I love it !

This book is a perfect one to read, snuggled up with your cat or your familiar. I know that when I pull my copy out to read, my familiar likes to be near me. Coincidence? I think not... I absolutely adore Dugan's books. Her writing style and personal stories are never boring, and they always add to the magic of the books. Some of the spells inside include: working with cat deities to enhance your life, spells to help you bond with your familiar, protection and negativity-removal spells, and a pet-memorial/passing spell to help ease the heartbreak that we all feel when we lose a pet cat. If you're a cat lover, or have a cat as your familiar, there is no better book than this to get! Its simply "purrfect."

a delightful exploration of the feline persuasion

I am most definitely a cat person, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I found "The Enchanted Cat," by Ellen Dugan to be a delightful exploration of the feline persuasion and a fun book to explore. Geared toward Wiccans, the book details feline fascination, spells and magick. Starting with the history of cats and their influence on our lives, then examining the cat Deities, are wonderful introductions to feline whiles and ways. Then a look at feline folklore and divination, and a wonderful chapter on cat magick bring readers deeper into the embrace of feline affection and admiration. Guides to feline power animals, and selecting a name for your own familiar, round out the book that is jam packed with spells, incantations, quotations of feline fancy, and so much more. Ellen Dugan is gifted when it comes to writing in a personally outreaching way. When reading her work, it is like reading a letter from your favorite witchy friend. You won't want it to end. But with this particular title, the delight keeps going as you take your new knowledge and apply it to your life. Of course, you may be inspired to add to your cat family, and at the least, you'll be enticed to cuddle up with the one or two you already have, gaze into their eyes and embrace the magick!

Awesome

I love Ellen. I have several of her books. She is a master at simplifying a subject and breaking it down into bite sized pieces. My feline companion enjoyed the information as well.

Fun and entertaining magickal cat book

I have other books by Ellen Dugan and this book is of the same good quality as the other books I have. This really is a book about Enchanted Cat with the feline fascinations, spells and magick. So if your familiar is a cat then this is a good book to have in your collection. But even if your familiar is an owl or toad, this is still a good read on enchanted cats.

What I was looking for in a magical cat book

"The Enchanted Cat" by Ellen Dugan is exactly the book I had been hoping for back when I ordered "Cat Magic: Mews, Myths and Mystery" by Patricia Telesco (and was very disappointed). Ellen Dugan covers a bit of feline history and lore, yet is able to apply it to the present with spells and activities you can do now with your cat(s). A variety of spell subjects are covered that include your cat(s) and/or hairs shed from your cat. There's a kitten blessing, feline naming ritual, listing of names (with a witchy slant) for cats and their meanings. The back of the book contains a "workbook" and journal with subject headings. Ellen Dugan really nailed this one!
