Join in the Magic!

Tales of the magic of the Crescent City of New Orleans stretch back over centuries. It is an enigmatic place where Voodoo, Hoodoo, Witchcraft, and even Christianity intertwine at the crossroads of spiritual power. On August 8 to 10, 2025, Brian Cain, Christian Day, and the Witches of New Orleans present HexFest: A Weekend of Witchery held in the heart of the historic French Quarter. The conference opens with a Riverboat Ritual and dinner aboard an authentic steamboat on the Mississippi River, followed by two full days of workshops, drumming, and ritual at The Bourbon Orleans Hotel-a venue steeped in haunting history. HexFest features Witches, rootworkers, Voodoo priests and other magical teachers from throughout New Orleans and the Mississippi Delta, each offering their time-honored wisdom. Between workshops, attendees can explore a curated selection of magical wares from local New Orleans shops Hex and Omen or mingle and share experiences with fellow attendees in an enchanting French Quarter courtyard garden.

Presenters for 2025 hail from across the spectrum of New Orleans Witchcraft, magic, and Voodoo and include Brian Cain, Christian Day, Asia Babb Strong, Carie Ewers, Christina Wilke-Burbach, Christine Stephens, Elie Barnes, Houngan Sen Jak, Juliet Rose, Kalila Smith, Kryss Statho, Levi Rowland, Mimi Curry, Mystic Dylan, Poppa Capp, Priestess Miriam, Shannon M Daoust, and Uncle Birch.
