I’m aN AUTHOR AND CREATOR who mixes the mystical with the psychological, all while embracing my inner esoteric muppet.
My Writing Style 🪄
I’ve been a prophetic dreamer as long as I can remember, but own relationship with divination began in childhood, when my grandmother taught me to read cards using Isobel "Belle" Osbourne Strong Field’s Teuila Fortune Telling Cards. That deck became the doorway into decades of intuitive work.
I’ve given readings to more than a thousand people, and in 2014 I stepped back from offering them publicly so I could focus on writing. In every magickal work I create, my great intention is to show others that intuition isn’t something rare, but a precious gift we all carry.
My decks are unique oracular tools designed to make esoterica accessible, and ancient wisdom, modern.
They don’t predict the future, but rather, illuminate what’s already shimmering on the surface, and hiding within the chambers of your heart. Each card can be considered a tiny portal of light, and no matter which Work you choose to work with, they have been each been crafted to offer insight that’s both practical and magical.
MY FAVORITE DECKS: The Teuila Deck by Isobel "Belle" Osbourne Strong Field, The Egyptian Brotherhood of Light by Vicki Brewer, Sacred Symbols by Marcella Kroll, Runners of the Sun by Amelia Rose, The Brown Magick Oracle by Richie Brown and Animal Apothecary by Cara Elizabeth
My essays live at the intersection of technology, creativity, and imagination — the evolving mythologies of how we make meaning in a rapidly changing world. And, I also cover music and culture for outlets like SPIN
I like to write about the emotional and philosophical undercurrents of innovation, the strange poetry of memes, psychedelia, deep fakes and technological hubris, and the ways entrepreneurship becomes its own meta story.
I’m equally drawn to finding the esoteric breadcrumbs in pop culture and cinema — the hidden corners, and liminal spaces where symbolic language initiates unknowing eyes. My work often unpacks the occult, the subversive, and the uncanny hiding in plain sight.
MY FAVORITE MINDS: Jim Henson, Jon Ronson, David Bowie, Hunter S. Thompson, Werner Herzog, Ari Aster, Stanley Kubrick, David Lynch, Grant Morrison, Octavia E. Butler, Brit Marling, Harmony Korine, and Adam Curtis
Lately, my work has pivoted into fiction, and honing that craft. I am inspired to create a voice for myself in the world of horror…especially the kind of horror I think of as psychogenic, haunting stories where the fear gestates inside of the mind, and bleeds into waking life.
I’m drawn to the places where memory warps, identity splinters, and the familiar quietly turns predatory. My fiction blends emotional realism with surreal undertones and fever dreamscapes, creating worlds that feel intimate, disorienting, and uncomfortably all too possible.
I’m not interested in jump scares or spectacle, but, rather, in the slow dread of eventually recognizing yourself in the thing that terrifies you most.
This work lets me explore the shadowy edges of imagination with the same precision I bring to my nonfiction, but through a new doorway.
MY FAVORITE INSPO: Los Angeles, A24, Hellraiser, Showgirls, Labyrinth, Return to Oz, Goetic demons, The Celestial Hierarchy, Rankin/Bass cartoons, Tank Girl, Aeon Flux, Gothic Horror, Fantastic Planet, Italian Disco aesthetics, The X-Files, finding magic in the margins of mundanity, and beauty in the most unlikely places.

“Jennifer Sodini is one of today's most important voices in practical spirituality-she embraces human complexity and real-world needs, reinterpreting both in light of esoteric and ancient thought. In the post-Covid age, there is no room for platitudes or posturing, and Jennifer's work demolishes both. She is at once blunt and unsparing, convivial and hopeful. I consider hers one of the very few voices on today's alternative spiritual scene that will prove lasting.”

Jennifer is a visionary, a true Mystic, and pioneer of Magic in the physical. In that she brings depth, authenticity, and genius in all that creates and births; whether in visual, audio, or written form. She does it in a way that gifts anyone who engages with the opportunity to transform with the tools and knowledge she shares. Thereby empowering them by showing them their own unique magic. Forever grateful to get to know and walk this Earthwalk with such a gifted, kindred, and revolutionary spirit.”

"We often think that in order to understand the timeless knowledge of mysticism we have to look back into the past, to work long dead masters of previous aeons.

Regardless of your tradition or practice, you will find something in her teachings that will enrich your journey and understanding."
