Our Team
Todd Skjervold
Founder
Cosmos Within began with a simple intention: to uplift people on life’s journey with encouraging, positive guidance drawn from spirituality. I wanted to create something beautiful that carries a message of love, hope, and possibility, a candle that helps you share light with someone you care about.
I’m also a dad of two busy boys, which means chocolate chip pancakes on Saturday mornings and lots of driving to practices, games, concerts, etc. Running a small business lets me really show up for my boys. We live in Stillwater, the historic birthplace of Minnesota, and I’m proud we provide stable, well-paying jobs for our team.

Sandy, Elena and Marlen
Candle Makers
Sandy (right), her mother Elena (middle), and sister Marlen (left) make our candles, right here in Minnesota. Their work is equal parts craft and care: pouring, finishing, inspecting every candle, and packing each order like it’s a gift they’re sending to someone they love.
Because birthdays and timing matter, most orders ship within one business day, so your gift arrives beautifully and on time.
If anything ever arrives less than perfect, you can talk with a real person and we’ll make it right.
Diego T.
Astrologer
Diego is our astrologer, writer, and lifelong explorer of meaning. He believes knowledge should help us make sense of life, ourselves, and the people we love, and that curiosity is what led him to astrology.
He discovered astrology ten years ago, but he didn’t accept it overnight. Naturally skeptical, Diego spent years questioning, learning, and watching how archetypes show up in real people and real relationships. Over time, astrology became a steady tool, a way to replace overthinking with clarity and compassion.
Diego grew up on Rab, a small island off the coast of Croatia, and that quiet, reflective pace shaped his voice as a writer. With training in art and video game design, he’s always loved worldbuilding, and Cosmos Within became the perfect place to merge craft with meaning. He spent two years researching and writing our 365 unique readings, and he still travels the world, studying history and how astrology lives across cultures.
Teara
Web Master
Meet Teara, the person who keeps our website running smoothly day in and day out. She lives in Hinton, Alberta, near the entrance to Jasper National Park, with her two young daughters, whom she homeschools, and more pets than she can reasonably count. Their family is also very active in their local church.
Teara built the Cosmos Within website and makes sure everything works the way it should, so you can browse easily, get answers quickly, and place an order with confidence. Behind the scenes, she helps ensure we’re ready to respond to questions, take and fulfill orders, and follow up when you reach out. You can thank Teara for making sure every path is clear and support is here.
