Wort is a magazine that situates itself within the traditions of grassroots and folk herbalism, extending to adjacent plant practices. It is not a general-interest publication but one with a specific curatorial commitment: to writing that emerges from reverence for and service to the living earth, its plants, and its people. The journal understands herbalism as 'the people's medicine,' and its editorial stance is shaped by this democratic, anti-hierarchical view of plant knowledge. For its fifth issue, Wort seeks written submissions that reflect an intimacy with and experiential knowledge of medicinal plants as multidimensional living beings. The call is open to both lay and professional practitioners across all lifeways, lineages, and traditions, and it explicitly welcomes co- or collectively written pieces as well as author-artist collaborations. What distinguishes this opportunity is its insistence on lived experience and relational knowledge. Wort is not looking for detached academic essays or botanical surveys, but for writing that understands and lives plantwork as resistance and resilience. The magazine's focus on grassroots and folk herbalism signals an interest in knowledge systems that have often been marginalized by institutional science and commercial wellness culture. Contributors are invited to write from within these systems, not merely about them. The publication's scope includes adjacent plant practices, suggesting a broad but coherent field of inquiry that might include foraging, cultivation, preparation, ritual, and community-based healing. There is no submission fee, and the deadline is fixed for October 15, 2026. Wort does not specify a prize or payment in the provided information, and potential contributors should consult the submissions page on the website for full details. The magazine's editorial vision is one of reverence and service, and it seeks writing that embodies these values. This is a call for practitioners whose work is inseparable from their relationship with plants, and who can articulate that relationship with clarity and depth.
