Message & image from Critical Thinking Witch Collective:

Happy December, witches! Tis the season to support our amazing CRITWITCHCON2025 vendors for all your gifting needs! ✨

Echo Zines is a creative project by Nina Zina (she/they) that is based in Belgium. As Echo Zines, Nina produces zines, postcards, stickers, buttons, and spell bags (and she plays in the feminist witch punk band Lavender Witch!). The witch zines that Nina makes talk about herbal magic, amulets, self-love potions, mundane witchcraft, and personal reflections about skeptical witchery. Echo Zines’ stickers and buttons feature sigils for self-empowerment and for queer, anti-racist, and accessibility activism, and the postcards depict witches in various settings. Nina also sews and assembles spell bags with natural and repurposed ingredients to promote self-care and community care. https://echopublishing.wordpress.com/

Shop small, shop witchy this holiday season! The CTWC is thrilled to partner with our incredible vendors to highlight small businesses and independent makers. Put your money where your wand is, and support your small, local, witchy shops! ✨

The full moon is out and so are my brandnew zines! I've just released a zine and sticker bundle which you can find in my webshop: https://ko-fi.com/echozines/shop/

+ more info at: https://echopublishing.wordpress.com/2025/10/07/new-zines-out-now-witches-brew-19-20-queer-quest-3-and-youre-invited/

A bit of info on the zines:

Witches’ Brew 19: Creativity Talisman

This mini-zine printed on red paper was made during a virtual zine workshop led by Alex Wrekk of the Critical Thinking Witch Con. The pages were inspired by prompts Alex picked from Molly Roberts’ Art Magick Oracle. I very much enjoyed this spontaneous zine creating and decided to print what I made as an issue of Witches’ Brew. On the inside poster you can find more info about the virtual event and my creativity talismans.

Witches’ Brew 20: Spells & Crafts

Issue number 20 of Witches’ Brew is a bigger and more personal issue that acts like a kind of spell book or as background information on my witchcraft practice. I talk about what I enjoy and what I avoid. My ongoing witch journey is also documented inside its pages, with places I visited, how many tarot practice is evolving, and more.

Queer Quest 3: Dice Divination for Sea Side Exploration

At the start of the Summer I had the opportunity to go to Zinekabine, a monthly zine-making event organised by 2 zinesters in Mechelen. The theme of this edition was “sea treasures” and I turned my mini-zine into a game zine, the third issue of Queer Quest, to play while visiting the sea or the ocean.

You’re Invited: a Bunny Birthday Zine

When Chainsaw Bunny celebrated her birthday in August, we collaborated on this mini-zine. The zine reveals what a bunny birthday looks and you’re invited to take a look inside its pages. Bonus surprise: when opened up there is a poster of Chainsaw Bunny’s birthday party.

4 zines on a lavender-indigo coloured fabric. The zines have green, blue, pink, and red cover pages and are printed with black ink. The zine titles are Witches' Brew 19 and 20, Queer Quest 3, and You're Invited. The latter has a drawing of a bunny with a crown and an envelope in its mouth on the cover. The green zine features a witchy cat. Text: New zines! Bundle out now!The same 4 zines, each opened to show two pages from the inside, and partly laying on top of each other.

Photo of 4 zines and 2 stickers. One sticker depicts a cat behind a round table with a typewriter with the title "altar of the zine". The other sticker depicts a cat sitting cross-legged playing with tarot cards and a tea mug and notepad are next to them on the floor. Two of the zines are titled Witches' Brew. One is green and is subtitled "spells & crafts". The other is red and is subtitled "creativity talisman". A blue mini-zine is called Queer Quest 3: dice divination for sea side exploration. The final zine is cut in a shape that shows bunny ears. It's printed on pink paper and is called You're Invited: a Bunny Birthday zine".4 zines are photographed from above while the zines are positioned standing upright on a pink surface with the pages open so they don't fall down.

I'm giving a talk and doing a workshop at (virtual!) Critical Thinking Witch Con on September 26-28th!

Here is the text from CTWC's post:

Nina Zina returns to CritWitchCon to present a Cauldron Talk on preserving our history, and to lead a hands-on workshop about creating our own zines!

Through their Echo Zines creative project, Nina Zina produces (witchy) zines, postcards, and stickers. The zines talk about things like herbalism, amulets, music as magic, and mundane witchery. Nina sews spell bags with natural and repurposed ingredients for self-care and community care and enjoys sigil design, magical artjournaling, and cartomancy. She also plays in a feminist witch punk band called Lavender Witch and makes solo music as Lost Luna. https://echopublishing.wordpress.com/

I wrote a blogpost about all the zine fests, (queer) art markets, 1 anarchist book and 1 virtual witchcon that I participated in in 2024. I'm so happy I got the opportunity to be part of them and meet lots of creative, queer, witchy, and activist people there!
