That is a wealth of info on Cat Magick- thanks for sharing, @Susurrus! May Cat Magick make a wonderful addition to your BoS! :black_cat: :open_book:

So glad you and your kitty had a lovely shared meditation together, @RyuWyn! Wishing you all the best with your protection spell- you’re very welcome, and blessed be! :sparkling_heart:

Thanks again for the great post about whiskers for Cat Magick, @Limeberry! It was inspurrational :smile_cat::two_hearts:

Thank you for sharing your Cat Magick wisdom, @moonshadow- it sounds like you have been blessed with some lovely experiences with cats! :cat: Wishing the same to you- hope you had a wonderful International Cat Day :tada:

Stevie is a sweetie, @praecog29- and it sounds like she helps you to think outside of the box, she’s a creative inspiration! :black_cat: :sparkles: I remember living on Poland time when I was in the USA to stay in touch across the miles- romance is wonderful, but sleep is important too, my friend! :laughing: Hope you were able to get some good rest :pray::zzz:

Thanks for sharing the recipe, @Princess_Tara, and I’m so glad you were able to help your aunt’s kitty! Wishing her all the best with her continued recovery, I am sure she is very grateful for your help and care :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

That sounds like such a lovely ritual @Kasandra- a shame that sometimes our furry spell companions have schedules of their own (and flys to chase!) :joy_cat: I’m sure your kitty felt your energy and appreciated that you were working in her honor :blush: May Bast watch over and protect you both!

Ooooh that catnip hair rinse sounds lovely, @phoenix_dawn- what a great uses for catnip and several other healing herbs! :herb::heart: It sounds like it worked really well, and it must be potent indeed to work on dyed hair too! You are rocking that purple color btw- I love it :purple_heart: :blush:

Your felted kitty came out amazing, @IrisW- and I can’t believe it’s only your second needle craft, you really have a talent for it! :clap::two_hearts: May Diana watch over you and Salem (that’s a great name for him!)

And yes- wishing a very happy (belated) International Cat Day to all the cat lovers in the forum!

I have a short spell that I made up for this week’s challenge entry. I wanted to do something special since I have Max, my furry overlord. I tried to take a picture of the ingredients but couldn’t, the flash kept messing up, so here’s a picture of Max instead:

Hope y’all like the spell.

Cat Courage Spell.

Ingredients:

Tiger Eye crystal for courage.
Cat Claws for protection.
Cat Fur for comfort.

Put everything in a charm bag and chant:

Lady Bast, grant me the courage to go about my day
So I may honor you in every way.
Give me the courage of the lion stalking her prey,
The protection of her claws to keep enemies at bay.
And finally, as the sun is setting at the end of the day,
Wrap me up in comfort and watch over me, I pray.

Blessed be.

Another wonderful challenge! I try to find ways to incorporate my kitty with my magical workings because she seems to be extra curious during those times. For this challenge I decided to do the Protection Spell for Pets. I began with some grounding and meditation like I usually do and she decided to sit next to me and meditate as well (at least that’s what I felt like she was doing as she purred with her eyes closed). After the protection spell, I got down to her level and held her paw while I told her how I’m so grateful for her and how much she means to the family. I also told her that I appreciate the Leo energy from her distant big cat ancestors and asked that she would help me remember that when needed. I think she understood. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I always tell her, her own story of how we found each other and how she came to have such a long name (Lucky Diva Baby Kitty). I am sure she’s tired of hearing it but I tell her all the time anyway LOL! Sometimes she will roll her eyes and sometimes she’ll give a snuggle when I retell it. She’s the best little companion. I do wish she would be open to having other 4 legged brothers or sisters but I think that’s just her little diva way of saying “I’m all you need!” lol

Thank you @Susurrus for the cat magick info! I’ve kept a few of her whiskers from time to time but never thought of using them! And claws too!

I always forget to lump my responses to multiple posts into one! I have a lot so thankfully remembered this time!

@amethyst Thank you for sharing the spell and Max is so cute!

@Iris wow - that’s really cool! You did that in one afternoon?!

@phoenix_dawn I think reading to your nephew is absoutely magical! you’re speaking words out and allowing him to create and see a whole world in his mind

@kasandra that’s a great idea! I have a little Bast statue as well so I may do the devotional and pray as well

@praecog29 I don’t think what you’ve concluded to be pessimism either. I think it’s actually quite freeing and allows us the space and room to grow even more!

@crystal24 thank you for sharing the salve recipe!

@RyuWyn such beautiful kitties and I love their names

@mary25 oh boy!! hopefully kitty is feeling a bit less anxious and more comfortable today

@sharonD I miss Catahoulas! I used to have neighbors in Louisiana that had them. Sweet pups and yours is beautiful

I’ve had a lot going on this week so I took it the easy route this week for the challenge. Last night I made a cup of Calming Catnip Herbal tea from Scratch Mommy and set up my altar to perform the Moon in Leo Meditation from here on Spell8. I was of course joined by my two cats, Lord Nibbler and Bender, as they usually come join me when I meditate. I didn’t take any pictures as I was trying to be in the moment.

The tea was relaxing and, with a bit of honey, was pleasant to my taste buds. It helped me relax after the hectic week/weekend that I had. Catnip is a member of the mint family (doesn’t taste like it!) and helps calms nervous energy due to anxiety or promote a restful night’s sleep. I will be keeping this recipe in my deck of tricks for when insomnia hits as it helped get me to sleep last night.

The Moon in Leo meditation has to be one of my favorites by far. I had a huge sense of pride and encouragement when the lion entered the stage and showed his support for me. Having the new moon in Leo is a perfect time for me to set new intentions on building my personal strength and courage.

I don’t have any cats except my stuffed one, Nermal, so I cleansed him, set him on my altar and we said a prayer for my sweet old lady baby who crossed the rainbow bridge a week ago

Just did the pet protection spell and I really liked it.

At the end of the spell I prepared 2 toiler paper sachets with some herbs: cloves, bays, ginger, rue, sage, the tip of the candle and my cats names in each sachet, then, I marked also the sachets with the witche’s knot, the rune Alguiz, and their names. I buried all that in a flower pot in my balcony.

I’m still new in spells so I had to open my sacred circle to get things missing for my spell, lol.

Thanks again for this challenge, and happy cat’s day to all! :cat2:🐈‍⬛ (a bit late but I guess it still counts, lol).

“Furry overlord” made me laugh, @Amethyst- Max is one cute kitty overlord! :cat: :two_hearts: Your Cat Courage spell and chant are gorgeous- I love everything you included in it! From Bat to the lion to the sun, it is full of wonderful feline energy- thanks for sharing!

Awwww @robin77- it sounds like you had a lovely meditation with your kitty! And I love that her name is Lucky Diva Baby Kitty, she sounds like she has quite the cat-titude! :joy_cat: I can tell that the two of you are quite the team- many blessings to both of you! :black_cat: : :two_hearts:

It sounds like a very soothing tea time and meditation with your kitties, @Amaris_Bane- so glad that you enjoyed it! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: May the Leo energy guide you and the Lion watch over you all! :lion::leo:

Thanks again for your lovely entry to the challenge, @NickWick! May you find your kitty bestie soon :pray::cat:

So sorry for your loss, @Peaches- may your beloved companion find sanctuary and respite beyond :pray:. I think Nermal is a lovely and symbolic addition to your altar- may he watch over you and bless your sacred space :paw_prints: :candle:

Beautiful spellwork @RyuWyn- so glad you enjoyed the challenge! Thanks again for joining in, and may your lovely protection spell help to keep your furry friends safe :pray::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
