BookBuzz recently interviewed Jennifer Sodini, author of Feline Mystique: A Cat Lover’s Deck and Guidebook, for an engaging look at the inspiration behind her cat-centered oracle deck and guide. Sodini discusses her lifelong love of cats and oracle cards, her handwritten writing process, the authors who have influenced her, and the intriguing fiction projects she is developing next. The interview offers readers a warm introduction to the imaginative voice behind this enchanting celebration of feline lore, symbolism, and magic.
Jennifer Sodini is an author and culture journalist who has been reading oracle cards since she was a tween. That lifelong journey between worlds has matured into mass-market decks with Hachette and Chronicle Prism, translations in French and Russian, features in Cosmopolitan, and bylines in Rolling Stone and SPIN.
Her fiction is a blend of literary horror and speculative thriller, where she examines predatory trends and the search for meaning in an increasingly artificial world. She has spent over a decade working inside the wellness industrial complex and taken the gonzo approach to mystical traditions from East to West. She has traveled through forbidden Tibet, slept in the Great Pyramid, accidentally received the Tao, and sat with a wide variety of sacred medicines along the way.
Currently, she lives in Los Angeles with her husband, her daughter, two cats, and a praying mantis. She believes the human imagination is our most precious gift, and is much funnier in person.
Author Q&A
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
My name is Jennifer Sodini, and as of today I’ve written six publications that have been published by Running Press, Chronicle Prism and translated into both French (TreDaniel Editions) and Russian (Popuri).
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My last guidebook is called the Feline Mystique Oracle and was inspired by my love, and reverence, of cats. I believe cats are very special animals that have so much to teach us humans, and I wrote the book as a fun and accessible guide exploring different breeds, myths and pop culture references to help bring light and magic onto everyone’s path.
