each issue is intended to be an ever-growing tapestry of stories, woven together with the plants of this land. Old stories, new stories, personal tales, and present spells.
IN THIS ISSUE:
'The universe is not only queerer than we suppose, it is queerer than we can suppose.' (Words by Evolutionary biologist J.B.S Haldane (1928)
These pages invoke Aiteach, Queerness, as a mythic home-coming; an expansive place to be longing for and belonging to in the shifting landscapes of our times. It is a place that has always existed, thriving in relationship, and yet is undefinable, borderless and as expansive as the queer blue sea.
Edited by Lucy O’Hagan and Denise Conroy. Illustration and Layout by Denise Conroy.
With contributions from: Denise Conroy Fer Éinleabtha, Queer Sheds Tadhg Mac Eoghain Home scars, Brian Lacey Queer Ireland, Amir Abu Alrob Forbidden Love, Santiago Rial Of grá and Irish lads, Rev Llewyn Máire Botanical invocations (after Sappho), Aster Reem David Sowing Solidarity, Dylan Kerr An Maighdean Mhara, El Reid-Buckley An introduction to fermented intimacies, Bulelani Mfaco Love Hurts, Sage Jaffrey My Body, My Territory, Denise Conroy Beyond Duality and Lucy Ní hAodhagáin Arán Dearcán.
This issue of Airmid’s Journal is an invitation to the reader to fruit, to emerge, to feel their own belonging with this wildly queer world and the many species spanning billions of years who join in chorus with them.
