As someone’s who’s fascinated by the occult, witchcraft, and everything on the other side of the veil, HELLEBORE ZINE looks like it will be my happy place. Each issue is a collection of occult histories and captivating folk horror stories from around the UK, accompanied by enthralling artwork that transports me into the dark and twisted tales. I can really see the care and work that goes into each issue, from the curation of the stories to the captivating, bold visuals. This is a zine for witches, warlocks, gothic priestesses and priests, researchers of the weird and the supernatural, and anyone obsessed with all the unearthly things we live alongside that neither science nor religion can explain. If that sounds like you, then make sure you order issues here. You can keep an eye on their IG account for pre-orders and teasers from upcoming issues, and to see which of their back issues you want in your collection. Check them out below…
Hellebore is a poisonous plant that has the power of altering perception, and it is thought to be one of the main ingredients for the witches’ flying ointment. Associated with the water element, it is known for opening up portals to the Underworld and the subconscious.
