The Rebis is an annual tarot-themed print anthology of creative writing and art. This 114-page issue features the work of more than 30 writers, artists, and change-makers exploring themes found in The Star tarot card, including hope, inspiration, regeneration, and futurity.
These pages are filled with dreams, practical actions for change, and existential resilience. We go on unconventional healing journeys and transition into bodies that feel like home. We examine the connection between erotic power and collective liberation. There’s a vengeful underworld goddess, ancient mystery traditions, and Orphic hymns. We talk to birds, give up miracle cures, and go to queer yoga. We make kimchi with friends and deconstruct the cis-hetero nuclear family model. We travel to new worlds built after the old worlds fall.
In such a fraught present, the stories, poems, comics, essays, and art in this volume are rich with tales of hope amidst grief, liberation through crisis, and healing in unexpected places.
The content in this publication is evergreen and timeless. It’s designed to be held and savored. We invite you to explore this at your own pace, whether that’s reading from cover to cover or revisiting the material whenever you pull The Star card.
8x10 full-color print anthology, 114 pages. This is a beautiful book with a matte softcover, packed with stunning art, thought-provoking prose, and lots of tarot insight from more than 30 contributors. Editorial content spans short fiction, essays, memoirs, poetry, interviews, and creative non-fiction. There’s also an active journaling ritual, a tarot spread, and a recipe for kimchi! The issue features original paintings, illustrations, watercolor, photography, and a mind-blowingly cool comic strip.
