Cezanne's Carrot Magazine for Spiritual Writing

Cezanne's Carrot magazine presents short stories and creative non fiction that allow the backdrop of the spirit, the light of the cosmic sky, and the desire to move upwards into it, at times, to expand through it, and to merge down into the glowing consciousness of ground as well, with reverence for it. In a world of jaded literature where including the spiritual epiphanies if often disallowed, Cezanne's Carrot can warms us with the notion that it is indeed welcomed to combine both bold writing and to explore beyond the mundane world. Today, spiritual writing so often is in the form of seminars, say, telling us how to take their five easy spiritual steps to make a lot of money, convincing us that if we really image we will be rich, we will be rich, and that the law of abundance says if we are not, we are doing something wrong.

This magazine is not about manifesting, channeling generic masters, or unproven overarching statements so it may be more accessible to some who have become turned off by the facile tone of the spiritual writing world. While some of the pieces have less meat than some may be used to, and the art this issue takes a lot of advantage of Photoshop filters, people who are drawn to explore beyond the ordinary world in most literature may find things they resonate with. "At Cezanne's Carrot, words and images explore the higher aspects of human nature, the integration of inner and outer worlds, and the exciting threshold where the familiar meets the unknown.... It is published in alignment with the Earth's natural rhythms, on each Solstice and Equinox." The title is based on a quote from Paul Cezanne: "The day is coming when a single carrot, freshly observed, will set off a revolution."

The magazine provides a list of other magazines with magical realism, irrealism, experimental, and visionary, and spiritual writing, as well as groups of writers of this style networking together.
