Austin Witchfest

Doing their part to dispel the notion that witches are evil, green-faced hags on brooms, Austin Witchfest invites one and all for a festival “promoting the understanding of witchcraft and the occult.” Presentations and workshops cover topics like Mexican love spells, dark herbalism, ghost hunting, and how animals can improve mental health. Vendors bring occult wares and ghostly goodies, and entertainment includes music from Ember Enigma and a performance from the Bruja-jas, aka the official dancing witches of San Antonio. – Kat McNevins
