Guidance, not counsel

The essays, protocols and recovery manuals published on Overgrown Altar, including everything in The Perimeter, are offered as spiritual reflection and practical guidance. They are not legal, medical, psychological, psychiatric or financial advice, and they do not create any professional relationship.

If you are facing a legal matter, consult a licensed attorney. If you are in crisis or your health or safety is at risk, contact a qualified professional or emergency services.

What we keep

We collect only what you give us: your email address when you subscribe to the Dispatches, and the details you send with a Guild application, a submission or a letter. We use them to send what you asked for and to reply to you. We do not sell or share them. Our email and hosting providers process this information on our behalf. You can unsubscribe from any letter, and you can ask us at hello@overgrownaltar.com to delete everything we hold about you.

Terms of use

All writing, photographs and artwork on Overgrown Altar belong to their authors. You are welcome to quote short passages with credit and a link; please ask before reproducing whole works. Guild members keep the rights to their own submissions and grant us permission to publish what we accept. In the Guild and in the comments we ask for honesty without cruelty: sharpen, do not wound. Print folios are sold subject to the terms shown at checkout.
