Jen spent alot of time alone as a kid wandering in the woods making potions in nature. She liked watching fantasy movies with fairies and witches when she was young. She bought her first tarot deck when she was 12 She went to the library and found a few Wiccan books and read those and resonated with her. Her family moved around several times and she grew up poor. She went to different churches for free food/meals and got a good overview of the different denominations of religions which she later appreciated. It taught her resiliency and independence. She graduated from hi school early at 16 and went right into nursing school.

As a nurse, healer and helper this is what many Witches and Pagans have done for centuries and do. You're here to help people as a Tarot reader too. Coming of age pre-internet gives us a different perspective and makes us more self disciplined in figuring out and learning about how to be a witch and a tarot card reader too. She started journaling and taking notes with the moon phases and researching and became intrigued with Lunar Magic. Jen said she was never in a wiccan coven but more of a solitary witch. She was a young mother at 17 and has 4 boys. Later when they were older she got more involved with some wiccan/pagan online groups and teaching.
We chat about Jen’s new book Manifesting with The Moon and how she wanted to teach people how to harness the energy and power of the moon phases and tie it in with manifesting. As Witches, alot of spellwork is about bringing in to our lives. If we want to banish or release that is part of manifesting to clear the way for something good or betterment in our lives. Jen wanted to write an uncomplicated work book so people can harness the moon phases and to get them to trust their intuition. And use her book like a lunar map to bring in what you want in your life.

We delve into how Jen helps to reframe our thinking to incorporate the mind, the body and the spirit self to manifest with each lunar phase/ with tarot spreads ,magical exercises, spells, meditations, lunar teas and sigils that the reader can explore through sections and a format that is easy to follow for each of the moon phases and for mind, body and spirit. With any magical practice that we do gratitude and an appreciation for what we have is so important. Even if its the simple small things.

We jump ito different lunar phases and Jen describes the energy of each phase and what energies we can align our spellwork to starting with the New Moon phase. We co-create with the moon’s phases energies and so there is effort on our part as well. As we work with our intentions through each od the lunar phases and working towards our manifesting we might change our minds and discover new ideas
