The Beltane Papers has been in print for 20 years! Throughout those years it has been an all-volunteer production. We envision The Beltane Papers as more than a collection of pages maintaining it’s ongoing reputation for interesting reading material and excellent women’s art, but also as a “place” located somewhere between meeting in person and meeting in cyberspace - we are community! Women consider it a safe place within which to express themselves, to share their ideas, insights and research with other women, to teach and to learn, to be inspired. They know that goods and services advertised within those pages are selected with their interests in mind. Our contents are energetically eclectic in content, ranging in focus from the most ancient lore to the most personal and immediate issues of the day.

Our Readers: Your Customers
The readers of The Beltane Papers are exploring, living, and celebrating pagan feminism (meaning egalitarian) and women’s spirituality. They’re interested in the concepts of women’s spiritual mysteries, ancient and contemporary, and want to deepen their understanding and enhance their celebration of women’s spirituality. They create altars to observe lunar and solar holy days, and gather with friends to learn, in community groups to celebrate, or practice alone with books, pen pals and cyber friends as their circle mates. They are educated, active women interested in feminist, Goddess-oriented, Pagan and New Age services and products.

Circulation
We are a relatively small but growing and well-respected publication with an estimated 350 copies in circulation each issue. Actual readership is much higher, about 700 since purchasers share their copies. Many readers archive their copies of past issues as resource material; new readers often order back issues to create such an archive.
