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.

11:11, a Book, and a Very Accomplished Morning
It’s 11:11 on 11/11, and I have something wonderful to share.
I couldn’t let that timing go to waste. Make a wish. I’ll wait.
This morning, Wibbly and I went through the proof of my book together.
I call her Wibs. She’s good company, although her contribution to proofreading mostly involved occupying the chair and looking as though she had already read it.
I checked the words. She supervised.
And now I’m sitting here feeling so accomplished that I...
“The 11:11 portal” sounds a little ominous to me. Like we should check what’s on the other side before walking through.
But making a wish? Dreaming bigger? Taking a moment to think about where we’re going? Those are things I can get behind.
Some people find meaning in repeating numbers. If seeing 11:11 reminds you to pause and reconnect with something you want, let it. You get to decide what that moment means to you.
And if you miss it because you’re working, making lunch, or living your life,...
Sometimes you need to feel it before you can let it go.
This photo of me at Carpenter Falls in New York feels right for this Scorpio New Moon. Standing on a rock surrounded by water, arms open wide. That’s the feeling I want to carry forward: grounded, open, and ready for what comes next.
In astrology, Scorpio invites us to explore what’s beneath the surface. The feelings we’ve tucked away. The things we keep trying to control. The wishes we barely admit to ourselves because wanting them feels...
