Information

I believe in the old days , when cats where considered highly respectable creatures , they are close to the Gods and Godesses from the Ancient time.Therefore I would like to start a Group to honor our Cats and to share our devotion to the Divine.

Based on the finding of cats buried with humans in the ancient Jericho archeological dig, we can assume cats have been domesticated for over 9,000 years.
The worship of Bast in Egypt began about 2890 B.C. (if not earlier) and lasted for about 3000 years. Bast is one of several names known as the "Eye of Ra", this title denotes a protector, destroyer or avenger. She was a daughter of the sun god Ra and her initial role as the king's protector eventually spread to include children and pregnant women. She then became a symbol of maternity and fertility.

Early Egyptians worshipped the lion headed goddess Bast. It was not until about 1000 BC that she was represented with a cat's head and the domestic cat also became an object of reverence.

In Egypt male cats were called Mau and females Mait. Cats knew the words to vanquish the powers of darkness and would whisper them to people who loved and befriended them. The black was believed to carry particularly potent magical powers.

The Greeks identified Bast with Artemis. Artemis (or Diana) often appeared in cat form. The legend of cats having nine lives probably stems from Artemis as the mother of the nine muses or from the nine primal great Deities of Egypt; a male and female pair for each of the 4 elements plus their mother.

Cat Healing

Materials:

Statue of Bast and/or Sekhmet.

Picture of the cat to be healed, or at least their name written on a piece of paper

Green thread

A blue or white candle

Incense (lavender, lotus, or myrrh)

Timing: Healing should be done any time it is needed; repeat the spell working on the next Full Moon to reinforce and strengthen the healing power.

Set up a little altar or sacred space, arranging the statues to the rear of your working area. Place the candle to the side of the statue or in-between if you are using two statues. Light the candle and the incense. With the photo or paper with the sick animal's name on it before you, ask the Goddess Bast to grant a healing. Take as much time as you feel you need to express this petition. Sit quietly for a time, visualizing a stream of healing blue light coming from the candle and blending into the picture or paper before you. When the blue light ceases, take the green thread and cut off a piece thirteen inches long. If you are using a paper with a name written on it, roll the paper into a small cylinder and wrap the green thread around it several times, tying it when you are finished. If you are working with a photo, just loosely wrap the thread around the photo. Do the thread wrapping while chanting:

“Lady of cats, large and small,
Answer my entreating call.
Cast out the sickness, bring in the Light.
Grant loving healing through Thy might.
Renewing green, healing blue,
I bind these energies into you.
As threads around your image wind,
Perfect healing to you I bind.”

Lay the thread-wrapped photo or paper near the statue, leaving it there until the candle is burned out. Burn the thread and paper (if you are using a photo, remove the thread to be burned and return the photo to the proper person) and dispose of the ashes and candle wax.
