last month, we celebrated halloween with a MAGICAL costume contest! members designed a costume for kazzi, our not-so-spooky mascot:

🐟 coven nami (league of legends) - @kilydwn.bsky.social
🐇 mimitchi (tamagotchi) - @juliwaves.bsky.social
👻 ghost - kaitlyn
⚔ melinoë (hades) - viv

we're so excited to share the 2025 edition of our community zine, featuring art by 11 MAGICAL members!
