Hi I’m still fairly new to witchcraft despite my book of shadows becoming very full very quickly but I still just can’t get my head around the concept of a familiar. I understand for the most part it’s so something like a witch‘s assistant or a animal partner but how do i get one in a modern context (since summoning a goblin Sabrina the Teenage Witch style seems inconvenient and probably more harm than good) and how does it differ from a pet? Can I make a pet I have into a familiar through some kind of rite? I read somewhere a familiar must come to you instead of you to it....?

For my personal experience, it has been like falling in love. I am a minion to 4 gorgeous and talented felines now in my home but only one Familiar. My Familiar knows my thoughts. It's odd. Thor is an extension of me. I think it's a "just happens" thing, but like love, you prepare your heart and soul for them and they come. But, it's a marriage too. Lots of responsibility. Relationships teach us love, allowing, and acceptance... your Familiar will do this. Blessings. RRB
