Burial

my friends cat is being put down tomorrow, and she needs me to help her with a ritual for the funeral. so far all i know is pray to Bastest, anyone know of any rituals for a cat funeral?

Bastet? The Egyptian Cat Godess? I would suggest placing something shaped like an Ankh (hope I spelled it right) upon the grave to symbolise new life.

Maybe go out and get a baby tree or flowers to plant near the burial site. To symbolize the whole 'with death comes life' thing. Plus it might help her to have a physical reprisentation she can come back to. Maybe? if its a stupid idea just ignore me. lol

Freyja is the Norse Goddess associated with cats.

Here's some things you may look at for some different ideas (remove any spaces that may appear):

thanks. my friend doesn't associate the god and goddess with anything really, i'm the one who suggested bast [bastet, bastest, and however else you want to spell it] to her because i followed the egyptian path for a long time and still pray to their gods. i'll look into those sites, thanks for the idea's ^_^
