Ashé Journal (aka Ashé! Journal of Experimental Spirituality) is a peer-reviewed publication examining experimental spirituality.

History

Ashé was founded in 2002 by Sven Davisson. Since its founding the project has grown to include an eclectic group of independent religious scholars, spiritual experimenters and investigators of new religious movements. Early collaborators included Trebor Healey, Raul Canizares, Mogg Morgan, Chris DeVere, Eric Lerner and Bobby Shifflet.

The journal’s contents include a mix of academic articles, first-person non-fiction, creative fiction, poetry, art and photography. The journal has published thematic issues on the Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (aka Osho), Gnosticism, Vaisnavism, William S. Burroughs, fin de siecle occulture, Buddhism, Thelema. Contributors have included: Phil Hine, Genesis P-Orridge, Jason Louv, Emanuel Xavier, Lawrence Schimel, Allen Ginsberg, Cabell McLean, Doug Grant, Syamasundara dasa, Amara Wilhelm Dasa, Swami B.V. Tripurari, Bhakti Tirtha Maharaja, Lon Milo DuQuette, Alex Grey, John Daido Loori, Toby Johnson, Jay Michaelson, among others.

The journal’s name is a word of African origin meaning spirit or life-force. It describes the energy that is thought to inhabit all people, animals, plants and objects. It is similar in meaning to the Sanskrit prana or the Chinese Ch'i and the Buddhist concept of Bodhicitta.

The journal’s mission was outlined in its debut issue:

Ashé is a project born of the alembic of connections and communications. It represents the manifestation of a joy in sharing diverse perspectives on the spiritual path--sometimes synchronous, sometimes discordant; sometimes beautifully ecumenical and others unforgiving and self-critical. Above all else, Ashé is intended to be a nexus for spiritual possibility. An interchange of voices often silenced or ignored. Ashé provides a space for seekers to speak for themselves without the academic filter of the 'objective observer.' [http://ashejournal.com/index.php?id=57 Ashé Journal] ]

In the introduction to Ashé: Selections from the Journal of Experimental Spirituality, Ashé’s editor elaborated on the journal’s purpose:

Above all else, Ashé has always been intended to form a nexus for spiritual possibility. An interchange of voices often silenced or ignored…. Ashé provides a space for seekers to speak for themselves without the academic filter of the objective observer’. "Ashé: Selections from the Journal of Experimental Spirituality", Mandrake of Oxford, 2004.]

In late 2006, Ashé Journal became an imprint of Rebel Satori Press.

Critical reviews

Ashé is an interesting and wide-ranging journal. Written from an experiential point of view the majority of works are reflective, insightful or inductive of further interest. The decision to give a voice to those not usually heard and to incorporate issues which are normally seen as 'taboo' within mainstream spiritual circles, or which incorporate unusual analysis makes it both an exciting, brave and challenging work. –Lou Hart, philhine.org.uk [http://www.philhine.org.uk/books/review_ashe.html philhine.org.uk] ]

ASHÉ journal is the most relevant and interesting occult journal nowadays... -PAN.OR.RA.MA [http://www.geocities.com/panorama_magik_journal/Interviews/Ashe_Journal.htm PAN.OR.RA.MA Journal] ]
