2024 EGA Journal Submissions

This year, EGA is celebrating 20 years of community activism and education in the area of ethnobotanicals with a special anniversary journal. We invite you to share your ethnobotanical and psychedelic knowledge with the Entheogenesis Australis community and beyond!

Entheogenesis Australis (EGA) hosts one of the world's longest continuously running and volunteer-led ethnobotanical conferences, spanning two decades. Since 2007, the EGA Journal has been Australia's only regular ethnobotanical Journal, a highly respected publication that normally accompanies major EGA events. This year, for our 20th anniversary, we are releasing a special journal celebrating Australian ethnobotany. All past EGA presenters and authors are invited to contribute, and for the first time, we are also accepting submissions from the public.
