Eternal Haunted Summer<\/strong><\/em> (EHS)<\/strong>\u00a0is an ezine dedicated to 1) original poetry and 2) short fiction about the Gods and Goddesses and heroes of the world\u2019s many Pagan traditions. We feature 3) reviews of books, graphic novels, academic journals, magazines, movies, plays, and so forth which have a Pagan focus, or which otherwise might interest our Pagan readership. And 4) interviews with established and new Pagan authors, or authors of texts that interest a Pagan audience. And finally, 5) essays concerning the Gods, Goddesses, heroes, myths and folklore of the world.<\/p>\n

Submission Guidelines<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0We\u2019re looking for hymns to Odin and Inanna and Sekhmet. Prayers to Hermes and Brigid and Asherah. Short stories featuring (or otherwise referencing) Lugh and Yinepu and Hekate. Every poetic form, from sonnet to rhyming couplet to free form, is acceptable. There is no set length. Any genre of short story is welcome, from mystery to fantasy to true lifeish to reimaginings of classic myths, provided the Deities and heroes are treated respectfully (no bashing someone else\u2019s Gods, please!). There is no length limit, but if you are planning to write a novella, please discuss that with the editors of\u00a0EHS<\/strong>\u00a0in advance; any story over 5000 words will likely be serialized across two or more issues.<\/p>\n

Poems or stories that feature Deities from pantheons generally considered to be outside the Pagan umbrella, but which are still from polytheistic traditions \u2014 such as a poem to the Hawaiian Pele or a short story focusing on the Shinto Amaterasu-omikami \u2014 are absolutely welcome. The wider the diversity of traditions represented, the happier the editors are.<\/p>\n

We are also interested in essays which address the nature of the Deities, the mythologies of the various pantheons, folklore, ritual, et cetera and et cetera. So, for example, we would be keen to read your essay on Hermanubis and how He relates to Hermes and Anubis. Or, your essay examining primary sources for The Cailleach. Or, a discussion of the evolution of Veles from (benevolent) God of the Underworld to (Christian) demon and how Polish and Slavic Pagans are resurrecting His worship.<\/p>\n
