Invocation
There's a curious journey into the depths of the unknown, hidden so deep that only the brave will gracefully return with light in their eyes and shadow leading home.
Introduction to Cat Symbolism
Hello, cat with nine lives. Cats are graceful creatures rivaling the snobbiest of humans. They are fiercely independent and value their time and space above all things. They are aloof yet love affection and they put their health and wellbeing above all other things.
Mystery and Empowerment
Cats are also mysterious. They are the symbol of empowerment and setting boundaries – two qualities every witch needs to be successful in her craft. No wonder cats are a favorite among a witch’s familiars.
Finding Independence
When the Black Cat comes purring into your reading you are being asked to find your independence. Grab some ‘me’ time so that you can find your footing again. It is easy to get lost in the chaos when you have a lot going on. Taking a step back to see the bigger picture is the best way to get some fresh ideas about where to go next, how to solve a problem or how to get out of a funk. Remember, ‘me’ time doesn’t have to be dramatic. Having a 20-minute coffee break at your local coffee shop can be just as rewarding as an all-day staycation. When it comes to ‘me’ time, choose quality over quantity, always.
Setting Boundaries
Black Cat asks you to learn the power of saying NO! We all have to set boundaries and rules. We cannot expect others to know what is okay or not okay without some guidance. Nor can we expect others to know when we have too much on our plates. It is okay to say no. This isn’t a selfish act and it doesn’t mean you don’t care. It is a sign of self-respect and will help, in the long term, those in your immediate circle. You cannot give what you do not have.
Reversed Meaning
Black Cat in reverse reminds you that you have another chance to get things right. A black cat has nine lives but you never run out of chances to start afresh. Trust that there is a grand plan that will not let you down. Take the leap of faith and don’t be afraid to jump high into that tree. You may fall but then again you might not. If you do you’ll just have another chance to get back up again.
