Idea for witches with cats

bigfatwitchbitch:

So everyone loves sigils, and everyone is always asking people how to charge them… Well, I just thought of something.

This idea was inspired by my cat, Peetie, putting his front paws into the small notebook I use for sigils and not letting me have it. (typical cat)

He loves to play with balls of paper, so I’m thinking:

  1. Draw a sigil
  2. Wad up the paper
  3. Let your cat play with it
  4. BOOM! Charged sigil!

Of course, there’s also just letting them have the paper un-balled and letting them chew on it, supervised, of course.

But this is such a simple and cute idea that I had to share.
