The belief that felines are synonymous with bad omens was born many years ago and, today, it no longer makes sense; see what care to take with your pet
Unfortunately, people are still very prejudiced against black cats. Many of them believe, based on superstition, that felines are a symbol of bad omens and negative energy. But none of this is true. Understand why and where this belief comes from through knowledge of the tarot reader Fernanda Arjona.
The witches’ black cat
In Sumerianat the time of Middle Ageswomen were responsible for brewing beer, and coincidentally, that’s where the stories about witches emerged. The reason? Cauldrons were used to boil the grains and hats to warn that the product was ready. In this way customers could see the accessory from afar and, as they approached, they would also notice the broom, which was placed against the door of the house for the same purpose.
Right. But where is the black cat? He, for his part, has always been at the side of the professionals, because there are mice in the grain barns. Then, step into the role of predator. Furthermore, these same women also worked with herbs and ointments: the ancient medicinal ointments. And so the felines helped maintain the hygiene of the place. “It was believed that every black cat could carry a human soul with it. In this case, that of the witch. So it made no sense to kill the witch if the feline was nearby”says Arjona.
Why the black cat?
Fernanda explains that people believe that the color black refers to darkness, darkness. And when you walk the streets at night and meet a cat, you only notice their eyes. “As a result, humans became frightened and began to consider the feline as a treacherous animal.”. As a result, with all this belief in the imagination of the people of the time, this narrative came to be seen as truth.
Also in the year 1230 Pope Gregory IX wrote the bull “Vox in Rama”which aimed to combat a certain type of devil worship and contained rituals that included the black cat. According to tradition, this was enough for the animal to become one of the targets of persecution. And, in 1560 – a time when the cat population was increasing – a black cat was injured by stones in the city of LincolnshireIn Englandand ran to the house of an elderly lady, who, in turn, appeared injured the next day. This was enough to strengthen the imagination.
It is interesting to note that in 14th centurythe bubonic plague appeared and was said to be due to the absence of cats, as rats proliferated and spread the disease which lasted until 1720.
Where are cats venerated?
Despite this view, in many other corners of the world, cats are synonymous with good energy and happiness. “N/a Thailandthe cats ran free through the plantations to bring rain and prosperity. Node EgyptTHE Bastet she is a goddess responsible for female fertility, she was invoked by women to be able to get pregnant and have a successful pregnancy. Maneki Neko is the cat who calls, brings abundance and prosperity to all”precise.
Take care of your kitten
Finally, Fernanda Arjona asks anyone who has a black kitten to be careful. “Keep them safe at home during this Friday the 13th. It’s a week where they are stolen, taken and harmed. To give you an idea, many places that work with adoption stop, because there are still many people who do it evil and uses the cat for magic”I notify.
