In this episode of Witches’ Reverie, Hayley explores the long and layered relationship between witchcraft and cats.
From the temples of Bastet in ancient Egypt to the fear and suspicion of medieval Europe, cats have been both revered and demonised.
We look at the rise of the familiar during the witch trials, the myths surrounding black cats and how modern witches are reclaiming these animals as spiritual companions, energetic allies, and teachers of boundaries and sovereignty.
Along the way Hayley touches on cat behaviour through a magical lens, the healing frequencies of the purr, and the practical ways cats can share in our ritual and everyday magic.
Whether you live with a feline familiar or simply feel that kinship with them, this episode is an invitation to see the cat not as a servant of old fears, but as a sovereign, liminal, and deeply magical presence.
