Hexahemeron Cat - Art Print

“The latest turn to the mysterious case, however, is the most interesting of all. A black cat owned by a Schuylkill Haven man has been found by the "hex" doctors to be a "hexahemeron cat." This cat is said to have been born on the 6th day of the sixth month in 1906, and to have been one of a litter of six kittens. It was blind only six days after being born, whereas all ordinary cats are blind nine days. The word hexahemeron is taken from two Greek words, "hex" and "hemera," and means a completion in six parts. It is usually used in referring to the six days' labor of Creation, as described in the first chapter of Genesis.

While there are only five books in Moses in the authorized Bible, the hex, doctors declare they have a sixth book of Moses. In this book the witch of Endor describes full power to the hexahemeron cat in warding off evil spells. It was declared that the "hex cat" had beyond doubt an engagement with the evil one, whereby it had imparted to it an imp, or spirit. The Schuylkill Haven cat has never eaten anything but toads, frogs, lizards and serpents, and the hex doctors agreed that its presence will restore the Thomas homestead to a normal condition.” - Sausalito News, CA - 24 February 1912

The Hexahemeron cat in this illustration is training up to fight his greatest foe yet. While the snake looks like it’s about to ensnare our guardian, this cat was born to take nasty spirits down, and he will be victorious.
