The Witches' Familiar is more than just a pet. It is a sacred animal spirit that has formed a powerful and magickal bond with the witch. The familiar serves as intimate companion, guardian, and often helps the witch to carry out her magickal operations. It is also traditional for the familiar to don a magickal name just as the witch does.Here are some traditional Wiccan choices
but you may choose one of your own to name your familiar.

Hi, cool T13, I have a friend who used to have a cat called Pyewacket. I got here from The T13 Hub but you have entered your URL wrong and so may not get many visitors from there. I would suggest you return and correct the URL. BTW my T13 is here
Interesting TT again. For me my familiar has aways been a cat. My cats are called Freyja & Bastet.
My TT lists 13 of my favourite goddess & fantasy artists.
Thanks for dropping by my blog. And for the welcome to TT
Interesting list! Happy TT! Joely
Interesting blog! I'll be back! Blessings...Kuanyin
haven't quite picked up a familiar yet...I'm sure I'll find one eventually. Until then, I'll have four curious cats who think they want to be a pest more than be a help.
Good list!
I think having a dog with the name Cerberus would be cool. :) I wanted to name a cat Malificent once... and Bethsheba :)Not really witch like I guess... but I just thought they sounded nice.
Interesting TT list. Thank you for sharing. Have a fantastic Thursday.
Yes...lets do that!Going to go add you now! Blessings!
Interestin list.
My TT is posted
Have a wonderful Thursday!
I think i would have to choose a bird, I was born in the Year of the Rooster and my whole family love Birds, so it would make sense to have a bird Familiar.
A most excellent TT, looking forward to your Manic Monday from a fellow minion.

Hello! I am new to witchcraft. Very new. I was wondering if there was a ritual of some kind to draw me to my familiar or vice versa. Can someone help me?
