crossed a black cats past
I was in a car, my mother driving me to a baseball game, and we drove pass a black cat. It seemed to be about to cross my path, but when we crossed it, and it looked at me almost supprised, with these green eyes, DIRECTLY at me. I'm emphatic, and meditate never really practiced magic maybe 3 or 4 times, what doe this mean? Will I get good luck or bad luck?

Maybe give some free advice about: What does it mean??
I have a black cat and he crosses my path several times a day and looks at me with his big green eyes. The only bad luck so far has been his! I took him to the vet and had his testicles removed! I pretty much believe we make our own luck!(unless you're a cat!)

Rainhorse is right about the superstitions regarding cats. A year ago I stumbled upon information that black cats used to be considered good luck and if you saw a white cat, it meant you'd encounter bad luck.
How much belief can you put on something where the meaning of it changes with the ages?
I personally believe in Omens or signs, but not a "one size fits all" type of sign. If something that crosses your path or you happen to see during your day is meaningful to you due to a past experience, then it applies, just to you, not anyone else.
Here's an example from my life. About 10 years ago, I had the experience of my spirit guide appear to me in my mind as I rested on a massage table. I had a conversation with him. He told me that I would soon meet a 2nd spirit guide. I wasn't even curious about or sure I believed in them until this experience. He said the 2nd one would leave his calling card with signs before he appeared to me.
One morning, our cat wanted to go out the front door, I opened it for her. And spotted 2 crow feathers laying on the welcome mat. I picked them up and noticed the cat hadnt gone out, She turned and ran to the back door now. So I opened that door and laying on the back porch was another crow feather. Got to my parking spot at work, and just where my foot was about to go as I exited my car was....you guessed it, another crow feather. That kept happening until my 2nd guide made himself known, the word Crow was in his name. Later I was told when I saw a crow feather or a crow appear or do something unusual in my presence, it meant my spirit guides were trying to get my attention, for me to clear my mind and focus, they had something to tell me.
If you have been looking into spells, witchcraft and omens or anything of pagan beliefs, you can ask questions of me. I started out in traditional churches and outgrew that construct spiritually. So when that time came, the Holy Spirit moved me on to study the similarities of christianity vs paganism. Christianity is modeled after Paganism but paganism includes many varieties of earth based beliefs, encompasses Witches or wiccans and Druids too. I believe and accept many other belief systems now. But feel most comfortable with being a solitary practioner in paganism, mostly due to my roots and start in Christianity. So if you ever have any other questions in this area, feel free to ask me dear.

I find old supertitions fascinating. Black cats have had both good and bad luck associated with them. Black cats are often considered lucky, black cats 'crossing your path' usually an ill omen. Generally regarded as witches using the form of a cat to go about discretely, and called a 'fetch' in old English folklore (I'm English). If a black cat sits watching you for a while you're supposed to say "Witch depart, if fetch thou art. Too long hast sat, if thou art cat." And see if the cat gets up and leaves. In old folklore witches may also have a black cat which was called their 'familiar' and had more than the regular feline abilities and powers of a pet cat. I love old folklore, be a shame if there's ever a day nobody recalls it. Could tell you tales of ravens, magpies, weather, yew trees, holly trees, mistletoe, (most of our trees and wildflowers actually!) and loads more. No idea why it fascinates me. Hope ya cat's lucky, or at least not unlucky! X
ps. The bad luck of the cat crossing your path would only thwart your projects for the rest of that day, no longer. And you could offset the bad omen by crossing your fingers and spitting when it crosses you. So you know what to do next time!

The superstition is that when a black cat crosses your path you get bad luck. But don't follow superstition. Make your own luck!
