Le Chat dans les Mystères de la Religion et de la Magie - Broché

The original 1930 edition, meticulously preserved. This edition moves beyond the sterile, mass-market reproductions often found today to bring you a premium Collector's Facsimile. Every page maintains the historical pagination and aesthetic of the source text, paired with a bespoke cover design unique to this imprint.In The Cat in the Mysteries of Religion and Magic, M. Oldfield Howey takes readers on a dazzling, esoteric journey through the shadowy realms where whiskers meet the divine. From the moon-glow eyes of Bast, lioness-goddess of Bubastis, to the spectral feline familiars haunting medieval imagination, this eccentric and richly annotated volume unearths the cat's manifold incarnations across myth, ritual, and superstition. Equal parts scholarly and delightfully arcane, the book seduces the curious mind with tales of sistrums, transmigrating temple cats, and lunar symbolism, revealing how this elegant creature slinked-gracefully and enigmatically-into the heart of humanity's most sacred and magical beliefs.
