Uncle Birch - A Featured Presenter with HexFest 2025

Presented by Brian Cain, Christian Day
and the Witches of New Orleans

Uncle Birch

Uncle Birch, is a lifelong Witch, a Palero, and Rootworker.

Growing up in the back room of one of the older Witch stores in the country, The Eye of the Cat in Long Beach, California, Uncle Birch's destiny was pretty mapped out. An Obsession for magic that became a career. Becoming a teacher in the Craft at the tender age of 13, he’s been teaching and leading Witches for over 40yrs. Now teaching on platforms like Youtube, Instagram, TikTok, and Gumroad, so he’s almost certainly teaching somewhere at this very moment.

Uncle Birch also created and hosts the WitchLens social media app for magical practitioners. He lives in the most magical of towns, New Orleans, with his wife Marta, and together they host Widdershins: a volatile podcast of magic.
