Submit a storyline
Have a Wexford-based moment, rumour, temptation, victory, or small act of courage that could become a spell? Send a rough outline (or even bullet points). If it’s usable, it can be developed into a polished parable and posted here.
What to send
- Setting (street, townland, café, beach, workshop, match day, etc.)
- The “trap” (drift, comfort, peer orbit, fear of trying)
- The hinge moment (the choice)
- The aftertaste (what changes)

Worthwhile suggestions
If you want this to spread naturally (without cringe), keep it:
- Short enough to read on a phone
- Local enough to feel true
- Not preachy — no enemies, no grandstanding
- Actionable — each spell implies one small next move
Next additions (optional)
- A “Spell of the Week” highlight on top
- A simple share line: “Send this to one friend”
- A page per spell later: /spells/1, /spells/2, etc.
