Jacki Smith
Jacki is called the Rachel Ray of the magical world, her earthy, practical approach to magic takes the spooky out of being a witch and adds in the flavor of humor and lightheartedness. This isn't Jacki's first magical rodeo, as she has been making magic through her company, Coventry Creations since 1992 and her best selling book, Coventry Magic with Candles, Oils and Herbs published in 2011 illustrates her eclectic and empowered magical style.
Jacki doesn't sit still for anything, she has created hundreds of magical candles, oils and incense over the years, teaches classes, volunteers, and her latest venture is to make the Akashic Records a powerful and practical spiritual tool.
DIY Akashic Wisdom, Access the Library of Your Soul, is co-authored with her sister, business partner and wonder-twin, Patty Shaw. Together they make the journey into your own Akashic records not only easy but a healing adventure. (www.diyakashicwisdom.com)
