Songs of the Stars.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-background\">This issue is dedicated to the folklore and mythology of the cosmos. From planetary and constellation-naming conventions to the progression of the Equinoxes and the tilt of Earth\u2019s axis, as long as there have been humans looking at the sky, there have been stories about the lights we find there. In ancient cultures, the dead walked the \u201cstarry path\u201d of the Milky Way. Arianrhod of Welsh legend held her \u201cspiral castle\u201d in the heart of the Corona Borealis. The North Star and the Southern Cross have aided navigators to explore the world for centuries. The Seven Sisters, Alcyone, Asterope, Celaeno, Electra, Maia, Merope, and Taygete, were the daughters of Atlas who were placed in the heavens to protect them from Orion the Hunter.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-background\">Wishing upon a star, shooting stars, falling stars, astrology, magic and alchemy, and we are all stardust; the stars shift and change meaning with time and culture.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-background\">We once understood time by the appearance of certain stars. Ursa Major heralds the spring in the northern hemisphere and the Summer Triangle, Deneb,Vega and Altair, appear when summer has arrived.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-background\">In literature, film and popular culture, we fancy that we have a special star of our own or that we can travel through them, seeking new worlds and even living among the star systems on ships and in habitats. Or we imagine being visited by explorers from afar.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-background\">This coming spring 2026, we are seeking papers, essays and book reviews that explore the lore of the cosmos from across cultures and times. This journal accepts papers from many disciplines and is welcoming of all faiths and philosophies. We publish 3-5 papers per issue that have been peer-reviewed according to academic standards.
