Preternature
“My copy of the first issue just arrived; I wanted to write immediately to say how very impressed I am. It is beautiful physically and enticing intellectually, and I feel honoured to be named inside its cover. Congratulations to all of those involved!” —Diane Purkiss, Keble College, Oxford, United Kingdom
Preternature is an interdisciplinary forum for the study of the preternatural as seen in magics, witchcraft, spiritualism, occultism, prophecy, monstrophy, demonology, and folklore. The journal embraces a broad and dynamic definition of the preternatural, since the very categories of magic, religion, and science are open and active registers that the journal strives to explore, contextualize, and challenge.
