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. ⠀

A witch’s animal familiar is their companion and protector, assisting them in their magic. Each is a totem representing a witch’s abilities and characteristics. In the spirit of #Halloween, these animals are mystical and sometimes frightening...but all are powerful spirit guides with both light and dark qualities. Which one is yours?
