ALTAR PUNK
Welcome to ALTAR PUNK! The idea for this zine came out of a blend of cultivating a “Punk Theology” and reclaiming discourse around faith and spirituality from the clutches of far-right nationalist movements. Punk Theology is a theology of liberation, largely seen through the lens of the Queercore, Riot Grrrl and early British Working Class punk movements. Like punk it is critical of both itself as well as the intuitions rallies against.
PaganPunk Community Grimoire (PCG)
A grimoire is a book of magic, typically including instructions on how to create magical objects, perform magical spells, summon supernatural entities, or recipes for magical tinctures, salves, etc.
A zine is a small, self-published work of original art, ideas, and images created either by one person or a very small group for limited circulation within a community.
The PaganPunk Community Grimoire (PCG) project seeks to marry the ideas of grimoires and zines into small, mutual aid knowledge sharing opportunities. This project draws inspiration from the leaflets created by the namesake of White Rose Witching to catalyze radical socio-political change, the zines of the early Queercore punk movement that fostered celebration and resistance from within the margins, and a love of arts and crafts projects.
