Prepare to be Enchanted by The Witches Familiar – Readings by Val McDowall

Val McDowall is a Scottish-born psychic medium, tarot/oracle card reader, creative writer and artist based in Surrey, British Columbia, known for her mystical creations and intuitive guidance. Trading under the name “The Witches Familiar,” Val blends her spiritual insights with creative storytelling and visual art to offer a unique experience rooted in magical realism and ancient wisdom.

Her signature creation, The Witches Familiar Oracle Cards, is inspired by a story she wrote about a reincarnating magical black cat—a free-spirited familiar with an ancient soul and a rebellious spirit who serves witches across lifetimes but belongs to none. The cards are not tied to any one witch, reflecting the familiar’s independence and timeless nature. The oracle cards are designed to embody the wisdom and independence of the familiar. Each card offers intuitive guidance, making the deck accessible to anyone seeking spiritual insight, whether or not they have a magical companion.

Val’s visual storytelling is both enchanting and emotionally resonant, designed to spark intuitive connections and spiritual reflection. The cards are not just tools—they’re miniature works of art that invite users into a world of magic, mystery, and transformation.

Val offers psychic readings using tarot and her own oracle decks, helping clients explore questions around love, career, health, and life direction. Her readings are known for their clarity, warmth, and depth, drawing on her lifelong connection to spirit and her Scottish heritage.
