SITH CAT

SITH CAT OF THE HIGHLANDS-
Hello my Dearest, friends, Followers, Supporters and Readers of my humble blog. I found a new fun magick creature called the  Sith Cat from the Gaelic Legend of Scotland.
 It's basically a monstrous cat of Scotland Folklore. It would seem that the people of Scotland
Highland did not trust the Sith Cat. They believed that it could steal a person's 
Soul before it was claimed by the Gods by passing over a corpse 
Before they were able to complete the burial; Therefore, watchers called the 
'Fall Fadalach' were performed night & day 
To keep the Sith Cat away from the 
Corpse before burial. Methods of 
'Distraction'  would be such games as leaping & Wrestling, Catnip, riddles, & music would be Employed to
Keep the Sith Cat away from the room in 
Which the corpse is at rest. In addition, there were  No fires where the body lay, as it was legend that the Sith Cat was attracted to the warmth of the fire. On the Samhain, which is a Gaelic festival marking the ending of the harvest season and the 
Beginning of winter, it was believed that the Sith Cat would bless any house that left a saucer Of milk out for it to drink, but those houses that did not
Let out a saucer of milk would be cursed into having all of their cow's milk dry.
In some common folklore, it is also suggested that the Sith Cat are not Faeries 
But, witches that can transform into a cat. 
There are differences in the details in these tales regarding the 
Transformations of the Sith Cat into a witch. Some say that these witches are 
Limited to transforming into a cat nine times while others say the witch will be trapped 
In which ever form she takes in her ninth transformation. 
The Gaelic Silt Cat is described an enormous black BEAST! It's about the size of a very large dog with a white mark on its chest. It has shaggy rough fur like bristles instead of of soft fur of a normal cat. The SITH CAT, also has a menacingly arched back. The Highlanders of Scotland firmly believe  that this evil creature was the metamorphosed of a black magick witch! 
Well, that is the legend of the Sith Cat of the Highlands of Scotland.
I hope that you enjoy the short but sweet tale. 
Love you all
Your Friend always 
WENDY
