Julie Bloomfield

MC WITCH

She/Her

Canada (EDT)

Julie Bloomfield is an explorer born too late to be discovering new coastlines by sail, and too early to be discovering strange new worlds by starship. Always attempting to learn more about the natural world we share, she is also a sci-fi, music, and ice cream fanatic. She focuses her craft on seeing and creating magic in everyday life. Her time is spent making all manner of things, be it paintings, tunes, stories, or social gatherings -- sometimes all at once. This tall gnome will untangle lumps of jewelry and try to rope others into all manner of fantastic adventures.

Ana Mor

SOCIAL WITCH

She/Her/They/Them

California (PST)

She knew she was a witch in her youth but never took to what the "cool" witches were into, finding her own way about things. She enjoys pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, info dumping about old vampire movies she grew up watching, books, collecting mugs, petting cats, and having awkward conversations with herself in public that often veer way off to the side without any sort of context while shooting chaotic bisexual finger guns at literally anything.

Hayley Jay

SWAG WITCH

They/Them/She/Her

Pennsylvania (EST)

Hayley Jay is a solitary, queer, non-theist hedgewitch wandering the alleyways and access roads of southern Pennsylvania, by way of Montreal & England. They use tarot as a therapeutic tool, reach for fire any time a spell needs a little something, and suspect their witchcraft is pretty boring but find it deeply effective. If you approach slowly with a cube of sugar, they will talk your face off about native plants, family systems, maker life, and funky food. Hayley Jay is fifty-something, is the founder & High Saponatrix of Paintbox Soapworks, and is very proud of you. Yes, you.
