About This Item
London: Bracken Books, (1993). First Edition, 254pp, index, illustrated. Fine in Fine dj. From the dj: "This fascinating book compiles manifestations of cat-worship in many parts of the world. For example, the Egyptians' two-headed cat goddesses, Bast and Sekhmet, were identified with benevolence and vengeance respectively. The cat has been all things to all people: a vampire and a goddess of the corn harvest; a heraldic symbol and an evil omen; a creature so potent in its magic that the builders of Westminster Abbey are said to have sacrificed one by bricking it into the walls.".
