Hazel: A Witches' Lifestyle Zine

Created by Lucy Kagan

Hazel: A Witches' Lifestyle Zine was created by Lucy Kagan, and after the first issue, all subsequent issues are a collaboration between multiple talented creators of many gender expressions, sexualities, races, and ethnicities. Our witchcraft believes in creating power where people have been told there is none. Hazel V: Spirit is the final issue in the Hazel series, featuring writing, comics, illustration, and DIYs on the theme of Spirit. We imagine a young witch in training sitting down on her off day in a cafe with this zine to catch up on the latest in the magical world. How to work with sourdough spirits, what kind of witchy music gets you energized, a healing meditation on a walk in the woods, and stories of reaching out to long distance friends through astral projection are just some of the works that fill this zine with homespun magic.

Latest Updates from Our Project:

Funded in 3 Days! WOW! Stretch Goals Revealed
over 3 years ago – Tue, Aug 04, 2020 at 04:24:19 PM

Thank you all so much for getting us this far this fast! We hit our primary goal in less than 3 days thanks to all of you, and on top of that, the Patron of the Light Arts tier has been more popular than ever before! Since we paired down our offerings to almost just the essentials this year, we have lots of room to grow and add more extras, and our contributors have come up with lots of fun things to share with you as the project keeps going. All of your shout-outs and sharing helps us pay our artists what they deserve, introduce new goodies, and consider opening up international shipping. 

Patron of the Light Arts backers, message us to claim the spot for the artist of your choice - the artists have been so excited to see the enthusiasm you have for their work, and it's giving us life! Our first stretch goal reveal is a raise for these wonderful people, and after that, it's more wooden pins - or wooden charms? Let us know what you'd like best. The design will be revealed after we hit our first stretch goal. 

More updates to come, starting with an interview with Lara Smith, one of our esteemed artists!

Best wishes, Lucy & the Hazel Team
