Notes on Publishers
Many of these publications no longer exist. Below is a quick history of the main publications in Cynthia's early work:
GNOSIS: A JOURNAL OF THE WESTERN INNER TRADITIONS was a quarterly magazine that was published in print form between 1985 and 1999.
It was founded by Jay Kinney, its editor in chief and publisher, and was issued under the auspices of the nonprofit Lumen Foundation. Its offices were in San Francisco. Richard Smoley served as editor from 1990 to the magazine’s closing in 1999.​ GNOSIS was designed as a wide-ranging, broad-minded forum for the exploration of the Western mystical, occult, and esoteric traditions (including but not limited to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.) It was nonsectarian and published articles and authors from a wide variety of perspective.
​
Parabola, also known as "Parabola: The Search for Meaning," was a Manhattan-based quarterly magazine on the subjects of mythology and the world's religious and cultural traditions. Founder and editor Dorothea M. Dooling began publishing in 1976. It was published by The Society for the Study of Myth and Tradition, a not-for-profit organization... On April 4, 2025, the editors of Parabola announced that the journal was being discontinued, saying "The financial challenges posed by today’s publishing environment have proven insurmountable." Stephen Schiff, Chairman of the Board of the Society for the Study of Myth and Tradition, wrote "We are a casualty of the market forces to which so many other periodicals have succumbed."[9] The website remained active until the end of April 2025 and subscribers were allowed to download an unlimited number of PDF back issues free of charge. The Society then closed the website, which has been taken over by Études Architectural Solutions. - Wikipedia

Sewanee Theological Review: "This periodical began publication on St. Luke's Day, Oct. 18, 1957, as the St. Luke's Journal of Theology. It was founded by the Very Rev. George M. Alexander, dean of the School of Theology at the University of the South, for the continuing education of clergy. It was edited by students in the School of Theology from its founding until Sept. 1976, when Dr. John M. Gessell became the first faculty editor. Gessell retired as editor in Dec. 1990 and several changes were made in the journal. On Feb. 19, 1991, the Board of Regents of the University approved changing the name to the Sewanee Theological Review, giving it symmetry in name with the University's Sewanee Review. A new editor took over on Jan. 1, 1991, a thematic approach was adopted, complimentary subscriptions were reduced, and the purpose of the journal was changed to read “Anglican journal of theological reflection.”" - episcopalchurch.org
