Edward Brown, The Fort Worth Weekly
“[…]it’s refreshing to see an outlet whose vendors just want to sell cool shit and do not discriminate. Do these witches know how to cast a “don’t be a dick” spell?.”
And we kept growing
Local Love
Witchy Bazaar makes a point to work with small businesses in the area. We want to support and spotlight those without a brick-and-mortar shop, musicians extending their reach, and artists of all types of modality. Events can vary from a full art show to a silent auction raising money for local charities.
Adapt and Grow
There was the wild summer at the now-defunct Hive in Fort Worth run by the guys at Keep Fort Worth Funky. This open space gave Witchy Bazaar a chance to stretch and grow. Witch pod-cast Witch Bitch Amateur Hour covered one of the events in the episode “Intention and Fehu” and is available for listening.
Witchy Bazaar was able to host two events at The Hive and are the largest events to-date with an astounding 40+ vendors, belly dancers, sold-out food trucks, 5+ volunteers and so much more. The Hive was voted Fort Worth Weekly’s Best of: People’s Places DIY Venue 2018 with a nod towards the festival by the publication.
Open To All
One thing will always remain true of Witchy Bazaar: the hope to offer a safe space to anyone wishing to learn and support the small business community of local witches. Witchy Bazaar supports BLM, LGTBQA+, and will not tolerate racism, bigotry, sexism, or anything that is unkind to others.
In 2018, Fort Worth Weekly published an article entitled “Spellbound” after speaking with Brandi and others about Witchy Bazaar and the community that was becoming more popular and mainstream in the DFW area. As more exposure takes place, Witchy Bazaar and Brandi hope to educate participants (as well as themselves!) on how to best support the community at large. It is important to use platforms to express support when witches have been the target of oppression as well as slander and lies for many years.
Do no harm. Take no shit.
