PERSPECTIVE

Megan Cook

June 2025


The quiet rituals of the home can help the mundane become meaningful, and ordinary moments hold sacred power, especially in the journey through winter.

Lost Souls Magazine in print and online is proudly independent.


We are based in Melbourne and Canberra.

The design and development of this website was based on a scoping of best practice and relevant examples. Work included websites for Heat Magazine, Meanjin, Overland, The New Yorker, Rue Morgue, Dark Mountain, The Dark and Weird Studies.

We acknowledge, recognize and pay our respect to the Ancestors, Elders and families of the Bunurong/Boonwurrung, Wadawurrung and Wurundjeri/Woiwurrung of the Kulin who are the traditional owners of lands where we work and live in Victoria, and the Ngunnawal who are the traditional custodians of land in the Australian Capital Territory.
