  • Decline or remove any submission at our discretion without providing justification.

4. Non-Compensation
At this time, contributions are on a volunteer basis, and no financial compensation will be provided for submissions.

5. Ethics & Community Standards
We strive to create an uplifting, high-vibrational publication that supports our community and individuals on their unique spiritual paths. The Pagan Chronicle is a place of unity, wisdom, and shared connection—where all who seek a deeper understanding of spirituality through paganism are welcome.

To maintain this sacred space, contributors agree that their work:

  • Will promote personal and collective growth, inclusivity, and a spirit of goodwill.
  • Will foster meaningful discussion while remaining respectful, constructive, and aligned with our mission to inspire and empower.

6. AI Policy & Contributor Pledge
The Pagan Chronicle and Mountain Pagan Media are committed to preserving authentic human creativity, storytelling, lived experience, and spiritual expression. While we recognize that some contributors may use AI tools for limited assistance such as brainstorming, grammar support, or structural organization, submissions must remain fundamentally the work of the contributor’s own mind, voice, experience, and craftsmanship.

By submitting work, contributors pledge that:

  • They do not use AI in the creative process, including for idea generation, writing or rewriting content, artwork creation, illustration, stylistic mimicry, or voice development.
  • Any submission found to contain AI-generated writing, artwork, or undisclosed AI assistance may be rejected or removed at editorial discretion.
  • AI tools may only be used in a limited support capacity for minor spelling or grammar corrections, or light editing to help clarify a message.
  • Any use of AI-assisted tools, even for limited editing support, will be fully disclosed at the time of submission.

Our publication values imperfect humanity over artificial perfection. We believe authentic voices, individual perspectives, and lived spiritual experiences are sacred parts of what make this community meaningful.

7. Submission Agreement
By submitting, you acknowledge that you have read and agreed to the terms outlined above, and our company Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. This agreement applies to all current and future submissions unless otherwise amended in writing.
