The September Issue of Animalia Magazine was called the Silly Superstition edition, mainly because of all of the excuses, religious or otherwise, to NOT get the COVID Vaccine. However, the real reason why this was was actually the main article.

The main article talked about how hilariously, in hindsight, bad medicine was at certain time periods, as well as how surprisingly advanced some civilizations/cultures were. One example of hilariously bad medicine was, without a doubt, the Edwardian Era of Europe, while an example of surprisingly advanced medicine was the doctor-priests of Asclepius at Pergamum.
Speaking of which, there was also an article that talked about the planned Greco-Roman Animalia Colony. While there had been plans for such a colony on the books for a while, there had been a relative disagreement between Greece and Italy over who was going to "host it". Fortunately an island had been found that was not only perfect for a colony similar to Heiya Island, but also had a perfectly reasonable explanation for why it had been "lost", which was generally accepted/blamed on the barbarian invasions and the collapse of Rome.

Another article talked about superstitions from around the world, not just religious and/or tribal, though there were plenty of both of those last two. As it turned out, superstition was more than just what actions caused good or bad luck. There were actions that were considered important to do, actions that would get one in trouble, and so on.
There was also a minor contest where readers could submit as many 'modern' superstitions as possible, with a "small", $500 prize. While this wasn't as big as some prizes, it was still a good incentive.

A final article talked about the link between religion and hallucinogenic drugs. While that was something surprising to find, it did make some more sense once it was read more. Of course, the only ones who were upset were those that the internet had taken to call "Karens", which Animalia didn't really care about.
