Cat protection spell
cause i couldn't find a good one that wasn't wiccan in origin or used ingredients accessible to me :)
You need:
A mortar and pestle (a cup and a spoon will do but you may need to let it steep longer)
rosemary
salt
hot water
and your cat of course
1. Place the salt and rosemary in your mortar/cup and speak your intentions into them
-> i like to get close and whisper, but you can also just hold your hand above and say it
-> you can also just think it
2. Put a small amount of hot water in a dish or cup to the side and bless it the same way
3. Pour the water into the mortar/cup with the rosemary and salt
4. Grind/steep until the water has been infused (it'll be slightly yellow-ish) while you keep repeating your intention either in thought or in speech
5. Dip your finger in the water (it should be cooled down by now, be careful not to burn yourself!) and put it on your cats forehead.
-> Make sure it doesn't get in their eyes
-> Only use a small amount, rosemary is safe for cats and the amount of salt used should be small enough not to make a difference, but you must be vigilant when putting anything on your cat. I wouldn't recommend offering the mixture as a drink to them.
6. Say a little prayer for the cats protection & blessing. This can be anything that feels right, but here is my version:
"Mother Earth, of grace and light. Protect this kitten with your might. May he be gentle, happy and kind, and safe and sound to ease my mind."
To close off, if all ingredients i've used are at least biodegradable if not good for the soil, I stand outside barefoot, thank the great mother and say "Now that the spell is complete, I return your gift to you" and scatter the remains in the grass.
