WHAT IS THE STARLIGHT EMPORIUM MAGAZINE?
The Starlight Emporium Magazine is a place of wonder. It is a place to find enchantment and connection, to be curious, to wander among stars and beauty and thoughts and light until you find the magic you are looking for. It is for the curious, the adventurous, the thinkers, the dreamers, the magic makers...the humans. All of our world is made of the dust of ancient stars, so is it any wonder that we humans have always gathered together and looked to the stars, telling stories to guide us home? Welcome to the Starlight Emporium, a collection of beautiful and thoughtful art, stories, and connections. May you find some enchanting wonder among these pages, and leave feeling more inspired and alight.
