A "Familiar" is often considered a guardian spirit that offers aid and companionship to a witch. Manifesting in diverse forms, a familiar can be a cherished pet, a significant spirit animal, or even an invisible, supportive entity. It's not compulsory for every witch to have a familiar, and some may not even be conscious of their familiar's existence. If you find yourself drawn towards a particular animal or share a deep connection with it, that might be your familiar. Further bonding can also occur in the spiritual plane during practices such as meditation or astral travel, potentially leading to more discoveries about your spiritual ally.
