Bio

My name is Janet Boyer and I am an author, writer, reviewer, and teacher.

My journey into the mystical and spiritual began as far back as age 4. Always curious, always questioning, and all too aware of energy and the spirit realm, I asked my Mom to begin taking me to church so I could learn more. Ever since I was a little girl, I could see angels. As I grew older, I found myself being able to envision the outcomes of certain choices and behaviors, as well as knowing certain information about people and situations.

Having a thirst for the things of God, as well as a great desire to teach and encourage others, I went to a Christian (Pentecostal) college where I majored in theology and pastoral ministry, with a double minor in counseling and literature. I became a licensed, ordained minister and eventually co-pastored a church with my first husband. After 7 years of marriage, I became a widow when he succumbed to leukemia. I found my options very limited as a single female minister living in a very traditional, conservative, patriarchal area.

Over the years, my understanding of God evolved, and I began to explore toltecism, metaphysics, tarot, and other mystical studies. I don't like labels, so I don't really have a term for my spiritual path.

I write about and teach practical spirituality, and while my upbringing is Christian, I incorporate other belief systems into my path, believing that truth can be found all over the place...especially within.

I am the former Editor of the New Age site at BellaOnline.com, the second largest women's site on the web, a position I held for two years. Currently, I'm an Editor at The Tarot Channel, a neat site devoted to all things Tarot--including reviews, articles, how-to's, Tarot sightings in the media, and more.

Astrologically, I´m a Scorpio Sun with stellium (7th and 8th Houses), Aries Rising, and Aquarius Moon (11th House). Personality wise, I'm an ENXP in the Myers-Briggs/Keirsey system, a Type 7w8 according to the Enneagram and a Philosopher "Boss" in the Ansir model (Vis/Healer/Phil). In Numerology, my Life Path number is (not surprisingly!) 7.

My interests include the band Rush, Tarot, Mystery/mysteries, and (surprise!) reading. I enjoy good movies, especially thrillers. Poetry wise, I adore e.e.cummings. (insert genuflect)

I make my home in the North Eastern U.S. with my husband Ron (a fellow Scorpio Sun/Aquarius Moon with Cancer ASC), and our 10 year old son (Libra Sun, Gemini Asc, Sag Moon)--whom I homeschool (unschool).
