Bell’s journey into the mystical began at age nineteen, when she balanced her role as treasurer of her college geology club with secret evening classes on the healing powers of crystals at her local metaphysical shop. While her professors believed she was devoted solely to science, Jenny quietly explored the intersection of earth’s energies and magic, with crystals becoming her first love in witchcraft. Over the years, her passion expanded into herbalism—culminating in the completion of a formal herbalism course—and a deep commitment to gardening and the spiritual properties of plants. Today, Jenny draws from her blend of scientific knowledge and mystical curiosity to nurture both people and plants.
