A look into the history of cats and magic

A lovely book that looks at the history of cats in relation to magic and witchcraft, including mythology, witch trials, and old spells used by magic users of the past. Loved the bits of poetry throughout and the few modern spells for naming and protecting your cat familiar. Highly recommend for new witches looking to learn more about their cat familiar!

For Magick Users and Cat Lovers!

Now maybe I am partial, because I do LOVE cats, but I would probably not have purchased this book otherwise. This book covers all the bases...Cat magick, legends, superstitions, cures, omens, deities, and a few spells. I really appreciate the fact she does give an appendix which does list some resources, and a fabulous bibliography that is a must to check out in case some of her sources might intrest you as well. All in all, it is a great book.

Gerina Dunwich has written a wonderful book about Cats!

I found this a most exceptional reading experience because I have five cats and know how magickal and mysterious they can be, and how loving these wonderful felines are. This is a fine, well-written book that captures the essence of what the cat symbolizes and represents in a social and historical context. A highly accurate book, this is a book you will want to come back to for future references. The facts available in this book are fascinating. There is a high degree of scholarship and attention to detail in the book. Gerina Dunwich has written an entertaining nonfiction reference work sure to appeal to many different readers. Enjoyable reading!

What a wonderful book!

This book is so good I have to go out and buy all of Gerina Dunwich's books now. This is the first time I have read her and I can see that I am going to become a rabid fan. I picked this up, of course, because it is about cats, and I had just read another book about kitties and magic by D.J. Conway. Even if you already have D.J. Conway's book you'll still want to buy this one, because it is quite different. I really like Gerina's style and I love the anecdotes she tells about her own cats. This books talks about cats as totems and familiars, cats in magick workings, the history of cats and cat deities, etc., but my favorite part of the book was the cat astrology section. Yes, Gerina gives a little description of each astrological sun sign for cats, for example Pisces or Taurus, and discusses personality traits. Very cute! My other favorite part of this book was the chapter dedicated to cures for cats. I've never seen this in any other book: she discusses cat chakras and how to do chakra healing for them! Any cat lover will absolutely adore this book. And if you are a magick practioner and have a close bond with cats and like to work with them, this book is going to become your best friend. A million stars for this one!

Purr-fect for Witches & Cat-Lovers

My coven and I had been anxiously awaiting the publication of this book and were delighted when we discovered that it was finally available! This is one of Gerina's finest books, devoted to the magick, lore and worship of the cat. It is filled with many photographs and quaint old illustrations, and contains a generous helping of feline-oriented spells, folklore, and superstitions. Gerina explains how to interpret cat dreams and cat omens, offers up a cool chapter on cat astrology, and includes a list of interesting names for familiars. Her shamanic chapter on cat totems was excellent, and even though it was not an especially long section of the book, I found that it contained more information about the cat as a totem animal than other books I have read. This is a book that no cat-loving Witch or Pagan should be without! I highly recommend it to all. I also found Gerina's poems (which are scattered throughout the book) to be simply enchanting.
