Of Chalk & Flint: A Way of Norfolk Magic: Special Edition – Val Thomas (Troy)

Description

A special edition of Val Thomas’s celebration of Norfolk’s own Nameless Tradition of magic and witchcraft, published by Troy Books. Thomas draws the county’s spiritual energy up from the land itself — from the chalk and flint that have shaped its landscape, flora, fauna, culture and history — weaving together herbs and creatures, gods, dragons, Fair Ones and merfolk into a rich tapestry of spells, rituals and seasonal devotions. Old stories are retold and ancestors honoured throughout, yet the book stays firmly rooted in the present, showing how working closely with the land remains a living part of modern practice. Though grounded in Norfolk, its principles of natural magic and land-working translate readily anywhere. Special Edition, limited to 150 hand-numbered copies, bound in natural cotton book-cloth with black foil blocking to the front and spine, mottled slate endpapers, and black-and-white head and tail bands.
