«Catspells: Cat Magic Through the Ages» is Claire Nahmad's essay on feline magic and folklore, published by Trafalgar Square in hardback (96 pages).
It explores the historical relationship between cats and magic, from ancient Egypt to English folklore. Claire Nahmad draws on her great-grandmother's manuscripts, a Victorian wise woman, to transcribe over fifty traditional spells: for good luck, health and love, for predicting the weather and the future, and for naming the cat.
The work originally appeared in 1993; this edition is from 1996. With illustrations by Susan Robertson.
For enthusiasts of English folklore, magical traditions and feline symbolism.
