Many say that witches favor cats because they are the physical portayal of a metaphysical being. Able to go between this world and the next, cats possess a defiance and self-confidence necessary for such spiritual translations. Their eyes glow at night, when caught in certain light, and they are armed with wit, balance, and sharp implements. These very elements are what give them such an otherworldy appearance. Feline grace is woven hand in hand with the supernatural appeal.
And I met two such nice and witchy-looking cats when on a pleasant walk the other night. And very witch-looking houses. I wish I were a witch. And I don't mean in the generic "Harry Potter" sence, nor the haunting Mayfare witches [Anne Rice's the Witching Hour, although I just started reading it and haven't actually reached the part about any witches, but so far the book is slightly haunting with it's hand-oracles and gentlemen ghosts and whatnot]. But rather the "I lead a normal life but with certain enhancements" type of witch. I would make potions and catechize the night skies to help a friend's love-situation or badluck run. I would make soups in the same cauldron I make goodluck guck. On Halloween my house is the most decorated and the pumpkins on my doorstep are magically animated. My favorite shoes are 17th century victorian lace-up boots with a curled toe, but most of my wardrobe is Target haha.
Anyway I digress, I digress.
I thought a main character was going to die, in the last Harry Potter. SPOILERS!! And him dying then coming back doesn't count, but I was very shocked about one of the twin's death. And then the epilogue was a little lame, and there were too many kids and names at once. But overall very enthralling, quick and good read. I'm now onto The Book of Joby I randomly found at Borders and convinced someone to buy. About a bet between Lucifer and God. The language is a little heavy, but I think it's well written so far [isn't that a straight up contradiction?] The main character is a young boy...so that was definitely unexpected.
yum, books
