Video features a black cat.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The folklore surrounding black cats varies from culture to culture. The Scottish believe that a strange black cat&#8217;s arrival to the home signifies prosperity. In Celtic mythology, a fairy known as the Cat S\u00ecth takes the form of a black cat. Black cats are also considered good luck in Japan. Furthermore, it is believed that a lady who owns a black cat will have many suitors. However, in Western history, black cats have often been looked upon as a symbol of evil omens, specifically being suspected of being the familiars of witches, and so most of Europe considers the black cat a symbol of bad luck, especially if one crosses paths with a person, which is believed to be an omen of misfortune and death. In Germany, some believe that black cats crossing a person&#8217;s path from right to left, is a bad omen. But from left to right, the cat is granting favorable times.<\/p>\n<p>The black cat in folklore has been able to change into human shape to act as a spy or courier for witches or demons. When the Pilgrims arrived at Plymouth Rock, they brought with them a devout faith in the Bible. They also brought a deepening suspicion of anything deemed of the devil and were a deeply suspicious group. They viewed the black cat as a companion, or a familiar to witches. Anyone caught with a black cat would be severely punished or even killed. They viewed the black cat as part demon and part sorcery. &#8212; Wikipedia<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Daniel &#8212; Vocals, Keyboards<\/p>\n<p>From the album <a href=\"http:\/\/camelot.kingarthur.com\/Daniel-Brouse\/Eat-It\/\"><strong><em>Eat It!<\/em><\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nby <a href=\"http:\/\/idea.membrane.com\">Daniel Brouse<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LYRICS Scary sorcery Amen or omen Evil demon Or getting lucky Nose twitches Familiar with witches The crossing of a path God&#8217;s wrath Is left to right alright Scottish or pettish Celtic mythology Fairly fairy genealogy Death by misfortune Granting favorable times The stuff of nursery rhymes Specifically suspected At the black cat Omen Amen [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[6,9,11,14],"tags":[68,70,2803,198,2799,2811,312,3213,2806,487,2810,541,546,556,563,578,613,1751,998,759,781,782,829,869,897,941],"class_list":["post-9689","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chords","category-daniel","category-halloween","category-lyrics","tag-all-saints-eve","tag-alternative","tag-black-cat","tag-daniel-brouse","tag-eat-it","tag-folklore","tag-free","tag-halloween","tag-hallowmas","tag-live","tag-mischief-night","tag-mp3-downloads","tag-mp4","tag-music","tag-music-videos","tag-new","tag-original","tag-progressive","tag-psychedelic","tag-singer","tag-songs","tag-songwriter","tag-superstitions","tag-trick-or-treat","tag-vocals","tag-youtube"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9689","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9689"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9689\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9699,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9689\/revisions\/9699"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9689"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9689"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9689"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
