Bronze Cat Moon Pentagram Pendant

As an ancient symbolic Celtic animal, the cat represents the guardian of the Otherworld (or Underworld, depending which texts you read from various regions). Stoic, silent and mysterious, cats fit the bill of Otherworld guardians quite well. 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. However, black cats in Celtic lore were considered evil, and were sacrificed.
in Ancient Rome the cat was sacred to Diana, the moon goddess. Here the cat was also considered a guardian of homes and a symbol of domestic goodness.
In Norse legend the cat is depicted drawing the chariot of their fertility goddess, Freyja, and therefore the cat is thought of as a blessing upon newborns and a good omen for those increasing their family ranks.
In ancient 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.
Cats have some amazing qualities. They are intelligent, intuitive, supernatural, watchful, selective and independent.
Cats themselves are quite resourceful and tend to give us messages of change, flexibility of adaptability. Often, when a cat makes an uncommon appearance in our lives it is a message for us to shake up our habitual routines and make some fresh changes in our lives, as well as be more flexible in our thinking.

This beautiful cat is handmade of bronze and sits on an intricate Celtic moon, which further symbolises the mysterious nature of the feline creatures. Inside the moon hides a bordered pentagram which will bring the protection of the elements to the wearer. The pendant measures:
3.5cm long
2.2cm wide
The pendant will be sent with an adjustable black cotton strap, but it also looks lovely with any metal chain (silver, gold, bronze…etc).
