About the Magazine
Founded in 2015 | United States
Half Mystic Journal is an international and independent literary magazine dedicated to the celebration of music in all its forms. Our annual issues are limited edition, gorgeously-crafted, keepsake collections of art, lyrics, and writing featuring the work of 20 contributors in celebration of a specific musical theme. We believe in sacrifice and solitude, in dissonance and defiance, in wildflowers and wallflowers, in the mundane and the marvellous, in all things full of gods. We believe in listening to the ghosts. We believe in laughter so hard there’s no sound and in the still before the train comes. We believe in every verb. We believe in cataclysm. We believe in truth. And mostly? We believe in music. To be honest, even after eight years we’re not entirely sure what that means—but this project is our best attempt at figuring it out, one carefully-crafted release at a time.
