Zehara Nachash

Zehara Nachash is a fourth-generation Witch, Reiki Master, Spiritual Life Coach, and practicing Vodouisant who follows the ancestral veneration and rites of New Orleans Vodou. Her spiritual practice is a rich and evolving tapestry, blending modern Witchcraft, Ceremonial Magick, and New Orleans Vodou into a cohesive path of power, reverence, and service. A devoted servant of Maman Brigitte and the Guede, Zehara weaves folk magic with deep ceremonial knowledge. Raised in Boston, she began exploring the occult early, mastering scrying and tarot by her teens.

Initiated into the Temple of the Seekers in 2004, Zehara formally rose to the rank of High Priestess, serving nearly a decade within the tradition. She also studied Egyptian magick at Temple Harakhte. A prophetic dream in 2012 led her to the path of Vodou—a calling that profoundly shaped her spiritual work and ancestral devotion. She now studies under Mambo Samantha Corfield and the House of the Nine Mysteries, walking the path of New Orleans Vodou with humility, respect, and deep spiritual integrity.

She was a contributor to Witch Way Magazine and the author of Grave Spirits, Snake & Bone's Book of Shadows, The Eternal Coil, and Snake Charming. Zehara teaches regularly at University Magickus and has presented at WitchCon Online and other international occult and esoteric conferences. An international artist, Zehara has sold her artwork throughout the UK and Europe. She is best known for her one-of-a-kind jewelry and Spirit Bottles, which are her signature magickal creations. Each Spirit Bottle is handcrafted in close communion with the Spirits and imbued with intentional energy for protection, guidance, healing, and ancestral connection. Zehara’s art is deeply rooted in ancestral reverence and spiritual purpose.

For over two decades, Zehara was known as “Boston’s Resident Snake Charmer.” A professional belly dancer and snake priestess, she merged ecstatic dance and ritual performance into a sacred experience. Her appearances include ads, music videos, and theatrical shows that reflected her commitment to transformation and reverence through movement..

Zehara also founded the Pagans Behind Bars Project, which supports incarcerated Pagans and Wiccans across the U.S. She holds a Masters degree in Criminal Justice from Keiser University in Florida and currently lives in Richmond, VA.

What is a Vodou Witch?

A Voodoo Witch is someone who walks between worlds—blending the practices of Wicca with the living traditions of New Orleans Voodoo.

In my own path, I honor the cycles of nature, cast circles, and work with ritual magick in the Wiccan way, while also walking in devotion to the loa. I am a devotee of Maman Brigitte, guardian of the cemetery, protector of the dead, and fierce spirit of justice and transformation. I am NOT an initiated Vodou priestess. Instead, my practice comes from deep respect for New Orleans Voodoo, which has always carried both folk roots and spiritual devotion. This path allows me to weave together my witchcraft with reverence for the loa, creating a unique, powerful current of magick that is both personal and authentic. To me, being a Voodoo Witch means living at the crossroads of traditions—honoring the ancestors, calling upon the spirits, and embracing the power of ritual and magick to transform life.
