The Rebis is a print publication dedicated to exploring the intersection of tarot and creativity through original art, essays, fiction, and poetry. Each annual issue focuses on a single tarot card, bringing together an international group of artists and writers to delve into its psychology, mythology, spirituality, and artistic beauty.

The Rebis

The fifth anthology of The Rebis will focus on The Moon (XVIII), and we are open for submissions from January 18-February 17 at 12pm PT.  

As with previous issues, the work should be deeply intimate. Send us work that is subversive, provocative, erotic, and deliciously alive.

Poetry submissions: Please submit no more than 3 poems for consideration. Please put each poem on a separate page in a single document and upload the document. 

For this issue, we do not want to rehearse familiar themes. We want to encounter The Moon as an initiatory field, as a threshold state where current ways of knowing fall apart and something stranger begins to speak.

Our core thematic interests center on liminality and relational consciousness. This includes nonlinear time, ancestry, grief, and ways of living that resist Western logics of coherence. We are drawn to borderlands, intersections between human and nonhuman, domestic and wild, self and other. Share poems of tidal intelligence, of submersion, flood states, brackish zones, amniotic memory. Explore different lunar states beyond full and new moons (progressed lunations! eclipses!). Scry us into subcultural spaces and underground worlds, sites of initiation and collective (un)becoming. Ground your work in decolonial, Black, feminist, and mythic frameworks.
