Emporiblog - Cat Colours

-
Hello all! As you may have gathered, we are rather fond of cats so, after a trip down a proverbial rabbit hole, here is a culmination of what different colour cats mean to the craft!

There will be numerous photos of cats so beware of cuteness!


We'll be starting with....

Orange 
(This is our own supreme kitty overlord, Ginge aka Lord Moosleton III) 

Orange cats are associated with:

- Solar energy 
- Happiness 
- Leadership 
- Cheerfulness 
- Encouragement 

Fun fact - Female orange cats are rare!



Black 

(This is our squeaky void who goes by many names)

Black cats are associated with:

- Protection 
- Warding off negativity 
- Security 
- Banishing 
- Intuition 

Fun fact - Due to silly, baseless superstitions, black cats are less likely to get adopted than any other colour! 



Calico/Tortoiseshell/Tortie and White 

(This is Sausage, also known as Handbag due to the way her tail curves up when she stands up)

Due to confusion between the breeds and even more confusion with a subcategory specific to England, I'm putting these into one section, so here goes:

Calico:

- Relationships 
- Prosperity 
- Fortune 

Tortoiseshell/Tortie and White 

- Psychic abilities 
- Future sight
- Fortune 
- Protection at sea

Fun fact - In the UK, Tortoiseshell cats can have white patches hence the category, Tortie and White! Tortoiseshell males are also extremely rare and are born sterile.



White
(This is the cat across the street, I don't know what his name is but I call him fluffy marshmallow) 

White cats are associated with:

- Boosting psychic powers 
- Happiness 
- Good luck 

Fun fact - White cats with blue eyes are most likely completely deaf and white cats with one eye blue from heterochromia are likely to be deaf on the side with the blue eye!



Two Tone
(This is our resident braincell search party)

Two Tone cats are associated with:

- Warding of evil
- Good luck 

Fun fact - Two Tone cats can have multitude of different colour combinations and markings!



Siamese 

(Yes, I know the Void is here twice but she's part Siamese so it counts!)

Siamese cats are associated with:

- Fortune 
- Good luck 
- Warding off evil 

Fun fact - Siamese cats are more likely to have gastrointestinal issues than other cats!



Gray

Gray cats are associated with:

- Hope
- Support 
- Guidance 
- Bringing rain
- Beauty 
- Harvest 
- Good luck 

Fun fact - Gray cats are also sometimes referred to as blue!



Brown 

(Photo from petkeen.com)

Brown cats are associated with:

- Peace
- Grounding 
- Love
- Companionship 

Fun fact - Pure brown cats are extremely rare! Coat colour names include chocolate and cinnamon.


I think we'll leave this here, that's enough cuteness for one day! And remember: adopt don't shop!

Ancestral Work (part 1 )

 Ancestral Communication and Work. Hi Guys, It's me again, as this is work that I have been actively doing, and Cat and I agreed that I would do this post for you. It seems to fit in well with the season. We have discussed this subject briefly in some other posts, such as Vivianite  (just use the search function and input ancestors or spirit work, and you will find the posts to read whichever ones shout at you, as there are too many mentions to put them in here). We discussed communication with spirits in a previous post but this is a lot more specific as it deals with our own flesh and blood. I do have a qualification in Ancestral Healing, so this is a precursor to any more in-depth posts that we may do in the future if you want them. The pic above is one I took recently when I felt the call to tend to the graves of my nan, and her mum, whose headstone is pictured above. As with a lot of practices, you can be as elaborate or as basic as you need.       ...
