Hello gorgeous library guests
and
Welcome to the Mewton-Clawson Library at BBHQ
Thank mew for joining me in the stacks today, I was feeling very contemplative this week, and have spent a lot of time in the catservatory because it's been much warmer, and mew know how much I love being warm! MOL
We've been having some fun too, I snoopervised the P.A. making a wand, and for her first effort it turned out quite well. She'd been meaning to make one for years, and finally, she got around to it. If mew'd like to see a picture, let me know in the comments, and I'll post one next week.
Pandora was also snoopervising, well she does have magical powers, so I thought it better to have her nearby just in case the P.A. accidentally zapped something. Anyhoo, we gave 9 out of 10 for her first wand.
Oh, I just had an idea; what about a new crafting post featuring wand making? Or maybe not! MOL
Today the P.A. is also joining in Friday Fill-ins Blog Hop with the pawesome 15 & Meowing and Four-Legged Furballs.

Harness the Powers of Felines through History, Behaviors, and Familiars
Rieka Moonsong
Here's a little snippet of the book blurb:

Cat Magick invites you to bolster your magickal practice by embracing your wild feminine and developing the bond with your feline familiar.

This week, I thought I'd step away from the cat cozy mysteries and try something different, and I found the book "Cat Magick - Harness the Powers of Felines through History, Behaviors, and Familiars" by Rieka Moonsong on Amazon; it looked right up my alley, so I promptly ordered a copy.
I was thoroughly impressed with the level of detail and information it provided. As an avid cat book reader, I was eager to delve deeper into the world of cat magick and explore the mystical powers attributed to my fascinating feline species.
The author has done an exceptional job of combining historical facts, cultural beliefs, and purrsonal experiences to create a comprehensive and engaging read. Cat Magick covers a wide range of topics, such as the spiritual significance of cats in ancient Egypt, the role of cats in different cultures around the world, and the concept of cat familiars in modern-day witchcraft.
One of my favourite parts of the book was about the unique behaviours of cats and how they can assist in magical intentions. For example, and I know that many of mew already know this, but some new readers may not - did mew know that a cat's purring can actually have healing properties? Those purr frequencies are mighty powerful indeed!
There are also rituals to try, nothing too out there just in case mew're wondering; harmony, blessings, bonding deeper with your feline, making talismans, lunar and solar cycles, and others.
One thing I must say is that the layout and the illustrations within the book are just divine; even Melvyn had to come and see.
Even if mew're not interested in the witchy/wiccan vibe, the actual feline history presented is very thought-provoking and superbly put together. That, with the illustrations, makes it a really pawesome read. And if mew are into the witchy/wiccan vibe, well this book is purrfection.
An Epically Feline Fantastic Read!

Hello sweet Amber! Those were good fill-in answers and I enjoyed the fail too. A most excellent magikal review too. Thanks for joining Angel Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of good things happening out your back door
ReplyDeleteI agree with #2 and 3. If you love chocolate cake (and all things chocolate) why deprive yourself! Another great review, Amber.
ReplyDeleteWhat ever Smooch heard, it must have been fur his ears only.
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures! And I'd like to see the wand picture too! I'd be mainly into the scientific and observational history part of the book ... I believe those healing properties of purrs are science- based facts!
ReplyDeleteIt does sound like some interesting stuff is going on over there, wands and magick books, oh my.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are getting warmer now, Ms. Amber, and the extra daylight will help.
That looks like a "don't you dare say 'bath' in my presence" face.
Thank you for linking up with Feline Friday!
I absolutely DO want see the wand. Please do. The book sounds wonderful Amber. Thank Mew!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great review Amber. I just added the book to my to-read list on Craigslist. Cute photo fails. Thank you to the PA for participating in the fill-ins, great answers. I think our clocks turn back a couple weeks before that. XO
ReplyDeleteOh, this book showed up on one of my media accounts; looks like it wasn't up to your exacting standards, Amber.
ReplyDeleteSmooch doesn't think a bath would be much fun.
Oh, and yes, we want to see the wand!
ReplyDeleteCat Magick sounds really good, Amber! Thanks for letting us know about it with your very thoughtful review. And YES, we totally want to see that wand. :) XO
ReplyDeleteI love how Melvyn reads! The book sounds really good. Pawsome blooper too!
