I have checked around the site, seeing if there were any previous posts in this. Physically explaining What a familiar is, I didn't find slot, so I decided to give a summary. Included, I have provided a couple of links for further study.

What is a familiar? :
______________________
A familiar is a spirit that is in the shape of a animal form. This familiar defination is typically a animal spirit, that helps the witch, or magician with their magic workings, and is often a companion in terms of their studies.

Back in the medieval times, especially in Europe. A familiar was said to have extremely vivid colors, and could also sometimes be in a human form. Thus due to these aspects, and the associations with witches back then, these familiar beings were often known as, "demons".

In forms such as Shamanism practices, these animals were not even a real animal form. They were just fully based on the persons subconscious form, or a spiritual entity.

How to find a familiar:
