Black cats are universally associated with witchcraft and the occult. A black cat is often portrayed as the ultimate witch’s familiar and is believed by some to house a spirit or otherworldly being. Sometimes they’re considered good luck, other times bad luck. Over time, the image of the black cat has become a repository of witchy attributes and associations.
Even if you don’t consider yourself a cat person, you can make and wear this amulet to call upon the archetypal trats of the famous black cat: luck, connection to spirits, mysticism, and, of course, witchcraft power. This amulet is meant to increase magickal abilities, aid in occult studies, and generally bring out your inner witch.
You will need:
- Small tiger’s eye crystal that will fit in the bottle
- Small glass bottle with a cork, available at craft shops
- Pinch of dried catnip
- 3 strands of hair from a black cat
- Glue
- Piece of cord or string long enough to go around your neck
On the night of the full moon, find a quiet place ot make your amulet. It’s preferable that you’re able to see the moon, but if you can’t, visualize it in your mind instead.
Hold hte tiger’s eye up toward the moon. Think about how a cat’s eye glows in the dark just like the moon does, and say:
Cat's eye, cat's eye, Moon shining bright. Guide my way in darkness Like a black cat in the night.
Add it to the bottle. The stone represents your inner vision, helping you see mystical undercurrents and increasing your psychic senses.
Put the catnip in the bottle. Catnip attracts most cats and is a favorite tempting treat for them. Say:
Fetch and summon, come to be. Black cat spirit, come to me.
Place the cat hairs in the bottle. Say,
Black cat power is here with me, With secrets, luck, and wile. A witch's companion spirit Now lives wihtin this vial.
Put the cork in the bottle and glue it in place. When it’s dry, string it on the cord and wear it as an amulet during rituals and spells or in situations when you need extra power form the black cat spirit.
