The New Moon occurred in a conjunction to female warrior asteroid Pallas Athene, and this particularly indicates an unfolding of events related to the ongoing strategic battle (Pallas Athene) to get the truth out (Sagittarius).
In light of this astrological context, I'm happy to release into the world a new Willow's Web Astrology zine. Fitting for the Jupiter-influenced lunar month, this is the biggest zine I've ever produced at a whopping 48 pages.
What happens when you repeatedly have your perspective pushed out of the collective discourse?
What do you do when the information you're laying down keeps getting censored and rejected?
Why, you write a zine about it, of course!
"Mercury-Black Moon Lilith Contacts, Censorship, and Reporting from the Fringes" is a 48-page zine that outlines a history of being censored throughout my career as a journalist, writer, and artist in both mainstream and alternative circles.
This zine is an illustrative tale that shows an ongoing filtering of media and art to produce a very cleansed and skewed version of reality with no risk of anyone ever being disturbed or offended (despite the highly-disturbing and offensive matters going on daily on this planet).
I connect the censorship experiences to a hard Mercury-Black Moon Lilith aspect in the natal chart, although you do not need to know anything about astrology to read this zine.
Included in this zine is reporting and photo-journalism from the Free Trade Area of the Americas protest in Quebec City in 2001.
This zine is $6 plus postage, and it can be found at the Willow's Web Astrology Etsy shop.

Some good news to report for this Sagittarian lunar cycle:
After many rejections, I finally found a second hand bookstore in my town that will try to sell my zines.
And after contacting 20 libraries in the area (with many rejections or ignores), I got a response from two that were at least interested in zines.
It's been very difficult to find a public outlet for zines in this area. I've been trying to make one or find one since 2016. So while this is a small bit of progress, it's actually pretty big to finally have a tiny toe-hold in this area.
That said, my zines have been sold at Camas Bookstore in Victoria, BC and Spartacus Books in Vancouver, BC, and they are also available at the University of Victoria zine library. The Dystopian Flames zine can be found at Mount Royal University zine collection, as well.
