Cat Symbolism / Folklore - Spirit Guide / Teacher / Totem
Cat is secretive, the mystic, the curious one. Many of the Celtic legends picture the cat as a ferocious creature, but that may have been because cats at that time were untamed. In Ireland Finn mac Cumhail was said to have fought a clan of "cat-headed" people. The cat is a strong protector, especially when placed in confrontation. Cat looks for answers when all else gives up. Cat is closely associated the Moon, Air, and secrets. Cat magicks involve stealth, seeking, keeping secrets, seeing the unseen, and keeping one's poise - especially in stressful situations.
