Melanie Hexen

Melanie Hexen is a witch, midwife, regionally famous bellydancer, homeschooling mother and matriarch of the Many Hands House. She has been a witch for 30 years, and is a founding member of the Hexen tradition. She is most recently known for organizing the hex against rapist Brock Turner. Her belief system is loosely based on the writings of Terry Pratchett and Doreen Valiente. She practices witchcraft with her coven the Prärie Hexen. Melanie is delighted to be back at Iowa Lammas Fest!

The Prärie Hexen Coven

The Prärie Hexen Coven is a coven of female witches founded in 2013. The Hexen tradition establishes covens of women to practice witchcraft together, through which we empower, support, and celebrate our own and each other’s life changes. (This, in and of itself, is REVOLUTIONARY) In the Hexen tradition each witch may follow her own style of witchcraft. However we reject Jesus and avoid new ageisms.
