Samhain Magick

Merry Meet All,
I have a new kitty. Her name is Shadow because she is dark as shadow, light and quick. Shadow is the right cat for me. I may have to keep my piggies under lock and key. She is two years old perfect. Shadow is curious and likes to sit on her perch at the window. She also loves to sleep on my bed. She will adjust to living in a new space.

Last night, I performed a Bast Blessing and Protection of Cats Ritual. I set down my Bast statue, a purple flower, a glass of wine, athame, kyanite wand, pentacle, and a bowl of roasted pumpkin seeds as an offering. I invoked Bast and the whole ritual was wonderful. I imagined I was in a temple and that I was a lady who lived then. I didn’t look like I do now. There were other cats there and of course, Bast herself. She has been invoked to protect all cats from harm. I left offerings and left the temple. The ritual was over. Then I performed a Solitary Samhain Ritual.

Later, I took the pumpkin seeds outside as an offering to the Goddess. After, I went to my kitty Shadow and she caught my hand in her paws and purred. Well, Bast is watching over Shadow. I asked a friend of mine to send distance Reiki to my cat Shadow. Shadow told her a lot of stuff-how much she liked my apartment, me, the energy here and my altar. She sits above my altar on the window ledge. The poor kitty was just ‘there’ and not handled or loved. Awww. Well, she’ll be treated well here. Not to worry.

I hope that Bast is watching over all the kitties as this is a time of year when black cats or other cats are kidnapped and ritually sacrificed to a goddess that is not Bast. Bast would not approve of that. Everyone needs to guard their kitties at this time of year.
