Val Thomas

I am a witch, author, herbalist and craftsperson. My latest books "Of Chalk and Flint" and "Bounded in a Nutshell" are available from Troy Books.

A rose when Summer's at its height
With fragrant petals, pink and white;
Fair Rosamund, your blessings bring,
Enhance our world; let our hearts sing.

Here's one of my favourite and much-used magical tools: a Victorian deersfoot bell. #witchcraft #traditionalwitchcraft #magicaltools #folkmagic

The hardback versions of my latest book, 'Bounded in a Nutshell: Lockdown, Magic and Infinite Space' arrived just in time for the Quest Conference in Bristol last Saturday. It was a great event and wonderful to meet up with friends old and new. #witchcraft #Boundedinanutshell

@jpwarchaeology @TheHistoryPress Congratulations. That's great news.

This wonderful bearded face is on the neck of a large #bellarmine we recently acquired for our Living Norfolk Magic collection. The bottle is huge and was originally used to transport mercury. Although it isn't a classic witch bottle it is filled with magic now. #witchbottle

@skullsnsheets So sorry to read this sad news.

[Val Thomas @witchyvalthomas]

Signing the bookplates for a new release is a most enjoyable and magical task. I am always think about the lovely people who will be receiving and how grateful I am to those who support my work. #Boundedinanutshell #troybooks #witchcraft #traditionalwitchcraft #tradcraft

Full Moon Mini Spell

A Tuesday when the Moon is full,
Empowers my magic with its pull,
With energy and psychic power,
Let the magic thrive and flower.

@WitchofSalopia Amazing!

[Val Thomas @witchyvalthomas]

@magickmisfit Thank you so much and thanks for buying Chalk and Flint. I hope you enjoy it. Inanna's is a wonderful shop, isn't it?

[Val Thomas @witchyvalthomas]

Thanks for retweeting. I used to have a cat called Persephone.

A wet March Monday, mini spell:
The Moon's near full, let all be well.

@MharaStarling Thank you. I plan to put some interesting things here which are different from my Instagram and Facebook.

[Val Thomas @witchyvalthomas]

Well here I am on Twitter. Who'd have thought it? Let's see if I can create some magic here.

[Val Thomas @witchyvalthomas]

@MharaStarling Thanks so much for this Mhara.

[Val Thomas @witchyvalthomas]

@WitchofSalopia Thank you. I so pleased with myself for managing to set up the account entirely without help as I am not usually that great with technology matters. I must be improving. Anyone, I have a fun plan for this, as I hope you'll see in due course. x

@KahunaWhite Thank you. Those orchids are fabulous.

[Val Thomas @witchyvalthomas]

@Busterina Thank you.

[Val Thomas @witchyvalthomas]

@TDUNNOfAR Thanks so much. I shall certainly give it go!

[Val Thomas @witchyvalthomas]

@NurseTutor_Sara It's a funny thing for an old witch to do but I'm sure I'll enjoy it.

[Val Thomas @witchyvalthomas]

A Twitter spell is short and sweet;
Let magic flow when I click "Tweet".
