Virginia’s life forever changed when a series of strange coincidences sparked her curiosity. She started following them wherever they led, and to her great surprise, the three chronic illnesses she’d been struggling with since college all disappeared and she started experiencing increasingly wondrous events.

Knowings came true. Synchronicity swirled around her. Visions foretold the future and revealed a heavenly land.

She’s been sharing her magical stories (fiction and non) ever since, and in 2018, she launched The Magic Guide, an ever-unfolding story that follows you — the main character — as you uncover real magic in your own life.

Endorsed by a clinical psychologist, The Magic Guide has been praised both for its extraordinary writing and for invoking more awe and wonder in people’s lives.

Before The Magic Guide, Virginia studied physical anthropology at Vassar College, conducted research with one of the world’s foremost primatologists, and worked at Northwestern University’s Center for International Human Rights.

A former columnist for Horoscope.com, Virginia’s writing and magical experiences have been featured in numerous podcasts and publications, and in 2022, her essay “To Walk in Clear Skies,” detailing her ancestral connection to the Salem Witch Trials, was published in the 77th issue of the Lincoln Center Theater Review.

A longtime New Yorker, Virginia now lives with her husband and cat in Ohio, where she experiences real magic every day.
