Living in a hidden, magical castle, deep in Doncaster, Neka - an artist, writer, poet and stewardess of mystical Caribbean culture - often eats doughnuts in the ethers and muses to all who will listen about astrology and elemental magick, from a gender-fluid and neuro-expansive perspective.

At request, she creates auric art, a visual capture of the truth of one’s soul. She loves R&B, rock and soca music, reading fantasy, horror & mystery books and watching telly shows and films with themes of magic and romance, especially ones from the Afro-American Diaspora.

Twitter & Bluesky: @regicwrites

Regi is a horror nerd living in the land of zombies. During the day, they work in big tech, and at night, they can be found consuming countless horror films and TV series. They co-hosted with Elle on the Esbat podcast, and, though they do read and write, life has made it such that visual media is more easily consumed. When not analyzing movies to an audience of one house rabbit, Regi can be found screaming about video games and very random true crime factoids.
