About your hosts
Meet Jennifer
The Witch Behind the Markets...
Jennifer Rapkins is the creative force behind Spooky Markets... a spirited blend of Halloween nostalgia, handmade magic, and small business love.
A lifelong horror fan, artist, and eclectic pagan witch, Jennifer brings her passion for community, ritual, and weird little treasures to life through immersive, themed events on Vancouver Island.
She’s also the owner of The Hermit’s Path, a metaphysical shoppe at Langford Station, rooted in intention, education, and accessible spirituality. When she’s not planning market layouts or crafting spell jars, you’ll find her behind the lens as a photographer, kicking it in karate class, or deep in creative flow - surrounded by incense, soundtrack music, and just the right amount of spooky ambiance.
Meet Natalie
The Flame Behind the Candles…
Natalie Winsa is the powerhouse behind Serenita Candle Co., blending fire and softness into every essential oil candle, diffuser, and spray she creates.
A fierce Leo with a heart to match, Natalie is the friend who shows up... whether it’s with snacks, sass, or soulful advice. Equal parts business brain and big-feelings heart, she’s always dreaming up her next move while holding space for those she loves.
She’s a devoted dog lover, a culinary enthusiast, and a natural hype woman who believes in building each other up. When she’s not perfecting a scent blend or prepping for markets, you’ll find her pausing to pet a pup, chasing big goals, or laughing with her Station fam - probably while lighting a candle.
