Announcing the contributors for The Rebis: Chariot

A creative community of writers, artists & tarotists

We have grown in so many ways since our inaugural Wheel of Fortune issue.

Last year, there were 15 writers and artists contributing to The Rebis. This year, there are 28 of us spread out across the globe. (You’ll see some familiar names on the list — there are a few folks who contributed last year!) Every contributor shows up with their own unique ancestry, life experiences, personal stories, and deeply creative spirits. I feel honored to have the opportunity to bring everyone together under one roof.

When we first put out a call for proposals back in May, I didn’t know what to expect. It was the first time we publicly asked for submissions. I was overwhelmed and overjoyed by the volume of messages and sincerely found it difficult to whittle down the list. I reviewed each proposal with careful consideration, along with feedback from Maria, our guest editor, and Xaviera, our creative director. We looked for diversity across creative techniques, energies, and viewpoints — we sought originality and ideas that reject dominant narratives.

I was especially interested in featuring different styles of creative writing and am so pleased that we’ll be publishing a combination of essays, creative nonfiction, poetry, prose, and flash fiction. There are multiple journal prompts and tarot spreads, and an incredible Chariot-inspired ritual guide. In short, this issue will be packed with stunning art, provocative prose, and lots of tarot insight.

Today, I’m so excited to share the full list of contributors with you all. I encourage you to explore their work and follow them on social media. This community is full of activists, educators, and dreamers, and their work is fueled by passion, curiosity, and hope.

To our beautiful contributors: I am so grateful that you trust The Rebis to edit your words and shape your art. It’s such an honor to give your work a home, and to share your voice and visions with the world.

The Rebis: Chariot will be available for pre-order later this summer, and shipping in the early fall.
