SassyCon

SassyCon is the vision of Miss Shannon and Father Wilde, owners of Sassy Magick, Sassy Magick Noir, and Sassy Magick Boutique in New Orleans. After falling in love with the city and its unique spirit in 2016, we felt inspired to share its magic with others. SassyCon offers three distinct learning tracks, lecture, practical, and creative, so attendees can choose the style that resonates most. Whether you prefer structured classes, hands-on practice, or artistic exploration, there is a place for you here. We invite you to join us in 2026 for our second SassyCon and be part of this growing community.
