Pet hypnosis
HOW TO DEAL WITH A PSYCHOTIC PET. Pets are by no means the least important family members, and they should not be left out of the playful side of our magic. My daughter’s pet rabbit behaves like a cat, lying on its back with paws in the air in front of the fire; a friend’s budgerigar barks at their dog, and one of my neighbours has a huge Old English sheepdog which is terrified of small dogs! So what can you do if your white cat wishes he was black? If your pet has a nervous disposition which is spoiling their, or your, life, try the next spell to uncross their hooves or unruffle their whiskers. YOU WILL NEED Essential oils: melissa (lemon balm) oil if your pet is highly strung, clary sage if they are aggressive or hostile, bergamot if they seem despondent or depressed; a blue candle; catmint (25 g dried leaves or flowering tops); classical music (Mozart and Monteverdi recommended) FIRST YOU MUST CLEANSE THE ANIMAL’S SLEEPING QUARTERS, BY SENDING WHITE LIGHT IN A STRONG BEAM FROM YOUR MIND’S EYE AROUND THE WHOLE AREA. Next, take the chosen essential oil/s and sprinkle a couple of drops on their rug or cushion or whatever they sleep on. Pets have very sensitive noses and will sneeze if the dose is too direct or too strong. Burn a blue candle with your pet’s eyes on the flame from time to time (it shouldn’t be difficult to make them curious about what you’re doing), and say a chant to both candle and pet: Repeat their name three times followed by ‘calm calm calm’ several times. GIVE YOUR PET A FEW CHOPPED-UP CATMINT LEAVES (NO PROBLEM FOR CATS, RABBITS, HAMSTERS, MICE ETC; FOR A DOG MAKE A LIGHT TEA AND COOL IT RIGHT DOWN, GIVING JUST A SMALL AMOUNT AS A DRINK). Catmint, apart from its notoriously aphrodisiac reputation for cats, is good for soothing fevers and has mild sedative properties which can even be used for children. Finally, hold a music appreciation class for at least an hour a day for your pet: play some classical music very softly for them. This has more than a calming effect – some people say it improves the milk yield of cows and goats, and its effects on plants have been much discussed. Keep up this course of action over a week or so, and spend a certain amount of time stroking and playing with the animal beforehand. BECAUSE ANIMALS ARE SO VERY SENSITIVE, YOU MAY GET RESULTS FASTER WITH THEM THAN WITH ANY OTHER FAMILY MEMBER.
