Moloch, an Irish based e-journal of art and writing, was started in December 2006 by Ailbhe Darcy and Clodagh Moynan. Tying different art forms together in new and refreshing ways, Moloch aspires to allow artists and writers to find inspiration in each other and, in doing so, add new dimensions to each others work.
The title reflects the power of art and fiction. The god Moloch appeared in many forms, taking different names or demonic shapes, the most famous being a man with a bulls head. People believed that by sacrificing newborn children to him they would receive better harvests and financial gain. By placing a child in the statue of Moloch and lighting the flames you could win your family a better life. Moloch is a story that altered the world around him, a myth that became reality in peoples’ minds, yielding very real consequences.
This e-journal provides a much-needed platform for art and writing to co-exist, for different art forms to enhance and inspire each other.
Moloch seeks variety.....
