DIY feminist zines since 2001
Happy Yule! Winter Solstice or the witch/pagan holiday Yule happens tomorrow on December 21st in the Northern hemisphere. This marks the longest night, the darkest day, and the beginning of Winter. For the occasion I gathered some photos of my altar(s) and lots of ideas for things to do. Come along and I’ll show you… 🙂

In this blogpost, I’m sharing some creative projects that I worked on this week. For example there’s the ZineWriMo challenge (Zine Writing Month) in November. Even though I’m not following all the ZineWriMo prompts by Sea Green Zines, you should take a look at them because they are fun! Apart from zines, I’m going to show you what I made so far for the magickal grimoire / artjournal course by Molly Roberts…

Happy Samhaim, Hallow’s Eve or Halloween!
This blogpost gives you some ideas of things to do on Samhain, the witchy holiday that happens today on October 31st. I’ll also show you some photos of my seasonal altar. Enjoy reading and celebrating!
This month I’d like to blog even more about witchy stuff than usual because, you know, it’s the Season of the Witch. This post will talk about moon magick because soon (tomorrow night) the full moon is upon us. But other moments in the moon’s cycle can be interesting too, and I’ll show you why…
Here we are again with a bunch of amazing YouTube videos to inspire some magickal creativity! This “playlist” includes videos about knot magick, art journals and magickal playbooks, sigils, and inclusivity in tarot decks. Check out the videos:

I’ve been breaking my head for years about cheap or easy-to-make-myself and light-weight constructions to display zines and postcards on my table at zine fests and craft fairs. Laying them all flat is fine but takes a lot of space and building a more 3D table looks quite appealing too I think.
So then a few days ago I came up with this…
Wow, I almost forgot, but it’s IDAHOT today: International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia. For this occasion I gathered a few resources and ideas to queerify your witchy crafts and witchify your queer activism. Not only to use today but any day of the year that you feel like.
Hello, dear reader! I have some questions for you. I’ve been running Echo Zines (and Echo Records, to release a few tapes) for 20 years now and while I’m certainly not out of ideas for ongoing and upcoming projects, I’m also wondering about what YOU think, want, and expect! What would you like to see from Echo Zines in 2022?

How to celebrate a zineversary or zine anniversary in a pandemic?
Hmmm, honestly I’m not so sure… This summer it’s been 20 years since I put out my very first zine called Punk Feminist Mini Zine and I’ve been wanting to do “something” to celebrate that. In May I wrote down a list of ideas on this blog but some of those ideas seem hard to put into practice at the moment because of the ongoing pandemic (zine residency, zine tour, zine party?) even though I’d very much like to make them happen. I’m also not much of an “organiser” so even in non-covid times I wouldn’t really know how to go about some of my ideas.
But at least I have done some stuff… and plan to do some more:
