I is for Dragon’s Blood Ink

I

 

 

Dragon Blood Ink

 

Items You Will Need:

1 part of powdered Dragon’s Blood Resin

12 – 15 parts of Alcohol

1 part of Arabic Gum

A few drops of essential oil of Cinnamon or Myrrh

Make all your resin a powder and add the ground Arabic Gum. Then add the alcohol just a little bit every time, till all the powder is dissolved completely. This might take some time.

Filter through a strainer on which you have attached a piece of cloth (clean piece of cloth, a cloth you will not need again).

Store the ink in a bottle and inscribe on it the name of the ink. Keep on your altar ready to be used.

Best time to make this ink is during the Waxing Moon.

Special Kitty of the Day for Spring Equinox!

Za'rour, the Cat of the Day
Name: Za’rour
 Age: Eight months old
Gender: Male
 Kind: Orange Tabby
Home: Damascus, Syria
Hi there, my name is Za’rour and my name is Arabic for “Hawthorn.” When I first heard this name I told myself “what kind of name is that???” then I understood that the sound of my name is similar to the Arabic translation for “Mischievous.” Still, I do not know how my parents chose this name, I mean I am so kind and gentle, my voice is hardly heard too, and I do not disturb them at all, unlike my cat-friend who keeps nagging and running around the house. Humans are strange.

Anyways, let me tell you more about me, I remember being so skinny and weak before, but now I am so fluffy, healthy and handsome. I also remember having a family of four cute sisters but now all I care about is my human family, especially mommy who loves me so much to the extent that she is ready to wake up when I do just to play and cuddle with me, although she works so much and she’s most of the time tired, I really appreciate that.

I also love the fact that she always gives me treats when I behave, and man those Salmon treats are sooo delicious.

In a nutshell, I live a life that most of other cats would envy, I am pampered, taken-care of – although I hate the bathing and nail-clipping part of the care I get – and I would never think of leaving this wonderful family I have.
