HexFest
A Weekend of Witchery in Old New Orleans
Bourbon Orleans Hotel 717 Orleans Street, New Orleans, Louisiana 70116
This weekend, at the Bourbon Orleans Hotel convenes a community of New Orleans' witches, rootworkers, Voudou priests, and other magical folks from around the world. As the crossroads of Voodoo, Hoodoo, Witchcraft, and Christianity, New Orleans—the French Quarter in particular—has long been associated with spiritual power. For this special "Weekend of Witchery" presented by Brian Cain, Christian Day, and the Witches of New Orleans—forces align for a study and celebration of the city's spectrum of mysticism in the form of HexFest.
The conference opens with a Riverboat Ritual and dinner held on an authentic steamboat on the Mississippi River, followed by two full days of workshops, drumming, and ritual. Between workshops and presentations by guest speakers, attendees can shop on-site powerful ritual tools, signed books, exquisite jewelry, and spellcrafts handmade by practitioners. $150 for day passes; $350 for full weekend with Riverboat ritual dinner. hexfest.com.
