Witches have long been associated with familiars—animals believed to assist with magical work, often due to their spiritual or mystical connection. Familiars are said to be naturally attuned to magical energy, sometimes even appearing to guide or support their witch through their presence or behavior.
What defines a familiar? It could be an animal drawn to magical energy or rituals. Some pets, like cats, dogs, or even birds, seem to have a natural sensitivity to magical workings. A familiar might sit beside you during a spell or ritual or display behaviors suggesting they sense the energy in the space.
However, it’s important to note that adopting an animal solely to serve as a familiar is not advisable. True familiars often find their way to you, unplanned, and their role as a companion and helper develops naturally. Watching how your pet interacts with magical practices can be a meaningful way to explore the concept of familiars in your life.

If you have a pet, try practicing a little magic around them and observe their reactions 
. Do they purr, bark, or howl during rituals? Do they seem curious about your circle or the energy in the space? Silly as it may sound, try asking them, “Are you my familiar?” You might just feel their answer in the connection you share.
