Natalie Bovis is a freelance lifestyle writer, cat mom to five feisty felines, and enthusiast of all things fantastical, historical, and mythological. She has an English mum and French dad but grew up in Santa Fe, New Mexico, a place renown for being a magical energy vortex and refuge for artists of all kinds. Natalie is an animal advocate, kitten fosterer, and fundraiser for rescue organizations. Her hobbies include hiking, traveling, and vegetarian cooking. Natalie also produces culinary events and cultural vacation yoga retreats in the U.S. and Europe. She is the author of several mixology books, including Drinking with My Dog and Cocktails with My Cat.
But Natalie doesn’t just write about mixology! Today, we’ll be talking about Natalie’s new book and oracle deck, Cat Gods, Goddesses, Deities and Demons, which will be released in April. In this gorgeously illustrated collection, you’ll discover 51 of the most common and not-so-common cat gods, goddesses, deities, and demons from around the world and how to incorporate their Divine Feline Energy into your daily life. You’ll meet 51 feline deities and demons from four geographical families around the world—Africa, Americas, Asia, and Europe. You’ll also encounter mystical cats who work in alliance with human gods and goddesses. The feline entities come from different eras and cultures all over the world. Some are angelic guides, and others, demonic adversaries, but all play a role in our understanding of feline deities and why they became to be so. Learn all about these sacred godlike creatures, including what they look like, what they symbolize, and how you can use their spirit and ancient wisdom to tap into your own Divine Feline Energy.
GUIDEBOOK
Throughout time, felines have played a sacred role in human life. Archeologists have found cat remains buried with humans as far back as the tenth millennium BCE in Cyprus, and the Greek goddess Hecate is said to have regularly assumed the form of a cat. Hieroglyphics tell us that ancient Egyptians worshipped cat gods, and their queen Cleopatra had a kitty companion in her palace whom she called Tivali. A Chinese cat goddess called Li Shou is said to have protected farmers from mice, and Ai Apaec was a pre-Inca god with fangs and whiskers said to have descended from an even more ancient cat god.
This book is more than a guide to ancient cat gods. It’s an exploration of the way humans have observed, interacted with, learned from, and revered another species who share the Earth with us. Ancient folklore is rife with examples of animal cunning and compassion, and many humans invoked other species as spiritual guides or flat out worshipped them as gods. Arguably, cats are the most intriguing of animals because of how we can relate to them. Much like us, they are free spirits and adaptable survivors. We admire them for their dignity, independence, and ferocity.
In this gorgeously illustrated guidebook, you’ll meet 51 feline deities and demons from four geographical families around the world—Africa, Americas, Asia, and Europe. You’ll also encounter mystical cats who work in alliance with human gods and goddesses. The feline entities come from different eras and cultures all over the world. Some are angelic guides, and others, demonic adversaries, but all play a role in our understanding of feline deities and why they became to be so.

Laura Hirch is an independent conscious filmmaker, journalist and artist. Her works center women, healing, spirituality, mysticism and art. She calls herself a spiritual feminist and an eco feminist, and both of these paths define her creative work. She has studied journalism in Munich, where she was born and raised, and documentary filmmaking in Los Angeles.
Laura is the creator of the independently produced 6-part docuseries FROM THE GODDESS which investigates the central role of the Great Goddess in early history and modern times and explores the concept of Her in many different aspects - from archaeology to social science, art and thealogy. Its aim is to show women that we have played an important role in earlier societies, having been not only worshipped as the creatrix of life but also the bearer of community and a source of sacredness.
The emergence of patriarchy 6000 years ago not only changed the role of women in society but also severed the connection to nature. Through the matriarchal worldview, which is still upheld by indigenous peoples today, we can learn to become better guardians of our Mother Earth once again.

Dale Allen has for 25 years shared the healing energy of the sacred feminine through her work: In Our Right Minds: Guiding Women to Their Strength as Leaders, Leading Men to Strength Without Armor. The piece was first a musical theater production, then a one-women multi-media dynamic presentation, then an award-winning film, now a forthcoming book and a next-level film production. In Our Right Minds has been widely acclaimed in all its forms. As successful live presentation, Dale presented to scores of audiences, touring universities, conferences, corporations, theaters, and expos across the US, Canada, from Kauai to Dubai, and twice to the UN Commission on the Status of Women. (Her encore was requested by the Vice President of the UN Commission, Ambassador Gonzales.) The film screened at the 2023 Parliament of the World’s Religions Film Festival in Chicago. It has been named a Finalist, Official Selection and Semi-Finalist in 19 Independent Film Festivals worldwide.
In Our Right Minds is a sweeping journey covered efficiently and clearly, in short order - judiciously illuminating the history and relevance of the Goddess archetype, its impact on societies where this archetype is active, as well as its connection to our right-brain way of both attending to - and shaping - the world. In Our Right Minds garners praise for being “well-researched, organized, clear, level, balanced, without blame, and inclusive of all the human family.”
Carl Jung wrote in The Structure and Dynamic of the Psyche: “Archetypes, are the living system of reactions and aptitudes that determine the individual’s life in invisible ways. In Our Right Minds looks at the invisible yet powerful ways the Goddess archetype affects persons and cultures. When a society embraces the concept of a female creator, that society behaves differently than a society that embraces a male deity. As Anthropologist Peggy Reeves Sanday documented: there is a clear connection between Goddess veneration and: the honoring of nature, women’s role as officiators of sacred sacraments, connection to the land, and women’s power and social status. In Our Right Minds illuminates historical and current consequences of the suppression of the Goddess archetype, as well as the ways in which the Goddess archetype is being energized globally today. In Our Right Minds coherently and elegantly synthesizes psychology, history, myth, anthropology, sociology, art and poetry into an eye-opening and life-changing alternation of our perspective.
Dale Allen’s YouTube Channel is now featuring Women of the World’s Religions – the Women’s Task Force interview series from the Parliament of the World’s Religions. These can also be heard on “The Dale Allen Podcast” on all podcast platforms. Dale is also a contributing writer in several esteemed books, including international best-seller, Womb to Thrive.
