Man, Myth & Magic: A Sunday Crossword

Samhain has come and gone, but I like to think the veil between worlds doesn’t snap shut at midnight. Perhaps it lingers a little, leaving the door ajar for those of us inclined to poke around in the stranger corners of existence. And what better way to spend a lazy Sunday than rummaging through the old occult cupboard? Alchemy, ancient gods, tarot, grimoires, elementals, and a few things that probably ought to be left undisturbed. I’ve gathered them all into a crossword for anyone who enjoys a little mental wandering through the mysterious and the arcane.

The title is a nod to Man, Myth & Magic, that wonderfully eclectic weekly encyclopedia of the supernatural published between 1970 and 1972. The sort of publication you could lose yourself in for hours, following one curious entry into another until you’d forgotten what you were originally looking for. Which, come to think of it, is pretty much how I like to explore the world anyway. So pour yourself a coffee, click a square, and see where your knowledge of the weird and wonderful takes you. The crossword remembers your progress, even if you wander off down another rabbit hole.
