Goddexx Bless the Smugglers with Edgar Fabian Frias

just in time for samhain, on this week’s episode of the Art Witch podcast, i have the pleasure of talking with Edgar Fabian Frias. 

Edgar is a nonbinary, queer, indigenous (Wixárika) and Brown multidisciplinary artist, curator, educator, and psychotherapist. they work in photography, video art, sound, sculpture, printed textiles, GIFs, performance, social practice, and community organizing, among other emergent genres. 

i first came into connection with Edgar and their work through instagram, seeing their gifs and spell posts floating about my feed. a short while later i was invited by Sarah Faith Gottesdiener to write a full moon ritual for the 2020 Many Moons lunar planner and i was pleasantly surprised to see Edgar had also written a full moon ritual for the planner.  

since then Edgar is someone that i joyful follow and whose work deeply resonates with my creative-mystical journey. through their work i’ve learned that play is transformative, healing magic and our approach to dismantling is rooted in our mutual care, joy, and creativity.  

never one to shy away from the deep work of dismantling the patriarchy, Edgar’s art addresses the magical and the political simultaneously and calls forth the inner child to rise up and reimagine the world.  

in episode 4 of Art Witch, Edgar shares about their creative process of collaboration with energy, how art has been a catalyst for altered states, ancestral guidance in career pathwork, and musings on navigating fine art spaces as a witch.

Edgar also shares info about their upcoming workshop on nov. 8th, Spontaneous Communion: Introduction to Tactical Plant Magick and Quarter Moon Ceremony. this workshop will focus on introducing people to a diverse array of ways to commune with plants and plants spirit.  to register, visit
