A Witch's Familiar
Happy November! Today is all about our Familiars … our Spiritual Companions & Magical Allies. A witch’s familiar, in a traditional sense, is seen as a spiritual entity or animal companion that aids us in our magical practices. Historically, familiars were believed to be supernatural beings, often taking the form of animals like cats, dogs, birds, or toads, and were thought to serve witches by assisting in spellcasting, protecting them from harm, or even carrying out magical tasks on their behalf. Modern witches today often view familiars as spiritual guides. These companions may offer protection, help us focus our energy during rituals, or provide insight through intuitive connection. Familiars often form a deeply personal bond with the witch they assist, enhancing their magical workings and serving as a source of comfort and spiritual companionship. Familiars are not limited to the physical world, as some witches connect with ethereal or spirit familiars, which can act as guides in meditation, divination, and astral work. Do you have and work with a familiar in your practice? Charlene https://witchyworkwishes.com/ https://www.patreon.com/c/witchyworkwishes
