Scavenged Rituals
We are a journal of comparative ritualism, printed and published quarterly. Our contributors discuss rituals from their diverse traditions and examine the meaning of their practice from their angle on reality. If you've ever found yourself wondering how the other occult half lives, we think you'll appreciate what you'll find inside!

Volume 1: Number 1
Consists of 52 full-color digest-sized pages and contains 9 illuminating articles authored by magical luminaries including M. Isidora Forrest, Daniel Yates, Scott Stenwick, Rev. Erik L. Arneson, an audio ritual from Revel∴Keats Rosz, and much more.
All issues of Scavenged Rituals include a QR-code linked to a streaming audio ritual. A limited number of initial run issues also include the ritual on phonographic disc. These are 5” embossed PETG discs that contain analog rather than digital audio, meaning you’ll need a turntable in order to play them. The discs are low-fidelity haunted objects that lend significant atmosphere to the audio ritual.
Released early April 2023.
Original price - With disc: £10/US$13 - No disc: £8/US$10
