Earlier this week, headlines blew up about Andrew Garfield and his new girlfriend, described as a “professional witch.” Andrew and Dr. Kate Tomas were photographed getting touchy feely during a grocery store run. They were also apparently “getting cozy” during a double date with singer Phoebe Bridgers and comedian Bo Burham. According to US Weekly, Andrew and Dr. Kate are still in the early days of their relationship, but he loves her sense of humor and “really appreciates the fact that Kate is very different from other women he’s dated.”
So who is this professional witch? She’s a “magickal practitioner” who founded and runs a program that teaches “spiritual practices” called Foundations of Energy Mastery. She also has an online store in which she refers to herself as a “luxury witch.” Dr. Kate’s witchy reputation must really intrigue the tabloids because Us Weekly gave her the whole introductory profile treatment, listing five things to know about Andrew’s new lady. Here you go:
1. She’s a ‘Spiritual’ Mentor According to her website, Tomas is “one of the most highly educated and sought after magickal practitioners in the world” and has created a “spiritual apprenticeship” at the age of 19.
2. She’s Located in England: Tomas’ work was originally based in Glastonbury, England.
“I began offering tarot readings and soon had a waiting list and people coming to see me in my tiny room above a crystal shop in Glastonbury, from all over the world,” her website reads. “Large corporations sought me out, and I began a successful career advising multinational brands, from TV networks, through to hedge-funds.”
Tomas noted that she’s “a trusted advisor to governments” and “CEOs of banks,” and offers love and relationship advice.
3. She’s Highly Educated: She has a Masters degree in Philosophy of Religion and a Doctoral Degree in Philosophical Theology, both from the University of Oxford.
4. She’s an Author: Tomas wrote the book Chakra Crystals: Promote Balance and Self-Healing Through Crystal Meditations, which was released in October 2019. The book “presents [Tomas’] remarkable meditation-based healing techniques for personal empowerment,” per its description.
5. She’s a Business Owner: Aside from her spiritual work, Tomas also owns Ouroboros Limited Editions. The brand sells “sacred, powerful, true magickal talismans made from vintage gold, by the Luxury Witch,” according to its Instagram bio.
I mean, to go from civilian spiritual advisor to a “Five Things to Know” profile in Us Weekly… what a way to hard launch a relationship, #amirite?! I find it so interesting that piece was done so soon after they started dating, especially since Andrew generally keeps his personal life pretty private. That said, I wonder how they met! Like, was Andrew a client or did they meet through friends? Maybe an app? Did he one day google “luxurious witches” and somehow came across the Luxury Witch herself and then slide into her DMs? Dr. Kate has also been around in the Hollywood scene for a little while. People reports that some of her clients have included Megan Mullally and Lena Dunham. She certainly sounds like a fascinating woman.
But really, I just really want to know what “trusted advisor to governments” entails. Does she go to 10 Downing Street and read the lettuce leaves? Or are we talking heavier sh-t, like she’s got her crystals in the room where the big decisions happen? We need a more in depth piece on that. Inquiring minds want to know.
