The Wyld Road

The Wyld Road: "From The Diminutive Tyger

by William Herringe, 1562

'The cat is called in Hebrew, Catul; in Greek, Ailouros; and in Latin, Catus felis. The Egyptians named it Mau, for the sound of its voice, and gave it worship. To the Northern peoples, it is a Creature of fertility and fortune; but the Romany call it Majicou, and abhor its presence.
All Cats are of a single nature and agree much in one Shape, though they be of different Magnitude; each being a Beast of Prey, the Wild and the Tame, it being in the opinion of many a diminutive Tyger.
The most miraculous of Beasts, it walks invisibly and silently the highways of the Earth, and many believe it invested with the Magick of the World.
The Ancients have prophesied that in every eighty-first generation of the most ancient of the Felidae there shall come a Cat of Power, which shall not be greatest of Magnitude, but possessed of the most exquisite Soul. And the greatest of these shall be the Golden Cat, which shall come only when the ancient north joins with the Eye of Horus, and it shall have the Power to harness the Sunne and the Moon and the Wild Roads, and may render to any so lucky as to possess it to the very Key to knowledge of the Natural World.'"

This Is an interesting Story/Poem? I read at the Beginning of a book I just started called The Wild Road by Gabriel King. It's about a cat of course and it seems to follow an actual mythical background which I have a feeling I'm going to adore and fall in love with. I'm going to link an interesting site for it here, to check out with different sayings about cats. This books adds to the world of cats, and makes you think of what cats really do in their spare times, and if this Wild Road truly exists.
