What you need: 1 yellow candle (more if you like), your cat, and alot of patience.
It is best to do this on a Wendsday.
Cast your circle. Now sit the candle in front of you. Light it. Place your feline friend behind the candle and get him/her to sit still. Now here is the fun part. Get the cat's attention and make sure throughout the spell that he or she is paying complete attention.
I call upon the power of Athena, The Goddess of Knowledge and Wisdom. Give me the power for what I teach. Teach this feline the gift of speech. Hand (cats name) this voice strong and clear. One that only I can hear. This spell I cast will last until his/her death. And then at peace, her voice will rest. Three times three, So mote it be. Three times three, so mote it be. Three times three, so mote it be.
Then pick up your feline and give him/her a big embrace. Then thank the Goddess for her help.
Get a white candle-either a plain one (offertory, pillar, or taper) or a figural one in the gender of the person you want to bless.
Carve the person's full name on the candle, then dress it with Blessing Oil or Holy Oil.
For more power, you may place a name-paper of the person, or a photo, or some personal item of theirs (such as a bit of hair or a snippet of clothing) either under the candle or next to it. One easy way to do this is to place the paper or personal concerns under an overturned saucer and put the candle on top of the saucer.
Burn a portion of the candle every day for seven days, pinching it out between burnings. As you light it each day, say this
[Name], may you be blessed May all good things come to you\ May nothing whatsoever harm you May your heart be light May your travels be safe May your health be good May your mind be sound May your friendships sustain you May you be blessed in every way
If you have a special request for this person (such as that they find a lover, get a good job, come home safely from a war, or whatever), just add it to the list.
Some people use a large pillar-type candle and keep it going for longer than seven days.
They may make a habit of burning such a candle every day-or once a week, on Sundays -- for as long as their friend or relative needs help, even doing so for months at a time.
If the candle is large and it is to be burned in this way, it should be re-dressed with Blessing Oil or Holy Oil once a week: after the initial dressing, you can drop a tiny bit of oil into the "well" or hole in such a large candle just before lighting it each time.
