Azure West

Mistress of Glitz, Glam, and Mayhem, Azure West is a Washington state native turned Texas transplant since 2002. Azure suffers from “helium hand” which has landed her in coordinator positions for Houston Pagan Pride and Council of Magical Arts as Entertainment Coordinator, serving as Special Events Coordinator for her OTO Temple, Bubastis Oasis, as well as various community event leadership rolls. After many years of coordination positions, Azure has now turned to keeping it simple by traveling days at a time throughout the year with ‘Tuatha Dea’ as their “Tuatha Girl Friday” and has done so since 2014.With only having the band shenanigans to tend to, she has decided to branch out and write about the festivals, gatherings and other events that draws community interaction. Given the title of “People Magician” by her tribe of friends, Azure thrives on helping build community. When she is not gallivanting the countryside she conforms to her mundane job as a mortgage closer, working on her goal of being Gothic Martha Stewart, and whatever else she can pile on her overflowing plate of deliciousness called life.
