Cats have walked beside witchcraft for centuries, not as omens of fear, but as guardians of the unseen.
In ancient Egypt, they were sacred to Bastet, revered as protectors of the home and spiritual sentinels. Later, during the witch trials, that reverence twisted into suspicion, and cats were labeled “familiars.” Yet even in that accusation was truth they have always been intuitive companions, deeply attuned to energy shifts humans often miss.
Cats embody sovereignty. They choose when to approach, when to withdraw, when to observe. That quiet autonomy mirrors the path of the witch rooted in intuition, boundaries, and self-trust.
They move between shadow and light with ease. They watch what we cannot see. They teach that power does not need to be loud to be undeniable.
Perhaps cats were never servants of witches.
Perhaps they simply recognise magic
when they see it.
