Ugh

Oh the want of spiritual inspiration in this house is deplorable!
Not only did my witch resent me for doing my business in the veg patch but she actually forgot to feed me dinner!!!!

I thought this familiar in training business was going to be hard. My witch has barely touched a candle in months, let alone our beloved moon ritual. It has been cancelled two months in a row now.
We need some inspiration I think.

Abandonment

I am to be abandoned. For a whole week! Off goes my mistress to who knows where!
On the positive side, this means I can do whatever I want, when I want, I can sleep all day and have a break from all this familar business. It's hard work you know.
And my witch has got me a new familiar box because I ruined my old one. Yay!

Lunar Eclipse

It rained all day yesterday. and i'm not a fan of the rain. my witch warned me not to go out in it but i did and i was shocked! so i went back inside pretty quickly i assure you. my witch then told me that it would stop soon but it didn't! it went on all day! and all night!!

April 25th was a Lunar Eclipse APPARENTLY. i didn't see any moon at all, let alone an eclipsing moon but my witch says that's because it was cloudy. which is a shame, because i would have liked to have seen that you know.

blessed be

Long hard day

Today was a hard day as my witch required my presence in a spell. It's hard work being a familiar because I'm determined to prove my witch I am up to the job. Even so I just couldn't resist the drowsiness when it came to the meditation.

the demolition of an altar

today i am in shame indeed
for today i destroyed my witch's altar, completely ruined it. luckily as i am her familiar, the magick, protection, cleansing ect. was not disturbed but i assure you the altar cloth was.
my witch was very angry that i had messed up her altar, spilling all her sacred objects on the floor but eventually with my guilty help we fixed the mess and begun anew.

all these candles!

every night my witch witch lights a candle and sets up a mirror with a few gemstones every night just as i am dozing off. she looks deep into the mirror and murmurs quietly to herself. i find this behavior rather peculiar and for some nights this continued until i finally plucked up the courage and hopped onto her altar to investigate. my witch looked alarmed and tried to gather me up but alas she was too late and i burnt my poor whiskers in the candle flame :(

we quickly evacuated the scene and my whiskers were tended too. eventually my mistress admitted to having been in the middle of a true beauty spell. a spell she had apparently kept in the back of her book of shadows for some time and was determined to try out-it goes as such-

equipment: one candle of a light colour and a mirror. you may add personal objects that mean something to you if you want

method: every night for three nights light the candle, look in the mirror and reflect upon your good attributes. there will always be some, try not to be vain and don't think about anything you don't like-that doesn't matter. you will reveal your true beauty 

for now i think i'll stay away from candles

blessed be for tonight

Citrine

the Full Moon was hectic to say the least and my witch barely scraped a minute to honor the moon. my witch said she was going to go outside, and take her with me but when she realized the temperature was 0 degree's i think she did a double take.

Later the next day my witch decided to introduce me to her collection of gemstones to learn their properties. this was boring, but the citrine gemstone caught my eye immediately  it was so round and seemed to reflect light from all angles, it almost radiated happiness!!

when my witch left the room, i quickly grabbed the stone and made a dash for under the bed, and there i stayed feeling very content with myself, playing with the citrine. unfortunately it never lasts because when my witch noticed that her citrine had disappeared she looked under the bed and found me. i tried my kitty best to keep hold of the pretty stone but alas, my paws were soon pried open.

i thought i was going to be in trouble but instead my witch laughed and told me that "Citrine is a happy gemstone, it releases positivity and rarely needs to be cleansed. It's my favorite."

gemstones weren't my thing beforehand but now i feel my mind is changed and i must have my citrine gemstone in my  familiar box at all times.

here to help!

my witch is a stressy being, obsessed with making lists. her current list goes as such: h

make charm bags

perform a true beauty spell (do not judge, it’s a spell to raise your esteem)

grow some catnip and other herbs   !! 

make and protect my book of shadows-

collect flowers and press them

make an amulet

potions

attach a citrine gemstone to my wand and finish my rune carvings

figure out a way of a familiar-friendly altar.

she expects me to help her with all of these lengthy tasks and not moan, of course- i can't wait to get my paws on the catnip but i don't know how i'm going to help with the Amulet? 

Full Moon!

As usual i get very excited whenever the full moon comes around because this means fun. rituals, esbat spells and more. As it is March it is the Storm Moon, and i don't like the sound of storms but my witch says it'll be fine. there have been quite a few storms recently and they frighten me so much!! the weather is having a funny spell at the moment. Snow and Storms in Spring?? this isn't right!!

Snow

oh snow. it's cold and wet and annoying. it gets my paws soggy. we've just had Ostara! it's supposed to be Spring!! the flowers are supposed to be out for me to frolic in!
So to cheer me up, my witch has sewn me a mouse toy, purely for my own use!! soon she says she will be growing some catnip for me too...
M.F

Collars.

Thank the Goddess. my witch says as soon as i arrive properly into her house that i shall not be forced to wear a collar. What ghastly things i find them! micro-chipping for me, even though it is rather un-witchy like, she would rather that than me strangle myself. i agreed with her sentiment.

:(

Ostara has passed, but know i may officially rejoice in spring time! It is still sooo cold but when i see all those lovely crocus's and daffodils to romp around in my heart lifts a little. Sadly i still cannot go outside but when i do, the whole garden will be at my command, and i am going to persuade my witch to grow me some catnip.

My witches wondering a

Today my witch has been distressed.
"How exactly does one go about training a familiar?" She says.
Indeed as the cat in question I do not know. However according to my mistress a familiar is a close spiritual friend of the witch and helps her in her witchy tasks.
I am sure to help in anyway I can I hope. And hopefully my miss will not be disappointed.

the basics about me.

My full name is Murphy Flinn
My witch calls me broomstick but i'm not sure why and sometimes Panda or Pooky because i'm black and white.
I am 10 months old!
I am a black and white domestic short-haired cat.
my favorite thing to do it to lie somewhere warm and undisturbed.
My witch mistress is called Williow.

The witches note

so i've set up this little diary for my new familiar-in-training, as inspired by grimalkins diary.
