Old Solar magazine is named after the language of the unfallen races in C.S. Lewis's Space Trilogy. We adopted the name not because we imagine our conversation to be unfallen, but because the name does convey some ideas that represent our purpose well: communication and a longing for a lost world.

This lost world is not an identifiable Golden Age from the past that we could return to by going back fifty or five-hundred years. It is a Golden Vision of what the peculiar strengths of past ages would look like combined together. Our cultural criticism may not directly reference this vision at all times, but it will always be in the background. As we are not a political movement, it may be that a Golden Vision is all we have to offer. Yet that should be a good enough reason to have a magazine.
