Kat Renfrew
Heather “Kat” Renfrew is the author of Manifesting with Moon Magic: A Beginner’s Guide to Wishing on the Moon. Born in Mobile, Alabama, she now lives in Central New York, where she writes, gardens, makes things, and follows her curiosity.
After leaving a hazardous factory job in 2022, Kat began making room for herself again. Moon wishing became part of that experience—a regular opportunity to consider what she wanted, recognize what she was grateful for, and decide what to do next.
Her approach leaves room for real life. You don’t need perfect words, expensive supplies, or a group to practice with. You can write by hand or type on your phone, dream big, start small, and change your mind.
First published in 2024, Manifesting with Moon Magic introduces readers to this practice through intentions, gratitude, reflection, and action. Kat is currently preparing a revised edition and a companion workbook/journal, with outdoor workshops planned to begin in May 2027.
When she isn’t writing, she enjoys gardening, knitting, crochet, jewelry making, learning Mandarin, and getting outside with her camera.

I’m also developing a companion workbook/journal with prompts to help you explore your wishes and return to them over time.

Sometimes you don’t realize how much you’ve been carrying until you stop for a minute.
For me, moon wishing creates that pause. A chance to look at what I want, what I’m grateful for, and what I’m ready to change.
The full moon gives me a regular reason to check in with myself. You can use it that way, too.
Start with gratitude
Begin with “I am grateful for…” and see what comes.
You might appreciate someone who showed up for you, something you finally finished, or the courage it took to ask for...
A garden gives you plenty of time to think. You plant something, tend it, and wait. Sometimes it grows beautifully. Sometimes you learn that it needs a different spot.
I like that image for moon wishing.
The new moon is when I write “I intend…” and give myself room to think about what I want. You can begin with something small or let yourself dream big enough to be surprised by what comes up.
What would you like to grow?
More time for creativity? A home that feels peaceful? The confidence to try...
