Familiar animal

We often hear the term “familiar” nowadays, it is applied to the favourite pet of a magickal practitioner. More often, we think of a familiar as an animal that we have a deep spiritual connection with, who guides us to make important life decisions, or even aids in spell work. ⠀

Familiars are creatures who aid witches and are linked to the supernatural. A familiar can be a pet or a wild creature, and a witch might have more than one familiar. While the black cat is most commonly associated with witches, a familiar can be any type of animal. If you are wondering whether or not you have a familiar, check out the list below for common signs.
