Throughout
history the cat has been revered. In Celtic lore the cat represents
the guardian of the Otherworld. They keep the secrets of the
Otherworld eternally to themselves, as they gaze with guile upon a world
that does not see or understand the depth of their knowledge. In
Ancient Rome they were sacred to Diana, and were also considered to be a
home guardian and a symbol of domestic goodness. Norse lore depicts
them drawing the chariot of their fertility goddess, Freyja, a blessing
upon newborns. In Egypt cats were sacred and were even depicted on the
head of their lunar goddess, Bastet which was worshipped by the ancient
Egyptians. In her honor, cats were even mummified along with mice for
them to eat.
The Mystic Moon Cat Pendant
calls forth all the mysteries, stealth, agility and serenity of the
cat. Long known as a familiar of witches, companion of Goddesses, and
confidante of millions, cats walk freely and confidently in the world of
humans while maintaining all of their feline independence and skills.
Hand cast in sterling silver, the Mystic Moon Cat Pendant is a delightful piece of jewelry for those who feel close to cats and their history.
