Cat magic

hey everyone. i usually just stick to reading the Comic Books section of barbelith, but i need some info, hoping someone can help.

in number of interviews with Grant Morrison, he talks about some magic that he used to help heal his cat(s). does anyone know what this involved? any other good magic for feline friends?

a mass, probably a tumor, was recently found in my cat's chest. the prognosis is no good, and there's little they can do about it. seems like a perfect time to try some magic.

any info verily appreciated, thanks.

You could do something involving the goddess Bast, in the way of an offering (the light from a lit a candle and some catnip should suffice!) and simple request to her on your cat's behalf. You could do this for 9 days (as it is a good number for cats) to compound the energy you put into this.

I am not sure what GM did, but if you are unfamiliar with magick maybe something simple and straightforward would make more esense for you.

Also, Bast is one of my personal favorite goddesses. I have a shrine for her set up in my home. I will certainly send your cat some good mojo through Bast tonight.

Take care.

Oh, poor thing...

Spend as much time as possible with your cat, making lots of hands-on contact, stroking and scratching. Try to imagine love and healing energy traveling through your hands into your cat; visualize it as a soft glow of light, try to feel warmth moving in your hands. Let the light and the warmth flow from your hands into the cat's body. Talk to the cat and encourage it to work on healing itself. Surround it with as much positive, loving energy as you can muster.

You might also try, very simply, drawing a picture - maybe just a circle with the word TUMOR written on it. Imagine that this is the real growth, the thing that is making your cat sick. Project into this drawing the reality of the disease, and then destroy it. Tear it in half and burn it in a candle flame. Perhaps take a very tiny amount of the ashes and sprinkle it in kitty's food or water.

Best wishes for you and for your cat.

And by the way, I had heard about GM and his cat before, and I'm not sure exactly what he did. He mentioned it in a few interviews though:

Sorry, was trying to copy in this and kit the wrong key:

"I've tried healing magic, and I did it with my cat when it was dying of cancer, and I was taught this technique by this woman and I didn't believe it, but she said, "No, you've got to do it." And I said "I can't do it, please come and help my cat," and she said, "No, you've got to do it, the spirits that talk to me"--and I didn't believe in spirits, but she said there were spirits talking to her, so I figured I had to trust her--she said "No, they tell me that you have to do it, it's really important that you do this thing." So she taught me the technique, I went to the cat, the cat had been diagnosed with cancer all through his belly, cancer through his jaw and so on out. We had taken him up to the vet hospital... I went home and I was really upset, so I did this whole deal of the laying on of hands, and just asked for these spirits to help, I just did what she told me to do whether I believed it or not, did the thing over a photograph of the cat, and I saw white mist coming off me, real white mist, with light coming off the palm and everything. The next day I took the cat up to the vet to get a biopsy to find out what kind of cancer he had, did it to him on the way up to the hospital. They called me that afternoon and said "What the hell's going on, this cat's got no cancer! We can't find any cancer."

... So it sounds basically like laying on of hands, projecting energy, and appeaing for help from the spirirt world, which is all advice that you've gotten already. I hope it helps.

thanks for the replies!

that's a great idea - i will light a candle tonight.

my sincere thanks to you.

yeah, that's basically what i've been trying to do...
that was the image that i, too, drew from the what GM said in the interviews. other than that, i've just been following my instincts. along with visualizing the healing white energy, i imagine that i'm pulling out the mass like it's cobwebbing... i dunno, just trying to use my imagination to focus my mindpower.

...that this is the real growth, the thing that is making your cat sick. Project into this drawing the reality of the disease, and then destroy it....

i like that one . this, too, i will do.

*thank you again for the replies. i really appreciate your help!*
