On September 30 1998 -- Beloved pet and familiar Smokey died. She was killed by a car but thanks to a kind soul her body was removed from the road and put on the grass.
" Wherever I am she is. Wherever she is I am." I will always love you Smokey.
NOTES: I did this on a FULL MOON. I highly recommend this. Eat no meat or animal on this night.

To as far as my voice may carry,
I call upon Bast, lovely Goddess of cats!
I call upon Diana, lovely Goddess of all animals!
May you all be present this night.
Smokey, my beloved friend and familiar, has passed from this
world, this life.
She needs your assistance, lovely Goddesses!
We both welcome you here -- Blessed Be!
# Light White Candle (Dark Coloured Ribbon tied)
# Smokey, beloved friend and familiar, present yourself to me,
within this sacred circle, where you are loved.
Let the light and love of my heart be your guide to The
Summerlands. You will be welcomed, wanted and loved here,
always and forever. Come, please, my beloved friend, so that
I may serve and know you one last time, as you have so
graciously served me.
# Speak with Smokey -- Tell her how much I miss and love her, etc.

[Bowl of water] I bless you this day to be a holy vessel
to honour the unselfish spirits of the animals who have
passed before. I bless you with the Elements of Nature:
Earth, Air, Fire and Water so that the animal souls of
The Summerland be welcomed to this place.
May all who come here feel blessed and loved. May no
negative thought or feeling be present at this place. With
loving intent and as I will -- So mote it be!
