Do you have pets, and if so, do they have any response to magicking? My cat usually hangs out when I tarot and seems to respond to ‘reiki’ (or whatever).

I do. My old little hound mutt, and my beautiful baby girl, a 100-lb Alaskan Malamute that just adores me. Saved her from an abusive asshole when she was just a pup. They love to go sniff around the ancestor altar and they are always calm and well behaved in my temple. They often go in there at weird times for no reason. They’re probably talking to the spirits. After my old corgi passed away this summer, they were pretty shook up. But after I put his ashes on the ancestor altar they spent a lot of time in there and and they got better.
