This rite is designed specifically for cats, but may be employed with any animal you wish to make your familiar spirit. Each night during the cycle of the waxing Moon, sit closely with the animal. Arrange it so that you are both facing toward the horizon where the Moon shall rise. Stroke the creature firmly, but with love, until he or she begins to purr or to relax. Align your own breathing with the purr, or in the case of a creature other than a feline friend, align your breathing with that of the animal. Continue to do this each night at moonrise. When the Moon is at full, your will shall be as one with that of your familiar. You shall see through its eyes, and it will see through yours. Your thoughts shall be as one, and you will share a single heart.

For a health-giving spell, lie down where you will be comfortable and undisturbed for a half hour or so. Place your cat on your chest, covering your heart chakra. State your positive intent to be healthy succinctly and begin to stroke the cat. The cat should relax and begin to purr. Completely relax with the cat and let the purring cleanse out your heart chakra. After about thirty minutes, sit up and send the positive intent out into the universe.

Cats can be harbingers of coming prosperity and good fortune. A cat of three colors is extremely lucky and will keep a house from harm, while a smutty-nosed cat will bring wealth to its companions. Stroking a cat’s tail nine times grants good luck at cards. And just sharing your home with cats will bring you many blessings.

If you have been having trouble communicating with someone, set out a blue cloth or paper with a spiral drawn on it. Hold a large piece of blue tiger’s-eye in your hands, thinking of clearing away all the communication difficulties. Then, coax your playful cat to come over and visit. Roll the stone on the cloth, bat it back and forth with the cat, playing until the cat gets tired and walks away. Leave the stone on your altar most of the time, but keep it with you when you interact with the person. Once the situation is resolved, cleanse the stone and put it away.
