The Cat in Magic and Myth

The Cat in Magic and Myth Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The cat has symbolized a host of virtuous and degenerate concepts: good and evil, light and darkness, religion and black magic. This intriguing book traces the history of these fascinating creatures--from vampire and clairvoyant cats to cats in heraldry, as sacrificial objects, and idols of secret sects. Rare illustrations from ancient Egyptian sources, Japanese art, and studies by da Vinci enhance discussions of ghostly cats, the symbology of cat and mouse, and the cat's nine lives. 50 black-and-white illustrations.
