Spellcraft Magazine - New Editor Wanted

The "The Only Magickal Magazine in the Southern Hemisphere" is seeking someone to take over the helm. I haven't seen it advertised, except on their Spellcraft in a small section in the top left hand corner, though they have put together a two page description of the type of person they hope to find to fill the shoes of She D'Montford, who held the position for the first twelve issues.

So, if you know of anyone that might be interested in getting involved in publishing a pagan magazine that sells in newsagents across Australia, send them along to the Spellcraft website, to read the job description.
